"Oh, boy," she breathed "Queue the Raiders of the Lost Ark music"
"These aren’t Nazis, babe"
Wraith shoved Serena to the ground Silas de lies, they couldn’t bend easily, and if Serena remained flat--
She came to her feet and threw a punch at the Silas nearest her, knocking hiround Blood flowed from his broken nose Sant and efficient, and damn, the woman could handle herself He was relieved to see that her char blows, but she delivered the on the balls of her feet like a beautiful, untouchable Valkyrie He’d like to get her in a gym, where they could spar until he took her down to the mat and--
A kick to the kidney leveled Wraith He rolled and cauard, had been so busy adet taken That wouldn’t happen again
He leaped into the air, spun, took out two Silases with combination kicks to their heads Still, they swarruesohtered
There were high prices to be paid for human massacres, so whoever had hired these scum must either be extre worse, like the demon invasion Serena had talked about
Wraith took a crippling blow to the gut His muscles turned watery, and oh, fk, the da hi from the outside
A Silas kicked him in the head as Wraith doubled over Stars swaht hi backward and landed at an aard angle, its head wrenched a hundred and eighty degrees Serena stood there like a guardian angel, looking pretty damned proud of herself
Wraith would be proud of her too, except he was s and by the fact that he’d been rescued by a human A human female He was the one as supposed to do the hero shit
She leaped into action to take out another one, giving hiet back on his feet Another Silas caonized cry brought hiure A flash of the face beneath its hood told Wraith all he needed to know about the bastard’s identity
Byzaed her backward She clawed at thewildly
"Serena!" Wraith sprinted toward her, silently willing the deo He didn’t think about the fact that her charain He didn’t think about the fact that by turning his back on the Silas horde he was opening hih theblows He closed in on the deround, forced her to her hands and knees Still, she fought, swiping at hiroin Byzamoth snarled and punched her in the back of her head
Serena sagged bonelessly to the ground
Rage twisted into a vicious, gnarled knot in Wraith’s chest He dove for the other being, struck him in the back and knocked hi two rapid-fire kicks into the demon’s face Blood sprayed from his mashed nose, and then Byza the Temple of Hathor
"You are the one who is about to die," Byzaht off his too pretty face
But noasn’t the tihter in the upper- and underworld, but he wasn’t invincible, and he was beyond outnumbered
In a quick series ofByza to chop a Silas in the jaw As the two careened into other de stride Their only hope was to reach the Harrowgate, and even that depended on Serena reates
He ran hard, leaping ancient stone carvings and dodging spears and knives thrown by Silas warriors Serena’s charm now seemed to keep her safe; twice, demons tripped and fell on their oeapons as they tried to impale her with blades, and once, two spears collided in round
Ahead, the Harrowgate shimmered between two stone pillars of the Teuarded the entrance Behind Wraith, Byza to have to plow straight through the sentries
This was going to hurt
Sucking in a deep breath, he held Serena tight to his chest and shot across the expanse of land Head down, he rae figure of Horus carved deep into a column Wraith threw out one arm and ja howled in pain The other one slashed at Wraith with his long claws, catching him across the back of the neck Wraith stuate flashed, the shied Wraith punched it in the gut and dove into the Harrowgate He tapped the ate and wouldn’t allow anything else inside For now, they were safe<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7451196230453695" data-ad-slot="9930101810" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
