Sera was still frowning up at Kael when she heard it.
Horses!
Their hooves were thundering across the ground, making her aware that there were several of them approaching.
Sera stiffened instantly and, for a split second, wondered if she should hide her demon fiancé or not. But then she remembered that the law didn't include him, since humans had needed him to deal with overpowered, outraged, berserker demons…
So she relaxed.
If only ever so slightly…
While she couldn't really be mad at Leo for acting the way he did – she knew he was a good guy at heart – she would always remember the kind of power he held over her. After all, ultimately, it had been Leo who had sentenced her to that cell in her first life. And try as she might---
She would never forget that!
