I didn't flinch. Didn't blink.
"I don't know what you're talking about," I said calmly, taking another step forward. "But I do know one thing…"
I raised my hand. Energy pulsed in my palm, light and darkness coiled together.
"I will end you… for ever laying a finger on my mate. For threatening my family, friends and kingdom." I bared my teeth ready to shift and attack but suddenly—
Light erupted behind me. Blinding. Warm. Infinite.
I spun around, shielding my eyes—
Two figures emerged from the brilliance.
A woman cloaked in silver, her skin glowing like moonlight on still water. Her eyes held the reflection of stars—gentle, eternal.
And beside her stood a man tall and radiant, golden warmth rippling from him like sunlight after a storm. His presence calmed the wind. His eyes were fire and kindness all at once.
Shadow shrieked behind me, a sound full of ancient hatred. "YOU!"
