Charis
Kael's roar shook the walls before I had time to blink.
He moved so fast I barely saw it. One second, he was beside me; the next, he was airborne, diving straight at Rhett with his fist already swinging.
The punch connected with Rhett's jaw with a sickening crack. The two of them collided with a crash so loud it rattled the vases on the dresser. Rhett stumbled backwards, hitting the wall hard but only for a second before grabbing Kael by the collar and slamming him against the wall.
"Kael, stop!" I screamed, moving towards them.
But Kael wasn't stopping. He grabbed Rhett by the shirt and threw another punch, this one catching Rhett in the ribs. I heard the breath whoosh out of Rhett's lungs.
Rhett recovered quickly. He shoved Kael back and swung his own punch, catching Kael across the cheekbone. Blood sprayed from Kael's split skin.
