Chapter Twenty Three


    Corinna


    Within seconds Maria is flungs across the room so hard so that her body goes right through the newly


    repaired panes of ss that look out until the pouch scatterpletely, Dahlia stands protectively


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    clinging to small brte, daring any body toe near her.


    Mariaes sprinting towards her, I m my foot down until the feet of whosoever is holding me back


    at the same time that I throw my head back forcefully, grinnit when I make contact with someone''s face


    and hear bones shatter.


    Launching my body thoughtlessly, I shift mid air, my wolf colliding with maria''s blurry figure in an


    attempt to help Dahlia. My jaws mp down onto Maria''s left hand just before I rip it clean off her body,


    dropping it to the hard wood floor quickly as I go in for another attack only to have her remaining fist


    connect to my ribs.


    A loud whimper follows the sound of my ribs shattering, the silver hair vampire get ready to lodge her


    hand into my chest. "For my brother." She hisses. But before She can do anything she is thrown off of


    me. "Enough!" My mate''s voice thunders through the house. He kneels down beside me on the floor "


    Shift. " Hemanded softly.


    Trying to find his eyes, I huge when he refuse to look at me. Regardless of this, I do as I am asked i


    curl my naked body up, in an attempt to hide from the crowd of vampires around us. Phoenix runs up


    holding a fluffy nket, he tosses it to me Immediately. I send him a weak smile of thanks.


    Mkai doesn''t speak as he bites into his wrist and force it into my lips, I moan as I gulp down his


    blood forgetting about anyone but him until he rips his hand away from me, my face furrow as I look at


    him as he stands, realizing the pain of my ribs is now gone and I can breathe properly, I stand up, also


    keeping the nket to my skin tightly.


    "What is going on here?" Kai questions, seeming calm but ready to snap in a second. "I want to set this


    people fre....." I start immediately cut off.


    "Master Mkai" with all due respect, these are our y things and we are breaking no rule orws,


    this mutt, on the other hand----


    "Do Not..." Kai shout, but stop himself to take a deep breath." Do not refer my beloved as any such


    thing."


    Maria nods, "Very well, my apologies."


    "But you are right, Master Maria, you are breaking no rules orw, so you may ..."


    "Mal! Mal, please. "Dahlia cries" still clinging to the small human in her arms who looks absolute


    perified but somewhat calmer now that Dahlia strokes the back of her head gently.


    "Dahlia keep out of this, Kai warns.


    "Brother please, she ia my beloved. "She whisper, her blue eyes as pleading as her tone of voice.


    Kai freezes at the mention of his sister''s mate. His jaw clenches as he nods. "Very well."


    A rush of relief course through me but it''spletely shattered when my speaks. " Master Maria, you


    can do as you please with all the pets excluding my sister''s beloved.


    A wide sick grin take over Maria''s face as she watches me shake head in disbelief. Mkai begins to


    walk away leaving his siblings standing in shock but I chase after him, grabbing his hand. He stops


    moving but doesn''t turn to face me. "Kai please, you can''t just let this humans die. Did you see how


    many bodies are on the floor right now? " I cry.


    He scoffs, you shouldn''t have gotten involved. I could have done something about it if you didn''t attack


    a n corinna. Now if I save those people, it''s an insult on Maria and her people. My mouth drop open.


    " You are going to let her murder innocent humans in fear of insulting her?"


    He doesn''t respond.


    "I can''t believe you." I whisper. He pulls his hand out of my holds and continue walking through the


    crowd of vampires who parts, making room for him.


    "Coward!" I call after him, but he doesn''t acknowledge me.
