Chapter 406: Shattered

When Cassian lunged, everything slowed down in front of Graeme's eyes. The air around the intruder looked as if it burst into flames with the Veiled that he could now see, and without even a glance in either of their directions, Sam and Lucas went flying against opposite walls of the office.

Graeme felt the resistance of that force as well as if there was an invisible attempt to throw him, too, but he braced himself against it and watched as Cassian's fists came at him in slow motion. He ducked and dodged before landing a series of shots to the male's torso all while blood-curdling snarls surrounded them. Graeme knew they were coming from him—that was the lycan effect of making yourself as threatening as possible in every way during a fight, including the sounds that threatened death—but they were a backdrop to the cascade of movements that unleashed from Cassian once Graeme landed the first blows.
