Something thick pushes against my stomach and my body freezes, right before it jerks forward, successfully tearing Rafael off me. And my fist swings before I can stop it, slamming into his stupid face.
The blow catches his right eye and his head snaps right. My chest heaves from anger and exertion. "I do not assume wolves regenerate when they lose a limb. Want to find out? I dare you to touch me like that again."
Rafael rests back on his heel, wiping the blood off his mouth with a swipe of his thumb. He smiles fondly. "There you are." He cocks his head slightly, inhaling the air slightly. "I've missed the scent of you, Valka."
I make to push past him but he stops me with an arm to my chest, pushing me up against the wall. His eyes flash gold as he face stops inches from mine. "You came out here, all alone, hoping I would follow. Did you know when you were fucking the enemy that I felt every second of that pain?"
