I saw fucking red.
Rage bubbled up inside of me, twisting my insides into something hot and angry. I'd known Henry was a bold mother fucker, after all, I had my own history with him. However, I didn't think he was suicidal as well because that was the only explanation as to why he had his arms around my mate and his lips on hers.
A growl rumbled through my chest and I stalked forward but before I could even make it halfway across the room to them, a sound of pure indignation left Nyssa's lips.
With both hands, she shoved him off hard, causing him to stumble back a few steps and I watched in shock as she slapped him hard across the cheek, the sound echoing through the otherwise quiet room.
Behind me, Aria snickered and I couldn't help but smile as well.
Nyssa's chest was heaving with harsh breaths and a red mark bloomed on Henry's cheek from where she hit him. His jaw ticked in annoyance, but he didn't look deterred.
Fascinating.
