Chapter 75 The Heat Of Survival

• BRIANA
• My body trembles from the heat burning inside me. It feels like flames are spreading through every inch of me, threatening to consume me whole. My mind is foggy, too hazy to understand exactly where Drake is taking me. The only thing I know for sure is that we’ve crossed out of Shadow Moon territory—because the sharp power that pressed on me at the border has vanished.
• “Hang on a little longer, Briana,” Drake’s deep voice cuts through the haze. His words are like an anchor, pulling me back for just a moment. I press my face against his neck, breathing in the refreshing mix of mint and vanilla that clings to his skin. That scent keeps the fire at bay, like cool water against a fever.
