Chapter 88

4. One of Us

SKYLA.

He doesn’t fight back and that just angers me even more and I keep hitting his chest. I’m about to break.

I need them gone! I need to be alone.

“Get out! Everyone get out.” I say, my command rolling through my voice.

“Sky.” Azura tries, but I don’t want to hear it.

None of them fucking moves!

“I said get the fuck out!” I scream, feeling my canines grow, and my claws come out as I glare at them all.

Kataleya is the only one hesitating, wanting to listen and I can tell my command is affecting all three, but they’re also fucking strong enough to defy me.

I’m about to shove Dante again, when a hand gently wraps around my wrist, making my heart thunder, as sparks sizzle through me, and my gaze snaps to the bed.

Royce!

His gorgeous grey eyes are half open as he looks at me through his lashes. The lightning is no longer rippling through him.

“You’re rather loud, Love.” He says, his voice hoarse and I almost collapse in relief, a surge of relief and happiness rushing through me.

I hear Azura and Kataleya gasp in relief, but I’m far too emotional to care, or consider the others in the room anymore.

“You’re awake!” I say, turning and raising his hands to my lips. “Thank fuck!”

I kiss his hand, my heart pounding. I want to hug him; I want to hold him close, but I know he’s hurting.

He tugs me close, and although I want to protest that he’s injured, he pulls me onto his lap, wrapping his arms around me tightly. He kisses the top of my head. Despite being weak, there are so many emotions going through him.

His hand grips the side of my face and the back of my neck as his lips meet mine in a smouldering kiss.

My eyes flutter shut as I kiss him back, I almost lost him… how terrifying is life that at any moment, anything can happen?
