Never Keep (Sins of the Zodiac #1)

CHAPTER NINE

T he earth was still trembling with the aftershocks of the impact of where Ironwraith had struck Castelorain, crushing part of my town. A flurry of terror and panic had cried out from my people and my heart twisted with the destruction besieging my homeland. But despite the disorder ripping the air in two with the magnitude of what had just happened, I still didn’t turn my eyes from the man I was intent on laying to ruin.

“You’d better kill me now or I’ll hunt you for the rest of your days,” I snarled at the Flamebringer who had killed my mother.

After he’d gotten apparently bored of parrying my attacks on his legs, ankle and a few sharp jabs at his cock, my enemy had taken his boot off my chest to observe Ironwraith falling from the sky and slamming into Avanis across The Crux before striking the edge of Castelorain too. I’d gained my feet and forced his attention back on me even when the ground had quaked from the violent impact. We had been in a back and forth since of me striking while he lazily parried my blows, barely offering me the courtesy of looking at me as his gaze trailed to his friend, North, and Harlon’s fight. I couldn’t spare a moment of my attention to them, leaping from the snowy ground again and stabbing straight for my enemy’s chest.
