---- Doesn't matter if you know," | said with a sadistic grin as my hand dropped to my belt, | pulled my dagger

from its sheath and threw it into his back as he ran. He fell with a dull thud, his chest pierced from behind.

"These were the famous swamp rebels?" | snorted, because they were pathetic, but then... " Another enemy just

arrived!" | spun at Gale's warning. At spoint another of those mages had snuck in and, worse, he was

holding a knife to the woman's neck. Her head was still bowed. "Don't ccloser or I'll end her," he pressed

the tip a little deeper into that white skin.

" You don't want to do something stupid. Let the female go and | might let you live..." | warned through my teeth,

taking another step closer with my hands spread. "I told you not to ccloser! Fuck, are you beasts so dumb --

-- you can't even understand an order!" He roared, tightening his grip on her with his other hand, and his insults

made my teeth grind. | had a pretty sarcastic comeback on the tip of my tongue, but then she lifted her head

and captured all my attention. Through the curtains of silky hair framing her face, a pair of intense gray eyes

stared straight at me.

I could swear | saw moisture in them; below, the small nose and her cheeks were flushed a vibrant red. Her

mouth panted, thick lips parted... | think | saw a wisp of steam cout, but | wasn't sure. "Fuck, she's

gorgeous..." Gale growled, interest rising. Redheads weren't my thing, especially not with gray eyes. | mean... it

was like seeing my father in a wig... and that was way too weird. 1 But this female had something different,

something that bumed through those pale irises like fire blazing inside.

She opened her mouth and tried to form words, but I didn't quite catch them, and | was neck-deep in the most

primitive protective instinct. ---- "I can't reach her wolf, her spiritual world is... chaos, there's too much heat,"

Gale frowned, and | just wanted this over with. " Cut the bullshit and tellwhat you want in exchange," |

snapped, shutting down the sorcerer's rambling. "Takehostage instead, | won't fight you, but don't you dare

hurt her..." | growled, seeing drops of blood slide down the delicate column of her neck. "Do you think I'm an

idiot? | saw what you did to my friends.

The moment | let her go, you'll cfor me..." | had to admit at least a couple neurons were working. | could

end him in a second, but a cornered man is capable of anything, and | didn't want her getting hurt. A glint

flashed in my eyes, and | looked down. A little glass vial had fallen in the grass, and | remembered that was what

they'd tried to force down her throat. "It must be something to control her or drug her, who knows..." Gale came

to the sconclusion | did. A pretty crazy idea, one of my celebrated ones, shot through my ---- head. | needed

him to lower his guard somehow.

Without thinking too much, | bent and grabbed the tiny bottle with the dark liquid inside. What are you doing? |

told you to get out of the clearing!" | popped the cork and brought it to my mouth, chugging all that bitter stuff

that made my brain rattle. Whatever it was, | trusted my mother's power would neutralize it... but I'd slightly

underestimated the magic in this realm. "I already took your drug, see? You can control me, I'm feeling a little

weak. Now let the girl go..." | said, tossing the little vial aside. " Are you... are you insane?" he asked, eyes huge.

" Did you just drink a spell without knowing what it was?" "Yeah, well, that's how spontaneous | am. Let's finish

this," | took another step forward, ignoring her intense stare. She should be terrified, poor thing. «Hold on alittle

longer, gorgeous redhead with sensual lips, I'l rescue you soon.»
