Excerpt:
Reece closed up her altar room just as she
heard a knock on her bedroom door. Nathan stuck his head in cautiously. “Is it
all clear?” he asked.
Reece gave him a tired smile and waved him
in. She sank down into her bed, still wearing the beautiful gown and fell back
into her pillows. She was always so drained after doing a spell. After her
Kindling, it would be different. The power she would have would be welcome. She
turned her head in Nate's direction and blew out a breath. “Earlier today, I
felt someone using black magic. Piers ‘fessed up to it. I've not asked
specifics, and I don't want to. He's changing now, I'm sure you see it as well.
His temper is out of control and I'm afraid of what he's planning on doing to
you, to anyone that upsets him in any way,” she told Nate is a somber tone.
“Black magic? Are you sure?” Nathan asked
not able to believe it himself.
Reece nodded soberly and his eyes met hers
in a wide gaze. “I just performed a binding spell on Piers. He will hate me for
it I'm sure...but I had no other option. If I had the power, I would have bound
Piers from hurting anyone but I won't have that type of power until my
Kindling.”
Nate plopped down on the bed beside her and
took her hand in his. He opened his mouth to say something but the bedroom door
flew open and Piers strode in. Reece gasped and stood up quickly. Nathan also
rose and faced Piers.
“I had to warn him. You know I had to,”
Reece said as she walked over to him slowly. Piers glared at her, the anger
directed towards her now.
“You had to huh? You tell me not to be
jealous yet you have him in your bedroom...on your bed. This is between me and
him, my so called friend,” Piers snarled.
“Piers,” she began but Piers interrupted.
“I warned you not to make me jealous again.
It ends now Reece,” he cried angrily.
Piers grabbed Reece’s wrist roughly and
pulled her towards him. She gasped at his roughness and it killed that one soft
spot left in his heart to make her hurt. But damn it, the image of the two of
them lying in bed, hand in hand, about to do what the gods only knew was
burning a hole right through the middle of him. When these blinding rages had
started to take him over, Piers had initially fought them. He didn’t want Reece
to see that side of him and he definitely didn’t want her to see the internal
battle he was going through just to keep the rages at bay. But Piers had
decided to stop fighting the urge to hurt. Hurting others felt good, felt
delicious. It satisfied a part of him even Reece couldn’t touch. And he was
starting to get greedy with that feeling. Holding his tiny woman close enough
to him to run his nose along her jaw if he wanted, he held those tiny wrists of
hers and squeezed, liking the whimper that escaped her lips. Piers knew it was
only a matter of seconds until he goaded Nate enough to react and he was right.
Nate rushed in between them and shoved Piers back, wrenching Reece out of his
grasp. Now’s the time, he told the inner beast inside of himself. Piers charged
Nate ready to relish in the ass kicking that Nate had been asking for this
whole time. Piers raised his fist and then it was as if he ran head on into a
brick wall. He bounced back and tried again but couldn't move another inch
forward.
Reece watched wide-eyed as her spell came to
fruition. Piers looked shocked, and then confused. His eyebrows drew close
together. He stepped back a step and then tried again. His coal black eyes flew
to Reece knowingly.
“You didn't!” he shouted in disbelief.
“You gave me no choice,” she said folding
her arms in front of her chest. His face crumpled and Reece had to bite her
tongue to stop her from going to him.
“You...I can't believe it. You betrayed me
Reece.” Tears filled his eyes and spilled onto his cheeks.
“I didn't Piers. Please listen,” she began.
“No!” he shouted. “You've chosen whose side you want to be on.” Then, he practically ran out of the room.
