The Beast And The Blessed

Chapter 97

Ninety-Seven: Killian

Killian’s P.O.V.

My world stopped spinning momentarily as I felt her body collapse on top of mine, shielding me from the inevitable blow that would end my life. I expected it to be cold and dark as I entered the veil, but there was a sudden heat instead.

I opened my eyes and watched a large blue flame leave Natalie’s body, rolling off her like a wave. There was a loud collection of hissing and screams as the vampires stumbled to the ground, trying to extinguish the flames, but it was useless.

I had been encouraging Natalie to study and practice her magic. Still, she had only had a couple weeks between getting her powers and using them in battle.

So, I fought. I fought tooth and nail, prepared to fight to my death to save my people and my mate. I knew I was going down, and I made it my mission to take down as many of them as possible.

Natalie shouldn't have had to see it. I hated that she did.

I had hoped she would be strong enough to save herself, but I hadn't expected her to save me... to save everyone.

It took several minutes until the screaming stopped, and the field went silent.

I could only see the blue. The blue of her flames. The blue of the sky above me.

The poison was pumping through my veins rapidly, and I struggled to pull in my next breath.
