Shadow Master (The Nightwatch Academy #4)

“Let’s grab some armor and see if we can modify it at the forge, eh?” He took my hand but stood on his own steam. “I guess it’s the only banging I’ll be doing for a while.” I stared at him in horror. Did he mean what I thought he meant? “What?” His brows shot up. “I’d fucking tear you in two like this.” We stared at each other for a long beat, and then his mouth twitched. Laughter bubbled up my throat, and then we were both laughing.

“She may not be in love with me yet, but she like-likes me, you know? I’d really like the chance to take that somewhere because …” He took a deep breath. “I’m fucking head-over-heels in love with her.”

“I would have loved you, Kash.” He gripped me tighter. “I fucking know.” And then a blinding light ripped the air in front of us, and furry paws reached for me. I caught the flash of gray eyes and the curl of a too-wide smile, and then the world shattered.
