Free Kasadya Hellhound Twisted by Karen Swart Page B

Hell,” I explained.
     
    “Why? What did you do to him?” Max asked as we started to take formation for the fight; Chax was in front, taking lead, with Nina and her team countering the same formation.
     
    “He didn’t understand the word no and continued touching me, so I fetched a sword and stabbed him,” I finished as Nina and her team transformed in a second, and two werewolves were heading straight for me.
     
    I transformed in a nanosecond and together Max and I engaged them. I grabbed Nina first, taking her snapping mouth out of the equation by punching it with all my force. She was up and back at me again in a split second. Crap, she got better at this. As she leapt towards me, I turned and sent my wings out hitting her in mid-air. Turning back, I moved to keep her down.
     
    As she landed on her back, I was on her hitting her like mad. “Still … haven’t … learned a th-thing,” she stuttered through it all. Confused, I just kept going. Suddenly I felt roots start to engulf me, and then tighten their hold on me, squeezing out the air.
     
    “Ben!” I yelled, trying to tear off the roots. I heard the light bomb go off behind me and suddenly the roots went slack. Getting back into action Nina was already missing. Okay, that’s it, no more nice Kas. Getting up I could see Max and Ryan were engaged with two werewolves.
     
    I stormed forward and grabbed the one out of Ryan’s grip, lifting it up into the air I grabbed whoever the werewolf may be and fell straight for the earth, werewolf beneath me. We hit the ground with a huge bang, and the werewolf was lights out. Right, one down, and one to go. Getting up, I could see pink and purple light all over the place. I turned and found Nanini and another light fae in the middle of a light war. Captivated, I watched as pink and purple lights hit each other, then burst away in tiny sparks. Wow, that’s kinda cool. Looking around I found Max and Ryan giving the last werewolf hell. Just as the werewolf would swipe, Max or Ryan would hit it back.
     
    I moved forward to assist and to get the last werewolf when the earth fae made her appearance again, wrapping my feet in roots. I was hit with a million thorns, the roots wrapping around me were covered in them. I covered my face in an attempt to spare it from the spikes, but I could feel the thorns digging in past my fur. Still struggling, I felt arms around me and tried to retaliate. “We have to work together, Kasadya,” Chax said behind me.
     
    “When I say now, I want you to push your wings out as hard as you can,” he explained, and I prepared myself. “Now!” he yelled. I whipped my wings out with such force that I was staggering back from it, thorns and roots ripped away around me. The earth fae came into view, just a few paces in front of me, still calling out more roots. Oh hell no! I moved fast and tackled her to the ground; we rolled around until I ended up pinning her face to the earth. It’s time out time for you, fae.
     
    Locking my arm around her tight, I locked down in a sleeper hold and held on for the ride as she tried to kick and fight her way out of it. Finally she stopped moving. I pushed her off me, and stood up. Looking around, I saw that the fight had ended with that last effort. Nina and her team were down and out. Oh yeah, I like this view. I walked over to the rest who were dusting themselves off and engaging in fight talks. “Well done, Godzilla. At least I didn’t have to save your butt this time,” Nanini rubbed in at Max who just regarded her in silence.
     
    “That was some hectic stuff,” Lotan pitched in, but Chax was not part of the group. Turning around I looked for him and found him helping up the earth fae I just sleep choked. Oh great, we are bathing in glory and he needs to play Mr Good and Responsible. Damn, I just hate him. Sighing, I rubbed off the blood from my face and hands and walked over to the first fallen still trying to get back up on his
