While Rion contains Anna, Killian goes for Aksel.

Darkness erupts around us, making me momentarily blind until Aksel gives me back my sight.

It’s moments like this when I’m grateful he’s on my side.

Killian is fighting Aksel’s powers, leaving an opening for me.

I shift into my snow leopard form and pounce, tearing through his back with my claws.

His roar of pain is music to my ears.

With Anna and Rion occupied, we have to fight harder to win this.

When we kill Killian, Anna will be released.

Blaze moves next, cocking his fist back to punch Killian but he pulls up short when Anna appears right in his fist’s path.

Somehow she escaped Rion and came to protect him.

“Blind her!” Blaze shouts to Aksel.

Griffyn moves, sneaking closer to Anna without drawing her attention. He releases his hormones in full force on Anna.

I feel the effects from here but focus on pouncing again while Anna is distracted.

Griffyn’s wings burst free and wrap around Anna while he tries to contain her with his powers. When she doesn’t immediately reappear, I assume it’s working.

Blaze shifts his hand into massive claws before stabbing Killian in his gut and pulling upwards to maximize the damage.

Aksel still has his darkness swirling to contain and disorient Killian.

For a moment, it feels like we are winning.

Killian roars, throwing Blaze and me off of him. I have no idea how he knows where Aksel is but Killian charges him, disturbing the magic so we can all see again.

Aksel and Killian engage in hand-to-hand combat, moving too quickly for any of us to intervene without possibly hurting Aksel.

I look around for Rion and find him slowly standing up and cupping his head.

I shift back. “Rion, what the hell happened?”

He shakes his head and looks around the room. Rion’s shoulders drop when he spots Anna with Griffyn.

“She knocked me out. I wasn’t going to fight her which gave her an advantage when she smacked my head on the ground.”

She’s going to feel guilty when this is over but none of this is her fault. It’s Killian’s and we need to end this.

I hear a defining snap and Aksel’s roar of pain. His arm is dangling at his side, but he doesn’t stop fighting for a second. He needs help, but the way Killian moves is too fast.

“Rion, you need to separate them. Aksel needs help and Killian is the fastest vampire I’ve ever seen,” I say quietly to only Rion.

He nods, takes a deep breath, and uses his own speed to push Killian away from Aksel.

I rush to his side.

“The fucker broke my fucking arm!” Aksel shouts.

He looks murderous.
