I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery.

"Why did you kidnap me?" she asked straight away. "You will be safer here than anywhere else," was his curt reply. "Why?" her voice hinted fear. "Do I count this as your second question?" he asked raising an eyebrow. "I don't mind telling, but you will be left only with--" "No," she cut him off, getting irritated. "I have better ones to ask." That worked, phew, he thought. "Why did you care to know what I thought about love? You don't seem like a kidnapper to me." "Not everyone is heartless. My job is my job. Treating you harshly isn't a part of it. Unlike others, I do have a conscience. You believe in love, that's why I wanted to know what you think about it," he completed. ~~~~~ Princess Kyrah is unaware that she can shift into a serpent.
