Celeste's POV
*****
Luther moved, his figure like a blur of white light as he approached Caelum. My brother was still trying to hold off the blast of flames from Inari, which grew in intensity and heat.
Before Luther could take the opportunity to come for Caelum, I reacted, stretching out my right hand like a whip. A rope made of silver light appeared, shooting toward him in the nick of time.
As the rope wrapped around Luther, Caelum slipped away from the fire onslaught. He growled, claws sprouting from his fingers as he got on all fours.
He didn't shift into his wolf because he didn't need to. My brother bringing out his wolf in a fight like this would be overkill. His was almost as monstrous as our father's.
A swipe of his hand knocked back Inari until she rolled through the floor. But then another witch stepped forward, raising his hands. With a clench of his fists, chains emerged from the ground around Caelum.
