us some Strigoi. It should most definitely help you with your bloodlust.”
He smiles as if his mate didn’t just reveal to him she wants to rip some throats out.
I just smirk back at him as I turn back to Zari to apologize for new found powers I didn’t know existed until now.
We act like nothing happened as we step into the woods in a companionable silence. I know if I am going to die, I wouldn’t want anyone other than Zari and Alexander by my side.
The only light we have to guide us in the deep forest is the large moon safely nestled away at the top of the pine trees. Why we are moving at night and not slaying these beasts in their sleep is beyond me. As the clearing becomes visible ahead of us, I feel an overwhelming need to rush ahead. Just as my feet are about to carry me farther, Alexander reaches out and takes me by the shoulder. When we are face to face, he kisses my lips with a consuming passion that ignites a flame deep inside me. Calmness washes over me just as quickly as the passion dissipates from my core.
When I look around, I see Alexander and I are the only two in the field. I realize this is part of the strategy and force myself not to look back for the others.
Just as the calmness seeps into my very soul, I feel a tremendous shaking in the ground, like an earthquake is approaching us.
“Prepare my Love!”
Life seems to be moving at a sluggish pace in front of me. The air starts to distort as I see Alexander with thick blood and other gore covering his astounding black muzzle. When I look at where all the blood is coming from, I am affronted by the sight of many Strigoi lying in a heap at his feet, the majority of them ripped to pieces as the apparently lucky ones are only disemboweled. As I finally tear my gaze from the carnage at his feet, I notice I have a pretty nasty pile in front of me also. Trying to look for faces and failing, I see they have all been mangled beyond repair. When I pick up my feet, I notice the blood has pooled up over my new black boots. Standing in a thick puddle of blood of my own damn creation! Did I do this? Was this the not being in control as Alexander spoke of? I will have to deal with this at a later time.
I again feel electricity in the air but instead of seeing a bloody pile of savages at my feet, I see a wondrous flash of lightning illuminate the beautiful night sky. In that flash of light , I am able to see the other Neuri coming out of the woods at the backs of the remaining Strigoi minions.
As I circle around with Alexander, we put our backs against each other as we prepare to meet with the Neuri warriors coming from the surrounding tree line.
Finally feeling we are prepared for the remainder of the battle to commence, I see the sky starting to lighten with streaks of picturesque pinks and purples as the beginnings of dawn quickly approaches.
The Strigoi seem to feel the approaching dawn as they take to the sky at alarming speeds I have never before witnessed.
Alexander quickly turns me around to face him, when our gazes meet, we are no longer beasts. Seeing concern written all over his ruggedly handsome features, I can’t help but pull my eyes away from his seemingly sympathetic eyes only to realize quickly I can’t hide in my own head. Oh yeah, I forgot I’m pissed at him for not teaching me how to shield my internal battles from him. It’s as if his scrutiny peers into my very soul every time he looks me in the eyes. Knowing I lost control tonight even in the middle of battle seems to be even less reassuring to me as I thought it would be.
Alexander breaks my concentration by using our connection only to comfort me. “I am here, my love. I will help you gain control of this new beast we have become. I will love you until the end of days my dearest Lea.”
Feeling elated as I walk hand in hand with Alex. Looking down I notice my black pants, black shirt and my new combat boots are all covered in the gore that has become the Strigoi army we
