“No!” She tried to push me away, but I held onto her as tightly as I could.
“Fight him, Katarina,” I growled, feeling the pain all over my body. “You are stronger than this.”
“Zev, stop,” she cried out. “He’s telling me to hurt you. Get away!”
She pushed me back, sinking a knife into my shoulder as a rush of heat pushed me even further away. I hit the wall when I heard her scream again. A blast of fire hit me in the face.
“It’s Caston,” I yelled, but I was in so much pain.
My vision was coming in and out from the pain, but she was coherent when I held her. We needed to get her outside or Lucien needed to get to her.
“Did you think I wouldn’t try again!” Katarina yelled, but I knew it was Caston.
“Let my fucking mate go,” Lucien growled.
Katarina laughed before I felt someone lift me up.
“She’s going to burn the entire house down.” Aeon's voice sounded concerned.
That’s when I noticed most of the front of our home was in flames. The last thing I saw before Aeon dragged me out was Katarina covered in flames looking like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Her fire had burned her clothes leaving her body bare with her hair wildly waving behind her.
“No! We have to get to her.” I tried to pull away from Aeon, needing to go back inside as I was drenched in rain from the downpour. I coughed as my lungs spasmed from the lack of oxygen while I had been in the house.
“Give Lucien a minute,” he snapped, leaving me on the floor.
I sat up watching as Lucien brought Katarina out, but she was kicking and hitting him. She managed to break free from him, punching him in the face before walking away. She was making her way to the gate where she might be able to leave. I didn’t doubt Caston had a plan to get her out of here, including doing whatever he needed to the spell that kept her here.
Aeon rushed to stand in front of her with his hands out.
“Katarina come back,” he commanded.
She looked at him amused, the rain dampened her fire, but she still had flames on her hands and arms.
“Not even the fire wielder could stop me. What makes you think—”
Aeon’s hands waved over her, silencing her but I knew what was happening. He froze her in time.
“I can’t hold her for long,” he gritted out. I stood up to walk over to him while Lucien was walking to us.
Lucien wasted no time in holding onto her. I followed suit, knowing this was going to hurt. Aeon hesitated before he did the same.
“You think this is going to stop me?” She laughed when Aeon's magic had faded away, her dark eyes looking over us.
“No, but this will.”
Mr. Potter appeared with a vial, Aeon pushed her head back. They weren’t quick enough as a blast pushed us away. The sting of the fire made my eyes water, my skin burn, and it hurt to breathe. I coughed, trying to get up and saw Lucien fighting with her.
“Come back to me!” he yelled.
I was bent over, my hands were clenching the dirt as I felt that familiar feel of power. The sensation felt like coming home after the war, but I didn’t enjoy it. I pushed my magic into the ground seeing it travel to Katarina as big roots came up from the ground. They wrapped around Katarina, Aeon froze her in place as time slowed.
“I will fucking find you and rip every fucking appendage off of your body, cauterize the wounds, and leave your pathetic body to rot under vines as you die over and over again.” Lucien's deep voice was menacing, making me proud.
He pushed her head back quickly as Mr. Potter made her drink the contents of it. Her eyes went back to her violet color before they turned black again.
“She is mine.” Her cold alien voice seethed before her eyes drooped closed.
The fire around us stopped, my wolf pushed me forward, needing to check on her.
