Chương 29: Rune

I was wiping my bloody hands off after I finished with Keen when I felt it, felt him. My heart drops as I think about Syn and I immediately shift to her. I see Ryder and release my power making him pause. He touched her! My thirst for his blood boiled up and out of me in an instant. He says something to her before disappearing and I rush to her seeing her fall.

My heart was being torn in too many ways. I wanted to chase after Ryder and knew I could and I'd kill the bastard but I felt her small frame shaking and she held on for dear life. My cold heart broke and I decided I would chase his ass down later and make him pay. I quickly shifted us to her house and carried her to her room. After wrapping her up I sent my magic all over her to check if she was okay.

The only places I could tell he had touched her was her jaw and... I froze. He had touched her lips. I will be finding him sooner rather than later. He had some nerve to touch my women and I will make sure his death is slow. I use a soothing enchantment to place her to sleep and look at her sleeping face. Her nose and eyes were a little red and I lean down and place a gentle kiss on each one.

He had truly frightened her and it really pissed me off. I run my fingers through her silky hair to pull it away from her beautiful sleeping face. How could someone be so pretty? I feel Fig standing in the hall and look up to find him standing on his hind legs with his little ears back with a worried guilty look.

He was probably blaming himself for not being able to protect her but I didn't. I knew just how powerful Ryder is. Syn and Fig didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell against him. But me? I was just as powerful and I planned to take the bastard out. Him and his entire kingdom. Screw the peace treaties, he touched what was mine and had hurt her. His death was the only answer.

I use my power to shut the door on Fig and look back at her. I lean down and kiss her gently along her jaw and come to a stop at her lips. A light flashes across his eyes as he thinks about the reasons why Ryder would touch her this way. Had he touched her or had he kissed her? Either way it was unacceptable. He wanted her? Wanted her for more than just the power she held?

Anger seeped through his veins at the thought of him wanting her in any way. If he could find out how to get rid of the power she has now, he'd do it in a heartbeat. I could care less about her power, I just wanted her. A dangerous light flashes through his dark golden eyes making them look like a fire was dancing within their depths. My large hand easily reaches the back of her thin neck while using my thumb to push her jaw up to me.

Looking at her lips I bend down and take a deep breath of her. Her scent mixing with mine stiring something dark and dangerous in me. It would be so easy to take her. To make her mine and to take her back and keep her safe. I fight with my inner demons and swallow hard. So easy. I shudder while closing my eyes and shake my head. I open my eyes and look at her and it pains me to hold back but it would hurt so much more to hurt her.

I stroke her smooth skin and lean in to kiss her full lips. Just a gentle touch but I don't pull back immediately. I kiss her again. The barest of kisses. I pull back to look at her sleeping completely unaware and a small sad smile pulls at my lips. I love her. All of her and she is already mine. She just doesn't know it yet.
