Chapter 207

“S**t.” I cursed.

Breyona’s sharp gaze softened. She pursed her lips and murmured, “You didn’t even realize you did it, did you?”

“No.” It came out as a whisper. “I didn’t.”

“She wants to k**l that one since her twin got away. Brandon actually ran into the fire witch on his way here. He’s got a nasty b**n on his shoulder to prove it.” Breyona pointed out, her eyes still on the mess ahead.

“Well, lets go intervene. Shall we?”

Turns out, there wasn’t much I had to do to turn Dina’s attention away from Tessa. My mere presence was enough to have her hackles raising and lips pulling back to show rows of sharp teeth. Breyona situated herself in front of me, standing off to the side incase I needed her. Standing a healthy distance away, keeping a firm watch on Tessa, was Clara, Mason, Sean, along with a mixture of Vampire’s and warriors.

“Dina…” I said in greeting. “You look good.”

Breyona snorted but covered it up with a well-placed cough.

“She’s uh, she’s trying to mind-link you, but since you’ve got all that silver in your back, it’s not going through.” She explained, her eyes flitting between me and the angry wolf.

“Then it’s a good thing I have this…” Tristan’s voice materialized just a few feet away.

Perhaps he’d been there the entire time, but the loss of blood made it hard to pay attention. I let out a groan of pure, untethered relief when he passed me a blood bag. Each gulp cascaded down my throat and soothed the raging case of dry mouth I had. It also chased away the aches and pains weighing me down, worsening the exhaustion that made me want to crawl into bed and take a long nap.

I hadn’t even realized he’d moved around to examine my wounds until he spoke a second time.

“You just can’t stay out of trouble, can you?” He cursed, his touches feather light.

“She’s always been like that, even back when she was just a wolf.” Breyona smirked.

Tristan snorted, but then turned and spoke to Dina.

“Think you can refrain from k*****g the witch until I get these arrows out of Lola’s back?” He grunted.

Dina gave him a loud, wet snarl as a reply.

“How considerate of you.” He deadpanned.
