A Dorm With My Alpha Mate
Kai’s POV
The world was pain and motion, Malrick’s fist crashing into my ribs again. I felt a crack, a hot blossom of agony, and threw my own punch, catching his jaw. He staggered back, his icy eyes wide with fury—we were two animals, tearing at each other in the moss.
I could not feel her; my soul kept reaching, a blind man grasping at empty air. But my eyes could see: I saw her break free, I saw Luma run to help the cadets, I saw Aria pick up a stone and run toward us.
