Nikalas Greyson & Mallory Forbane His hands were shaking. Clenched into fists so tight, Nik could feel his nails tearing into his palms, the pain allowing him to focus past the burning desire to tear her heart from her chest. “Get. Out.” It was a growl. A warning. All he could manage, but she never took orders from without a fight and her blue eyes sparked with indignation that made him want to groan. She was stunning when she was angry, but if she didn’t listen to him... Nik had never faced the full power of his mothers’ curse. To kill that which you love. But the madness creeping into his mind now... “Oh no. I don’t know what ridiculous idea you’ve gotten into your head now, but I’m not—” Her gasp as he slammed her backwards nearly broke him. Fists crashing against the stone wall on either side of Mallory’s body was the only restraint he could summon. “For once in your life, could you listen to me?” he snarled. Begged. Snarled. This weak little human had brought him to his knees, and while there were any number of creatures he could protect her from, Nik couldn’t protect her from himself. “You idiot,” she muttered, and he snapped his gaze up from her booted feet in time to watch her roll her eyes. No fear. No disgust. Just exasperation. “Mallory...” he growled, but the woman silenced him with a kiss. Soft and light and unlike any kiss she’d bestowed on him before. “You won’t hurt me,” she promised, pulling back, and he could feel her power leaking out into the room as her eyes began to glow and the pull of the curse faded. “Magic won’t let you."
