"You should have let me leave, Ember," he said in such a low voice that she barely heard him speak.
As she looked into his eyes she realized that Donovan was gone and a demon was watching her like a predator in his place.
"Donovan, what is happening to you?" Ember gasped, a renewed wave of fear freezing her blood.
He pressed her against the wall once again, grabbed the hair on the top of her head, and with violent force yanked her head to the side, revealing the vulnerable skin of her neck.
"Stop!" Ember shouted, fighting against him.
But Donovan seemed to have no intention of stopping as he held her tightly. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him lowering his mouth to bite her. With a roar of fury, Ember threw up her knee and hit him in the stomach as hard as she could. Donovan grunted and loosened his grip on her ever so slightly.
