THREE WEEKS LATER
The vibrations travelingup my arm from hitting the post felt great.Toogood. So, I swung my nun chucks against it again. And again.
And again.
My bones jarred from the force of my hits.
A chunk of loose hair caught in my mouth the next time when I shrieked in anger.
“Iss. Iss,” Jari panted as he ran up to me, “the post didn’t do a damned thing to you. You know that, right?” He swiped the sweat off his forehead as he placed a hesitant hand on the back of my neck.
Brave of him.
“I doubt it minds,” I gritted out as I forced my arms down to my side, chest heaving from more than exertion.
Ever since the attack, my frustration and self-pity had been on the rise. The only thing that seemed to bring me a smidgen of comfort was beating the posts into submission. Our asses had been gloriously handed to us, we had lost seven beloved Mannos, and to top it all off, we’d discovered some very unsettling facts.
Like the existence of another Mazza. One who clearly was on the evil side of the equation.
And that my one and only long term fuck buddy was one of her bonds.
What the fuck?
“Iss?” Jari stepped back.
“Sorry.” I blew out a breath and threw my head back to glare up at the sky. I’d been operating on this low level of rage every single day. The longer we went without any kind of plan, the more my emotions were getting the best of me.
And my powers?
Yeah, those still hadn’t really surfaced either.
If it wasn’t for our marks tying us all together, I’d really doubt I was who they thought I was. I’d never experienced imposter syndrome, but I imagined this was what it felt like.
I didn’tknowanything.
I couldn’tdoanything.
Everyone looked at me like I was going to suddenly sprout golden wings and fly us to victory on rainbow glitter farts.
It was so much pressure, without anything in my tank to back it up. I would take any kernel of hope, but right now? There was exactlynothing.
Bone dry.
Every time I’d broached the topic about getting the metal statue with Yunez,whenhe was around, he shook his head. Said we weren’t ready.
But mostly, he’d been absent, tucked away with his generals.
Thankfully, Rand had been around for our training. Even now, he was across the courtyard tossing me questioning stares, while he worked with Nato on blocking. A skill Nato had never had, but they were trying to see if he could develop it with our bond.
Did I say the guys were slowly building in power?
They were. Slowly, but it was an improvement.
Better than me, who seemed to be going backwards.
“I’m done with my pity party. I’ll leave the post alone to fight another day.” My fingers flexed around the nun chucks. The warm wood strong and unbreakable in my grip.
Jari gave me a crooked grin and stepped forward as he raised his hands. “You’re allowed to have one a day. Who am I to get in your way? And have I told you how sexy you are when you’re angry? Your face flushes so pretty.” His voice dropped as he brushed my chest with his and dropped his head to nuzzle my cheek. “Just like when you come on my cock.”
