Natalie~
I didn't think. I didn't breathe. I simply moved.
The second I lunged at Nathan, Jasmine surged through me with a savage, gleeful roar. I could have ended this with a flick of my magic, could have reduced him to nothing in a single breath. But where was the satisfaction in that? He deserved to feel every ounce of pain Zane and his father carried. The pain I felt now. He deserved to know my strength beyond the power that frightened him.
My fist connected with his face so hard I felt bone crack under my knuckles, and his head snapped sideways with a spray of blood and spit. The sound it made was like music to the rage coursing through me.
He staggered back, but before he could recover, I grabbed him by the throat, slamming him into the marble wall with enough force to send spiderweb cracks racing across it.
