Awakening - Following Fate
I cover my head, shuddering in terror that my brain may self-implode and sag with relief when Colton’s sharp alpha tone hushes her assault.
“Carmen, stop screaming!” he commands harshly, and the instant relief leaves my ears ringing, my brain stuttering, and my body shivering as though I have been electrocuted with high voltage right on the temples. Carmen moves fast, heading straight for the devastation, screaming out ‘Mom’ as she runs at the mess around the ground before him. Her hysteria breaking loose and she’s no longer that mask wearing girl, but a blubbing mess of despair.
