Chapter 250

THE GOUGED OPEN WOUND ON his chest finally healed and Alek struggled to sit up, spotting Cat lying close to the energy trap with Jenviet stalking across the floor. With his energy humming, he reached out via their link. Cat, watch out, she's nearly on you.

I know.

He watched as she climbed to her feet, still doubled over. Slowly, Cat straightened up and stared defiantly at Jenviet. A dark red glow spread from the centre of her chest. Molten flames moved beneath the pale skin of her throat, spreading over her face and her hair transformed into a mass of flaming tendrils. A moment later and she no longer resembled Cat at all. Now the Fire Elemental stood there, red eyes burning. The form was female but the voice that spoke had no sex, an ancient voice that rumbled through the room.

'DeNaga,' it snarled. 'Your desperate desire for power makes you unworthy.'

Al.

He jolted in surprise at her voice in his mind while he gaped at the fire creature berating Jenviet.

Cat?!
