A new mate

Misty and Kason ripped the doors to the cells open. Seeing an opportunity, people rushed out, heading as fast as they could for the exit. In the chaos of it all, the priestess was nowhere to be found. Misty cursed under her breath. She wanted to know more about her intentions and the Cixin Syndicate.

In the last cell was a young woman who had a tiny baby in her arms. Misty scowled at how emaciated mother and child were as she led her out of the cell. The Cixin Syndicate was too cruel. No one deserved to be treated this way. She would ask Jay and his family when she saw them again for more information.

"Misty!" She whipped her head around. Jay stood in the entrance of the corridor. Misty eyes stung as she suppressed her tears. She ran over and jumped into his arms. He clung to her as if she could disappear in a moment. His lips sought hers and ravaged her mouth. She could barely breathe, and she clung to him to keep from falling as her knees became weak.
