“Oh my goddess, baby.” I ran to him and saw he was a bloody mess.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” he said, as I hauled him up.

He reached for me, pulling me to his chest as he shuddered.

“I’m fine, I’m fine,” I said, holding onto him, feeling his fear for the first time.

“I have to go, but I needed to check on you.” He pulled back to look at me. “I didn’t mean to hurt you, but the curse called to Aeon and he was—”

“I’m fine, it’s ok,” I said, grabbing his face.

“I saw you climb up, but I needed to make sure you were ok.” He kissed me quickly.

“I’m ok, I promise,” I said, even though I felt a throbbing pain in my leg.

“I’ll send Mr. Potter to look at your leg, I just—”

“Lucien, I am fine.” I brought him forward for another kiss. “I’m more shocked at hearing you in my head.”

“I heard you too, and as much as I want to keep practicing, I need to go,” he said, like he was whining.

“Ok, I mean it’s a good thing, right?”

“Everything with you is a good thing, Katarina,” he whispered, pulling me in for a kiss that made my toes curl. “Mine” he growled.

“Yours always,” I growled back.

He kissed me roughly, nicking me with his teeth from the intensity.

When he pulled away his eyes were yellow, his canines had lengthened, and he had a predatory gaze on me.

“I exist for you, mate.” He pulled away from me leaving me needy from that kiss.

I took a deep breath, calming my libido.

“Those fools,” Mr. Potter yelled, before he floated to me.

“I’m fine,” I said as he helped me up.

“I told them not to get too comfortable,” he snarled, when he saw how much I was limping. Mr. Potter lifted me up bridal style saying things I didn’t understand.

“It’s not that bad,” I groaned, when he put me on the bench by the window.

“They could have killed you,” he said, cutting my leggings.

“It’s not like I wouldn’t have come back to life.” I tried defending them for some reason.

“What if the magic isn’t strong enough to bring you back?”

“I didn’t think of that,” I said, as a new wave of anxiety ran through me. “But why do you think the magic is running out?”

He didn’t respond while he looked at the opened flesh. I didn’t think it was that bad, but it seemed Lucien got me good.

“Can you explain why they are waking up earlier and earlier?” He spoke softly. “Or why was your husband able to walk on the property?”

“No, I can’t,” I said, wondering why I never thought it was strange they were waking up earlier. “I guess I was hoping that since we were mating maybe I lessened the curse.”

“Then why is Zev waking up early?” He cleaned my wound, patted it dry, grabbing a needle and thread.
