CHAPTER 153 Level Up

  ~ CASIMIR ~

  Moments later my sight cleared and I found myself laying on my back, staring up at the ceiling of the dungeon, my mouth agape and chest heaving as I tried to get my breath back. But I couldn't even think in full sentences yet.

  Jesse.

  Love.

  Power.

  Holy shit.

  "Cazz… what… what was that?" Jesse asked quietly from my right.

  Head spinning and heart hammering, I rolled over to find her curled on her side facing me, her face pale and eyes wide.

  "Shit. Are you okay?" I asked her hurriedly, combing her hair back from her face and pushing up on a shaky elbow and scanning her body for injuries or… something. I wasn't even sure what I thought I might see. All I knew was that I'd almost been swept away by that… that tidal wave of power. I didn't know how she'd survived it. And the panic in me when I realized she might have been hurt, or worse, lost…

  Everything in me shied away from the thought- and what it would mean.
