[ That Dark realm… continued]
Kieran slammed into Karl with another thunderous roar…
"You are still hitting me like a lovesick pup," Karl snarled, twisting, his elbow driving into Kieran's jaw. The impact lit Kieran's skull in white heat, sending him stumbling sideways.
Kieran spat blood into the black grass. "And you still fight like a fucking coward…Let Autumn go…don't be a pussy…hit me all you want…she has nothing to do with this…what happened between us…she wasn't even there in the picture…"
Karl's grin snapped into a snarl. "I learnt from the best ,big brother…and about big pictures…guess you don't know the whole story…"
He was on Kieran before the last syllable left his mouth…claws bursting from his fingers, raking across Kieran's ribs. The sound was wet, and Kieran's snarl turned into a half-growl, half-roar as the pain tore through him.
