One Second (Seven Series book 7)
“Charlie seized the woman’s arm, and she convulsed when his Mage energy knocked her out. She landed on the sidewalk in a heap of pathetic limbs. Dead? I didn’t know.
I didn’t care.
My heart rose to my throat—I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t even hear Atticus fighting the wolves anymore because my blood was pulsing in my ears. Hot tears stung my eyes, and a grievous pain rooted in the center of my chest. I’d always imagined losing April to cancer or old age, but never this.
Not like this.
A wail poured out of my mouth that came straight from the darkest part of my soul. Unable to see through my tears, I stumbled forward.
Charlie was hovering over her so that all I could see were her black boots and leggings. A bluish glow emanated from in front of him, enough that it tinted the dark asphalt.
“Is she—”
“Don’t touch me!” he bellowed. “Don’t touch her.”
I walked around to the other side, and that’s when I got the full view of April gasping for air.
