The world around us falls silent, the air thick with smoke and the acrid scent of burnt earth. My hands slowly lower, the glow fading from my fingers as the last of the enemy that hadn’t fallen, disappears into the forest.

I stand there, breathless, staring at my hands in disbelief. How had I done that? My entire body was trembling, not just from exhaustion, but from the weight of what had just happened.

Aodhan landed beside me, shifting back into his human form, his golden eyes still wide with wonder. For a moment, neither of us speak. We just stand there, the silence between us heavy with questions.

But even as the battle ended, I knew this was far from over. Whoever these wizards were, they weren’t going to stop until they had destroyed everything we were fighting for.

Aodhan looks at me, his gaze intense. “How did you do that?” he asks, his voice rough with exhaustion.

“I... I don’t know,” I admit, still staring at my hands. “I didn’t even know I could.”

He steps closer, his expression softening as he pulls me in for a kiss and I become very aware of the fact that he is completely naked. All three of them are so I keep my eyes glued to Aodhan.

“Please tell me you all have more clothes with you.” I whisper as I hear Falkor and Drago walking behind me.

They must hear what I’m saying as all of them start laughing.

“After you two get dressed and save my sweet wife’s gentle eyes, search the wounded for any we can take with us. Maybe we can get more answers from them.” Aodhan says to his friends who both immediately do as he tells them.

“I should get dressed.” He says just as I feel his cock hardening against my belly.

Arousal surges through me instantly and I feel a deep vibration in his chest.

“Are you purring?” I ask with a grin as he shakes his head at me and moves over to his horse from some fresh clothes.

“I’ll clear the bridge if you grab our horses and bring them across.” He says, ignoring my question. I giggle as he walks away, mumbling to himself and all I catch is: “I’ll show her purring later.”

Chapter 13

Aodhan

Some of the tensionin my shoulders seems to lift as we fully cross over into my homeland. The sight of Sky Castle in the distance, its stone walls reflecting the last light of the setting sun, brings with it a sense of home and familiarity that I’d missed.

I glance behind me at Vevina as we cross the final stretch. She looked exhausted but her gaze was sharp and observant despite everything we’d all been through.

I couldn’t stop thinking about the way she had saved me during the fight with the wizards, and how she had wielded that strange power that she hadn’t even known she possessed.
