Chapter 1549
---- Doesn't matter if you know," I said with a sadistic grin as my hand dropped to my belt, I 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?" I snorted, because they were pathetic, but then... " Another enemy just arrived!" I spun at Gale's warning. At some point 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 come closer 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 I might let you live..." I warned through my teeth, taking another step closer with my hands spread. "I told you not to come closer! 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. I 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 I saw moisture in them; below, the small nose and her cheeks were flushed a vibrant red. Her mouth panted, thick lips parted... I think I saw a wisp of steam come out, but I wasn't sure. "Fuck, she's gorgeous..." Gale growled, interest rising. Redheads weren't my thing, especially not with gray eyes. I 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 I 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 I just wanted this over with. " Cut the bullshit and tell me what you want in exchange," I snapped, shutting down the sorcerer's rambling. "Take me hostage instead, I won't fight you, but don't you dare hurt her..." I growled, seeing drops of blood slide down the delicate column of her neck. "Do you think I'm an idiot? I saw what you did to my friends.
The moment I let her go, you'll come for me..." I had to admit at least a couple neurons were working. I could end him in a second, but a cornered man is capable of anything, and I didn't want her getting hurt. A glint flashed in my eyes, and I looked down. A little glass vial had fallen in the grass, and I 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 same conclusion I did. A pretty crazy idea, one of my celebrated ones, shot through my ---- head. I needed him to lower his guard somehow.
Without thinking too much, I bent and grabbed the tiny bottle with the dark liquid inside. What are you doing? I told you to get out of the clearing!" I popped the cork and brought it to my mouth, chugging all that bitter stuff that made my brain rattle. Whatever it was, I 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..." I 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 I am. Let's finish this," I 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.»
