I ducked and rolled. The snake part of the Chimera was blazingly fast. It immediately swung back around and hurtled toward me again.
No wonder the goat didn’t seem worried about me. The snake could keep me at bay for as long as the lion head needed to take care of Nathaniel.
I risked a glance in his direction. He’d obviously realized he’d need his wolf form, because he’d stripped off his clothes. The lion head lunged at him, and he shifted in midair as he leaped aside, his claws slicing down its head.
One of the heads had to control the snake tail. If we killed that head, it’d be easier to take out the other one. Unfortunately, I had a pretty good feeling the goat head was the one that was really in charge here.
I watched as the snake cut across the stone floor. It had limited reach, thanks to the way the lion head was currently attempting to take a bite of Nathaniel. Unless the lion head cooperated, the snake could only sweep back and forth along the floor in front of me. And if I got close enough, I’d be able to avoid it and kill the goat.
This would be a hell of a lot easier if I could use my power.
Fucking Taraghlan.
I took a few steps closer. The snake sliced through the air, and I ducked and rolled again, sliding in close to the goat head. I buried my A-F in its gut, and the goat snapped at me. The snake hissed and swung my way.
Nathaniel roared a warning.
“I’ve got it.”
I lunged backward, and the snake lashed at me. Rolling to the right, I launched myself to my feet.
I sliced my A-F through the snake, and I fell, off-balance. The snake head fell on top of me.
I didn’t flap my hands and shriek “Ew! Get it off! Get it off!” but it was close.
Both the goat and the lion heads howled as blood sprayed.
Without the snake, I could get closer to the goat. I sent a quick glance at Nathaniel in time to see him rip out the lion’s throat.
The goat snarled at me, more canine than goat. But with the lion dying next to it, it couldn’t do much as I shoved my A-F into its eye and twisted.
I stepped away and surveyed the Chimera. “Two out of three,” I preened. “Does that make me the heavy hitter in this relationship?”
Nathaniel wandered over to me, his wolf’s head almost level with my chest. He licked my cheek, chuffing as I squirmed away.
“Gross!”
He was suddenly a man, and he grinned at me. My face flamed as I took in his naked form.
My eyes dropped to his bare chest. The werewolf Alpha was all hard muscle, with not an ounce of extra fat anywhere. I’d seen him training with his wolves, and I knew he didn’t do it so he looked good.
That was a side benefit.
My gaze continued down his chest to his abs. I wanted to trace each bump with my tongue. Then I’d linger on that V that pointed directly to his—
He groaned.
Our eyes met and held.
His smile was slow, hot, wicked. “Your eyes have gone a little…glazed,” Nathaniel purred, taking a step toward me.
“We don’t have time,” I whispered. Or whimpered. Whatever.
“We don’t. But I’ve been making a list of all the things I’m going to do to you when I finally get you alone and no one’s trying to kill us.”
He stepped closer, and it took everything in me not to let my gaze drift back down.
“God, the way you look at me,” he said, and his eyes were suddenly all wolf.
