My head snapped toward her, and everything-the rage, the heat, the violent thrumming in my veins-came to a screeching halt.

My fingers, still sticky with blood, twitched at my sides.

She was shaking. Her body curled in on itself, arms clutching what was left of her dress. Her eyes brimmed with something I never wanted to see on her face.

"Kasmine,” I rasped, "Are you hurt?"

She hesitated, her body still trembling as she clutched at her torn dress. "No," she whispered. “I—I'm okay. I was just... scared." she couldn't look me in the eyes, and that was when I realized Zeth was still sharing partial control with me, and she was yet to get used to him no matter how hard I tried.
