With a slight kick of my foot, I flick the ball over and stare down at the severed head of Silvia Gale.
She served me her head. Just as she vowed she would.
Perfection.
“Shift, Primary,” I command as I lock onto those feral violet eyes.
She growls in warning at my tone, and I grin.
“Please.”
She purrs.
Dangerous, naughty little Primary.
The light of her shift flashes in front of me and at the same time the Star gems surrounding me explode. My gift was already free, but having that blinding light out of their way, they erupt outward toward their true master.
“Don’t ever do that again. You scared the fuck out of me disappearing like that and not answering all of us,” she fusses the second she’s on two feet. Her fists pound against my chest.
She looks the most beautiful I’ve ever seen her.
Bloodied and battle-ridden. A few marks decorate her body, and I wish I could cut off the hands that left them there. I know her. So I already know they’re no longer breathing.
I snatch her wrist and bring her body to mine.
“You were fucking glorious, Primary. Thank you for rescuing me again,” I say softly as I lay my lips to hers. She melts against me.
Then she crumbles with a soul-snatching scream.
It’s so pain laced, it rips my chest apart.
No…that’s not her scream.
“CORENTIN.”
Her sobs stab me in the heart as my soul starts to break apart.

“Stay with me, Core. Stay with me, please,”I beg him.
“Get to him right fucking now,”I scream to all the others who can hear me.
Snatching Cas by his uniform, I open a transport.
I don’t even know where we’re going, but I command it to follow the tug to Corentin.
We pop up in the middle of a mob.
I unleash hell.
Each of my screams are paired with a deadly blow. Air, earth, water, and fire. Everything I’ve got I force into the bodies surrounding me.
The two of us tear through the circling crowd so we can get to the middle.
I know what and who they’re surrounding.
