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
