章節 126: Chapter 126: Zoe's Power

I threw my arms around Zoe Helios the second she was in reach, hugging her firmly to me while she laughed, breathless from the embrace. Though I barely knew her, really, I couldn't help the tightening in my throat and chest, the burning in my eyes at seeing her there, safe and sound.

She'd saved my life, that of my family, when she'd risked everything to come and warn me the night the Brotherhood attacked. Burning up from her own power, turning into the Phoenix, she found the strength to travel to Wilding Springs and give me the warning I needed to transport the family to safety just in time.

For that she would always be my sister in arms.

I released her, laughing myself, the lightheartedness I felt a vast change from the depth of my concentration with Max. Even he felt less oppressive, more optimistic at the sight of her, though it wasn't until his power connected with hers I realized why he was so happy to see her.
