“Let her go, Pax,” Cain said. Even though the words were benign, there was something about his voice that was dark and domineering. There was a subtle threat in it, as if it didn't matter if they let me go. I wouldn't be able to run far enough to escape. Pax turned his head and pressed a quick kiss to my temple. I wanted to push him away, but he was already laughing and letting me go. “Thanks for the snuggles, Aurora,” he said, patting my shoulders as he released me.
