Chapter 72: Temper, Temper

My first instinct was twofold, which goes a long way to show just how much I'd changed from the girl who knew she was a disaster waiting to happen. Side one wanted to beg his forgiveness and hang her head-for what, I wasn't exactly sure but it was clearly something huge because Seth never lost his temper with me. Never.

The other side? My chaotic and emotionally scrambled side? She snapped her head up with a resounding hell no while the dragon man before me pulled himself together. That didn't stop him from firmly grasping my bicep in his big hand and tugging me gently toward the doorway leading to the Mist realm. I walked without resistance at his side, the real battle going on within while Seth inhaled deeply before exhaling.

"I'm sorry," we both said at exactly the same time. I giggled, a nervous reaction, and he flashed his fangs at me in a dragon smile, sparks in his emerald eyes.
