no use for him anymore since their portion of training was done and he could go back to his normal Elder duties.
    When he opened his eyes, Mya stared back at him with those empty eyes.
    “What happened out there, Mya?”
    The power pulsing from her made his muscles tense. At any moment, it could explode and kill everyone in a twenty mile radius like an atom bomb. His skin crawled. It was the same type of energy she emanated when she’d broken the magick shackles back at the cabin.
    And he’d done the only thing he knew how to, to burn off the power she generated, but he wouldn’t be doing that now. Liam’s warning only reinforced the fact he shouldn’t ever touch her again.
    Even having her on his lap became too close for comfort. He stood up with her in his arms and placed her on the bed. She curled into herself, turning away from him, clutching a pillow against her body.
    He scrubbed a hand over his face. Son-of-a-bitch. What would he to do about her? If she had another episode?
    Her raw and raspy voice startled him, “Thank you. You may be excused. Will you please send Liam back in?”
    “You’re awake?”
    “Please send Liam up.” Her tone held no emotion whatsoever.
    “Do you want to tell me what happened out there?”
    “No. I have nothing to say to you.”
    “Like hell, you don’t. I saw what happened with the birds. I heard your screams—even Liam couldn’t calm you down.”
    “I asked you to leave and to send Liam up. Do you have a problem taking orders, sweetheart?”
    Her tone scraped his nerves like nails on a chalkboard. Cole cracked his knuckles to keep his fists occupied—to keep from hitting the damned wall. Tension lit the air mixing with the power she put out. “Mya, you have to get a grip on your magick. You’re likely to blow the place up with the power you’re putting out.”
    “Oh, and I suppose you’re concerned because you’re still inside and might get blown up in the process. Well then, by all means, vacate the premises and remove everyone else from the house. I don’t care what you do, just leave.”
    “What the fuck has gotten into you?”
    “You,” she said with venom, “You, for one, got into me.”
    His muscles tensed. “Is that what this is about, why you lost it out there?”
    She snickered, an evil little laugh. “What happened today has absolutely nothing to do with you and I or anything remotely close to you sticking your dick inside of me, so don’t flatter yourself.” Mya sat up on the bed and turned to face him. Her green eyes still weren’t sparkling with life, but rather covered in a dark menace. “Hear the absoluteness in my words when I say, you are the furthest thing in my mind right now.”
    Cole’s nostrils flared with each deep inhalation he took and he crossed his arms over his chest. “Is it Liam you want, then? I’ll get right on it for you.”
    “Thank you.” She stood up from the bed and smoothed her dress down her tight, little body.
    He took a step closer to her, breathing in her honeysuckled scent. “I am only trying to help you.”
    “Yes, like when you strapped on the condom and helped me at the cabin? I’m very aware of what accompanies your assistance and I’m politely declining.”
    He ran a hand through his hair, glancing down at the floor. “Mya, what happened between us—”
    “What happened between you and I was never meant to be.” Mya cut him off. She threw his words back at him as if they were daggers. “Now, if you’ll excuse me I have training I need to finish.” She stepped around him and padded out of the bedroom, leaving him and his cock stiff as a board.
    Shit, he needed to get a grip and find something to occupy his time before he utterly fucking lost it and went on a rampage. He never should have touched her. The worst part of Mya was him and he wouldn’t corrupt her any longer with his perverse needs.
    She deserved someone better than him.
