Lorraine's POV
The hand pulled back.
Just like that, it retracted from Selene's chest, slipping out with a sickening shlurp sound. The bloodied organ, her heart, was still clutched in his claws.
Then he let it fall.
It landed with a wet splatter on the dirt.
Selene's body crumpled like a broken puppet, lifeless, her eyes still wide in stunned disbelief.
I couldn't breathe. Not from fear this time, but pain, raw, agonizing pain radiating from the gaping wound in my chest. Her claws hadn't reached my heart, but they'd gotten damn close. I could feel the blood pumping out, hot and fast, soaking my shirt. My body swayed.
Then I saw him.
Kieran.
