Kira shook her head. Poor fools.
âI guess when you were telling stories you forgot that part,â Kira drawled, forcing herself not to flinch as the heat of Harlowâs anger threatened to spill onto her when he glanced at her.
Was this what others felt when she lost her temper?
The tightness in the chest and the crushing knowledge that a single wrong move could be their end?
Kira breathed through the overwhelming power.
Movement from one of the windows above caught her attention as Elena was pulled back into the fortress by Raider.
He sent her a hand signal that said, âIâve got your back.â
It was unnecessary. Partly because Harlow wouldnât hurt her. Mostly because Raider stood no chance against the Overlord.
He might slow him down but that was about it.
Jin had the same thought as Raider, shifting to a lower altitude so he could act if the situation deteriorated.
âYou threatened my niece.â Harlowâs voice had developed an animal-like growl that sent chills down Kiraâs back.
It was hard to believe Harlow lacked a primus.
The menace he was projecting was the same type Kira had in the moments leading to the primus assuming supremacy.
Kira wouldnât be surprised if in the next second symbols started scrolling across his skin as a monster tore forth.
Almost unconsciously, Kira slowed her breathing. As if by doing so, she could reduce her sense of presence.
Jin slipped closer, careful to stay in Harlowâs blind spot.
Kira glanced to her left and then her right, carefully cataloging everything nearby as she considered her options for defusing the situation.
What kind of idiots delivered themselves up on a platter like this? If she got injured saving them, she was going to be pissed.
Boden touched his chest, looking vaguely insulted. âI would never threaten a child.â
All thought of interfering on their behalf vanished as Graydon choked on a laugh.
âIt is amazing how insulting a Tuann can be without even trying,â Kira said with a glare.
In this situation youâd think theyâd be trying to get her on their side. Not making her angrier.
The writhing mass of power that had surrounded Harlow abated, vanishing beneath his skin as the storm clouds above dissipated.
âItâs probably a genetic trait.â Jinâs voice came from overhead as he moved out of the shadows to join them. âYou have the same ability to send others into a rage by simply being yourself.â
Kira ignored Finnâs nod of agreement and Graydonâs chuckle as she pointed to Boden and Edris, catching them in the act of reaching for their en-blades.
âDonât even think about it,â she warned. âIâm less gentle than Selene. I wonât simply knock you off a balcony.â
Not to mention it was the height of stupidity to draw those blades while standing on Roakeâs doorstep and in the presence of the Overlord.
Already, she could feel the change in air pressure around Harlow as he fixed his gaze on the three from Kashori.
âI think Iâm beginning to understand what happened.â Graydonâs gaze lingered on Jin. âYou were somewhere you werenât supposed to be, werenât you? What happened to behaving yourself?â
Jin made a disdainful sound.
