Selena reached for her face with trembling hands and feeling the blood all over her facial features, her lips quivered, and she began to scream so much. She snatched Stella by the collar of her shirt and lifted her clawed hand to slap her back, however, she found herself unable to move, her wrist shrinking so painfully with each growing second.
"Valeric." Stella's blue eyes shifted to the man whose grip was crushing Selena's hand. And Selena herself shuddered as the scent hit her nose all too suddenly.
