~Lisa's POV
I opened my eyes slowly. My head felt heavy, my chest tight, and for a moment I couldn't remember where I was. Then it all came rushing back, the sword, the assassin's eyes, Damon's voice filling the room like thunder, Kael and Rowan's fists flying, the sound of blood, the terror…
A soft groan escaped my lips as I tried to sit up. My body was weak, trembling.
"Lisa!" Damon's voice was the first I heard. His tone was sharp, urgent.
In an instant, all three of them, Damon, Rowan, and Kael, rushed towards me. Damon reached for my shoulders, Rowan and Kael for my arms.
"Don't move, lie down," Damon said firmly.
"You need to rest," Rowan added, his hands trying to steady me.
Kael leaned close, his voice softer than I expected. "You fainted. Stay still, Lisa. Let us…"
"Don't touch me!" I snapped, yanking my arms away from Rowan and Kael. My heart was still pounding too fast. My whole body shook. "Don't you dare touch me."
They froze, both of them staring at me.
