Chapter 48

Pippa's POV

I watch in horror as Adrian hits the ground, not on his feet or back like Thespian and I did, but on his head.

The place where we landed is completely flattened. It looks as if someone dropped a bomb in the middle of the forest. The earth is scorched, trees levelled, and the underbrush is on fire. The smell of smoke and ozone hangs heavy in the air.

I’d be in awe of it all if it weren’t for Adrian’s still body lying only a few metres away from me.

I quickly shift back to human and rush over, Thespian by my side. He looks fine, better than he did when we were in the prison, but he’s still limping and moves far too slowly for my liking.

There’s no time to think about what we had managed to do, but in the back of my mind, I’m aware of the fact that I couldn’t have done it by myself. If it weren’t for Adrian’s aura combining with mine, we would never have been able to escape that prison.

Later, when I’m sure my mate is okay, I’ll take all the time I need to figure it all out,
