Mirage’s P.O.V
“Alex!”
I went to reach out for him, but Alistair caught me from behind with his hands around my waist and hauled me back to his chest.
“Now, now…” his menacing voice reached my ears from behind, making a chill run down my spine. “Don’t rush yet. You don’t want Akiko’s hands to slip and behead your little boy-toy, now do you?”
“Don’t you dare! Don’t you fucking dare!” I was past getting scared of him. This wasn’t about me anymore. This was about my mate…and from the looks of it, he already had tortured Alex while I had been out.
But as Alistair’s nails dug into my waist, I knew I had enough.
Jabbing my elbow into his side, I twisted out of his grip as soon as I heard him groan out a curse and then I twisted around and held out my hand in front of his face, palms out…and released a ball of light.
