“If you hadn’t had sex already, I would say just have sex,” Lucien shook his head with a grin on his face.
“Pass,” I said, grabbing my coffee cake, even though just being near him had me on edge.
Zev threw the knives at me, one right after another. I dodged one and was able to catch two of them when I dropped my coffee cake. His aim was shit but I managed to catch one on the sharp end holding in the cry from the pain in my palm. I threw both knives on the table glaring at Zev as I picked up my snack.
“Can we get back to the spell?” Aeon sounded irritated, but he was right, we were wasting time. “You can fuck afterwards.”
I grabbed a book sitting by Aeon and got back to working on the spell. Taking a deep breath, we went back to work without interruption. It was like piecing a puzzle together. Zev left soon afterward with his shitty attitude and a grumble. We were so engrossed in our work that we didn’t even realize the library was starting to light up with the sunrise. The sky had a purple glow to it that was beautiful.
Aeon and Lucien were looking out the big windows in awe, we had never really seen the sunlight like this. I loved seeing them like this, and I was grateful that even if it was just for a moment, they got to bask in the sun’s rays.
“I forgot what the library looked like during the day.” Lucien’s voice was full of emotion.
“It was the best place in the castle.”
“It’s absolutely beautiful, our library at home couldn’t even hold a candle to it,” I said, feeling a prickle of awareness.
I looked around worried that Zev would come in. It was definitely time to go back to my room.
“Kit Kat, go back to our room.” Lucien’s voice was deeper, full of fear. “Tread slowly, until you leave the library.
“Lucien,” I said his name with worry.
“Just go.” His voice had changed.
Looking over my shoulder, I saw a black wolf appear behind Lucien. Aeon was facing Zev, but they were all completely still. Zev’s attention was on the guys and Lucien’s eyes were golden, but he looked to be in total control. I took a soft step back, trying to be light on my feet not to make a sound, but also prepared to run for my life if I needed to.
I took a few steps before he noticed me. A deep growl made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. There was no way I was going to make it to the room, it was too far and I was worried when the guys shifted that they would lose themselves to the curse.
Aeon and Lucien stood in front of him like a wall, but I still didn’t like our odds. There were too many variables, so I did something Lucien and I had only tried once. I let my fire come to my hands, then threw up a wall of fire. It was probably dumb, but I didn’t even see if it had worked. I ran further into the library to the spiral staircase to make it up to the second floor when a growl sounded a lot closer than I was expecting.
When I climbed the staircase, I looked behind me to see all three of them running to me. My heart rate spiked, not bothering to attempt to see who was feral or still protecting me.
One of them hit the staircase making me yelp in surprise. Stepping onto the second floor, I raced to the last spot I had hidden from the wolves. I made it to the bookshelf and was about to start climbing when a wolf ran into me and another launched itself at me.
Katarina!
It sounded like Lucien’s voice in my head, making me hesitate from pulling my knives out. Lucien’s wolf pushed me behind him, growling at the other wolves. My heart was racing until I realized Lucien was moving so that I could be closer to the bookshelf.
I’m going to attack; you need to be ready to run somewhere safe.
How are we speaking to each other?I wondered if he had heard me.
Go!He yelled before he launched himself at the nearest wolf.
I turned to climb the bookshelf when I heard a loud yelp, sending my anxiety through the roof. Climbing over the edge, I laid down panting hard, looking down to see one of them trying to get up here, but it wasn’t working out. I formed a ball of fire, letting it fall on the one I thought was Zev, but extinguishing it after I heard a snarl before they or anything else caught fire.
Lucien growled, attacking whoever had tried climbing on the bookshelf, blood dripping from his teeth.
The yelp gave me satisfaction.
Lu, are you ok?
I didn’t know what the hell I was doing as I tried to communicate with him, but he got them to chase him, taking them hopefully far away from me.
It looked like I was going to be stuck here until the curse released them. There was no way I was taking a chance on trying to get to my room. I tried to stand up when my legs buckled. Blood was coming out of my leg, but I couldn’t remember when I hurt myself or who had hurt me. It looked like it was three gashes, more than likely from someone’s claws.
“Kit Kat.” I turned around to Lucien climbing over the top of the shelf.
