CHAPTER 98

  Zale

  I twisted in mid-air to get my feet under me again and growling, I turned back to the fight. The black flames leaping into the air gave me pause. There weren't the flames of the hounds anymore, they were as corrupted as my mate was.

  Why had those creatures targeted Bo in the first place? I was going to have to lock him in a room stuffed with pillows at this point.

  Ares snapped at me, upset with my mind wandering. I jerked and raced back to the circle of fire that stretched taller than any tree we had. The flames were dark, almost solid in color and blocked out whatever was happening to Amanda in there.

  I couldn't jump them. I doubted I could bust my way in there too, but that's what I was about to try.

  The remaining wizards weren't cackling anymore. They were grouped in a pile, the ones that hadn't died yet, and wailed up at the sky. I had hoped that taking them down would have saved Bo from whatever disaster he'd stumbled into this time.
