Luke smirked.

"Relax," he said, patting her shoulder.

"You're misunderstanding things."

Bella glared at him.

"MISUNDERSTANDING?!"

Luke sighed.

"Listen, I came here to save them."

The man's expression twisted.

"Save us?!" he spat.

"What kind of bullsh*t is that?!"

He angrily searched for his phone, muttering under his breath.

"That's it… I'm calling the police."

His hands scrambled through the bedsheets.

"SH*T!"

The man flung the burning phone across the room, barely saving himself.

His face turned pale.

"A mage…?"

His anger melted into fear.

His wife grabbed his arm, her voice shaking.

"Honey… what's going on? Why is a mage here?"

The man gritted his teeth, his face grim.

He turned to Luke.

"What the hell do you want from us?"
