"Ha ha ha, that panicked look on your face doesn't sit well with me. Not at all. If only I could frame that elegant expression from earlier—how wonderful that would be." Nyx suddenly laughed.

"You lunatic!" William roared, lifting his other hand toward Nyx's head. He had endured enough of her insane, ridiculous emotions. Now that he had explosive power, he would crush this woman's skull!
