Just when I thought my life would flash before my eyes, my husband came in clutch with the perfect timing.
Kaelos was by my side in a second, raising his hands to the sky as the large ball of flames hurtled toward me.
'Cover your eyes!' he yelled through the mate bond and I did just that, keeping the force shield spell I had on the human woman and her children active.
And then—
BOOM!
A large explosion sounded, so deafening that the mere thought of opening my eyes again was terrifying. I felt a rush of wind that made strands of my hair blow around my face.
When the noise of the explosion faded, I willed myself to open my eyes and was stunned by what I saw.
Kaelos had used his silver energy to create a thick force bubble several meters in radius around us.
His fangs were bared, his shoulder-length hair whipping around him as the flames left behind by the explosion outside slowly died down into nothingness.
"Are you okay?" He glanced at me and asked, his silver eyes softening.
