The moment he finished confirming it, a strange sensation rushed through him.
Heat surged violently through his veins, spreading from his chest outward until every muscle, every inch of his body trembled faintly under its intensity.
His muscles tightened suddenly, his bones creaking faintly as though being reshaped from within.
The surge was overwhelming, yet familiar.
Damien clenched his teeth, his breath coming out rough.
A sharp shiver ran down his spine as power flowed through every nerve.
His heart pounded, hammering violently in his chest, each beat sending another wave of heat pulsing outward.
It was painful—his body screamed in discomfort as if rejecting the sudden surge of strength—but at the same time, it was intoxicatingly pleasurable.
The pain and pleasure mingled together into something strange, almost addictive.
