I bait the fucking beast, my claws spurting from my fingertips, straight into her skin until her trachea is in my grip.??
A deep snarl sounds from within her, and fire explodes from her nostrils in thick sprays.?
Sin’s chest hits my back in an instant and I can feel his anxiety rise, but I don’t push into him, answering without words.??
My hand begins to shake, my grip loosens and then the fire stops. Victoria's palm wraps around mine, triumph sparking in her eyes.??
My face is charred, skin melting and hanging?in thick chunks. I can hardly see beyond the mess she made of me. My lips are nearly gone, so what a fucking sight it must be when my bond, the part of myself I pissed off, catches up to what we’re doing here, and my fangs break free in a slow, purposeful descend. They tear through what’s left of my face, sending a fresh trail of blood down my neck.?
I see it in her eyes, the moment she realizes she’s a dead dragon.??
“And you’re supposed to be the lead of a team of monsters?” My claws still stick in her neck. I dig them a little deeper as I turn my face from right to left, my gaze never leaving hers. “Is this what her hand looked like after your little prank?” Deeper. “Was her flesh falling at your feet like mine?”?
Victoria whimpers in shock. “But she’s a reject. She—”?
“Belongs to your future King,” Sinner growls.??
Her brows dip. “But—”?
Dug in as far as they’ll extend, I drag my claws down … and they slice her open like a ripe fucking watermelon. Victoria convulses, so I snap her spine next, and her body slumps to the floor.?
Wiping my hand on my shirt, I step over her and continue down the hall.??
“But fucking nothing.”??

London??
I feel the power swirl from beneath my body and I slowly drift to my feet, swiping my hair out of my face. I take in the people around me.?
So. Many. People.??
The smirks, the smug grins, the disdain. I hate it here. What had just happened? I didn’t want to be Knight’s mate, but what did it mean that he just publicly renounced our mating? I can still feel him inside of me, so I know that it isn’t that simple.??
Lost in my train of thought, I don’t realize how much smaller the space around me has gotten.??
I step backwards, attempting to put some distance between me and the crowd of Gifted, when I bang into someone behind me.??
“Oh, look who it is. Fresh meat?” someone murmurs.??
Another laughs. “Hardly fresh. Let’s play with her a little. Open her up and see if she has a heart.” ?
I jolt back again but the space tightens.??
Suddenly, a hand wraps around my right palm and I’m being pulled through the sea of people. I don’t even know who it is, and I don’t care. All I know is I need to get out of here and whoever this person is, is helping me do that.??
Bodies brush against mine the faster we go, and then we’re dipping down a small alleyway. The hooded figure pushes me against a brick wall before removing the garment from her head and resting it on her neck.??
Kaia stares back at me with wide brown eyes, the kind that resemble bark. Which is fitting, considering she’s an earth pixie and the notorious ganja dealer. “We need to get you away from here, London. They’ll want your blood if they find out whose blood runs in your veins and without the Royal’s protection, I am afraid you’ll be cooked meat.”??
I suck in a breath. “You know...”
Kaia shrugs a shoulder.
I swallow hard, unsure of what to do.
But what the hell can I do?
