Chapter 439
Tyler discarded Kai in a bloody, misshapen heap and turned to Katelina. As if the spell had been broken, Katelina jerked upright and charged him with a cry. Catya flinched in surprise. Katelina felt a momentary pull, like something was trying to drag her down. She shook it off and slammed into Tyler with enough force to send him sprawling. She thoughtlessly smashed her fist into his face again and again, screaming a string of obscenities.
Catya dragged her off, kicking and swinging. Katelina twisted in her arms and kicked her in the knee. Before she could get loose, Arlen came around the corner, his bloody sword aloft. "How many of you does it take to subdue a human?"
"She's resistant," Catya snapped.
Katelina stared at the newcomer. Where was Verchiel? Arlen's bloody blade told a story she didn't want to hear. No. He couldn't be dead.
