"We're under attack!"
"Evacuate the outer city district now!"
My eyes shot right open when I heard the shouts and yells piercing through the night outside the manor.
I was cuddled close to Kaelos who had his arms wrapped around my naked body in bed. But the second I heard those panicked voices, I shifted under his hold.
He woke up as well, sitting up and barely withdrawing his hands from me.
"An attack?" He asked, his eyes dimmed as he turned his head around the room.
I parted my lips to say something when suddenly, it happened.
BOOM!
A powerful explosion rocked the building, causing dust and debris to rain from the ceiling.
I gasped when the dust hit my nose, covering my eyes while Kaelos shielded me with his body.
When the dust cleared and the building stopped shaking, we both exchanged a knowing glance.
"Magic," I whispered and he nodded, getting off the bed and grabbing his shirt.
