"What do you think you are doing!?" Damian snarled as he struggled against the wolfsbane chains that kept him tied up and powerless.
"What does it look like I am doing, Dog!? I am trying to save your furry ass. Now shut up, stop moving and let me work!" Karime whispered as she worked on finding the right key to unlock the chains.
"Why are you helping me, Leech!?" Damian bit out the whisper through his teeth, struggling with the sparks that he was feeling with the feel of her skin on his.
Karime stopped struggling with the lock and looked at Damian straight in the eyes and said, "Because your moon goddess and my blood goddess have a twisted sense of humor, My mate."
Damian's eyes opened wide and he stopped breathing. He looked deep into her silverish-blue eyes and felt a piece of his heart click into place.
Demere, his inner wolf, howled and growled, "Mine!" over and over again as he had heard him growl on the first day he saw her. Damian moaned and closed his eyes. When he opened them again Karime saw defeat in them and she felt like laughing out loud when he said,
"We are f****d!"
