Chapter 35

Trisha’s P.O.V:

For an instant, the world stood still.

I could feel the heat of the fire scorch my skin. I could hear Lucas’s voice as he yelled my name. Through my closed eyes, I could see the light that the flames cast in every direction. What I couldn’t feel however, was the excruciating pain that came with being burned alive by Damien’s fire.

Startled into opening my eyes, I looked right at Damien as he stood facing me. His eyes held relief…and pain. He was covered in blood from head to toe, but his hands were regenerating slower than I’d thought it would. I could still see the white of his bones as muscles and tendons made their slow journey around the bones, trying to knead it back in the way it used to be.
