I worked vigorously as my magic fought to create the vision in my mind, but I noticed how he wasn’t resisting my advances to capture him.
In fact, it almost felt like he was encouraging it…
“Hold on, Lexianne,”Lily cautioned, and that cued me to come to a dramatic stop as I fought for breath. If this man wasn’t fighting me, it meant he had something up his sleeve.
I tried to think of what he could be scheming. My gaze dropped to my feet, which made me notice the droplet of blood that fell to the sand. I blinked a few times, watching as more droplets fell to the surface of black sand, which made me realize my nose was the culprit.
Nosebleed…
“Something in the atmosphere is making us use triple the energy we should be,”Lily revealed. She sounded pissed at this uncovered nuisance.
Meaning the more power we use, the harder it’s gonna get on our body.
“Essentially,”she muttered.“Until we die.”
How divine. I guess that means I can’t seal him in a glass prison like I wanted to.
“Unless you wish for your heart to give out,”she pointed out.“We can’t fight this battle with any more dark magic. He wants our levels to be at the bare minimum so he can try to put on another collar on us.”
The mere reminder made my lips press firmly together before I conjured up a blade and flicked it with enough force to make it mimic the spinning movement of a boomerang.
It spun majestically in the air until it began cutting through the mass of strings I’d created and my captive prey fell to the ground.
By the time he landed, the blade was back in my possession – my hand catching the hilt of the blade before I lowered my arms to my sides.
Seeing how easily Alpha Shade had landed from the drop only confirmed he knew what he’d been doing by provoking me, but I guessed he didn’t believe I’d figure it out in time, which left him with a scowl on his strained face.
“I guess we can both be upset about that not going as planned, can’t we?” I offered as I rolled my eyes. “You’re really pulling out all the cards to get me back, huh?”
My eyes narrowed as he began to walk towards me, my lips curling into a mocking smile as I tilted my head to one side.
“You’d never go to such lengths for me. Nor would you even dare do so for your ‘beloved’ son. I’ll say son cause I’m going to assume you already know Malifer and Nathan are the same person. If you don’t, then I’ll have to conclude you’re stupider than I recall.”
My words were only fueling his boiling rage as his aura spiked tremendously, but I didn’t care about his wrath. He needed me for something — a different reason than usual — and I had to figure it out.
He was mere steps from me now, and his fury was palpable. If this had happened back in my pack days, I’d be utterly frightened of what the punishment would be.
It had to be one that would riddle me with nightmares for weeks on end.
Before he could dare get his hands on me, he crashed straight into a wall. His surprise was written all over his face as he was forced to take a step back to acknowledge the invisible force that dared to get in his way.
I couldn’t help but grin like a fool. The expression only made the man visibly enraged before he began slamming his fists against the invisible barrier.
“You think a barrier will stop me?” he hissed and moved swiftly to kick me from the side, but his leg slammed into another invisible wall.
His face was growing red as he watched my smirk widen to a wide smile. A kick to my right side confirmed yet another wall shielding me from his wrath, and I wasn’t even surprised that he vanished from my sight and tried to hit me from behind.
Only to hit a wall once again.
"I’d say the fifth time is a charm but who am I kidding?” I pondered more to myself as I crossed my arms in hopes of hiding their trembling.
He couldn’t understand what I was doing until it was far too late.
“You boxed yourself in?” he questioned with pure mockery as he was back to face me with an arched eyebrow. “And what possible reason would you have to do something as stupid as that?”
“Well, it would be a grand discussion to have with a cup of tea or even some vodka, but last time I checked we’re enemies. More than that, I’m trying to protect myself from your wrath, so this is pretty logical if you think about it.”
I guessed my matter-of-fact tone wasn’t as amusing to him because he trembled with so much fury, he reminded me of a rocket ship that was about to explode into the air.
