My body shook from the aftereffects of the killings. If I had not fed from my mate, I would have not made it back to the coven in one piece. I had tried to control my beast but the minute our mate was threatened it wanted death to those who declared the threat.
The Anthora tattoo burned when I attacked the rebels and kept healing me and consuming my energy. I would discuss this with Lycus tonight. Looking at the clock, I realized I had only two hours before my mate made his way to me. I could not let him find me in this state. I rushed to shower and get changed.
Standing by the balcony door, I stared into the night sky. I welcomed the cold night air to calm my nerves. Having Lycus in my bed was all that I wanted. The need to feed and be with him overpowered my senses.
A knock at the door was an indication that Lycus was there. My body trembled in anticipation as I yanked the door open and there stood my object of affection.
