Chapter 30
The first Abyss hunter moved without warning. He didn't run. He simply raised his hand, and black lightning exploded across the chamber, shooting forward like a living spear aimed straight at Ariana.
Kael reacted instantly. His wolf instincts moved faster than thought as he stepped in front of her and swung his arm forward. A burst of white energy collided with the incoming attack, and the impact shook the entire chamber. Stone cracked beneath their feet as dust rained down from above.
Kael slid back a step but held his ground. "Well," he muttered, rolling his shoulder slightly, "that was rude."
The Abyss hunter tilted his head, silver eyes glowing faintly with interest. "So the Storm Wolf protects the Sovereign."
Kael shrugged lightly. "Yeah. That's kind of the job."
