A Fate So Cold

Chapter LI. Ellery

ELLERY

WINTER

Ellery bled. A gouge oozed from her left palm from when she’d fallen and braced herself.

Her shoulder throbbed where she’d slammed it, so much her arm quivered as she aimed Iskarius.

For all the power at her command, she was still human.

Her bones could still break. Her muscles could still give out. Her body could only take so much.

And yet each time the debris settled, the smoke cleared, she frantically searched for him.

It was a terror each time she spotted him. For all Domenic also bled and heaved and staggered, he still lived, still fought, his power as formidable as her own.

It was a relief, too.
