Spectra was yanked abruptly backward. Slender fingers, long as roots, wound around a new pair of arms. The edge of her severely angled shoe caught the floor and her weight buckled. Fur flushed across her jaw, and her fingers dug further for support. Dems, and someone altogether new, lifted her from certain fall and sprain. Her ankles were strong from a lifetime in perilous heels.
What fear tensed her bones rigid now hissed as the rage of sunlight poured through her soul. The snarl that pulled her lips back was venomous, but the poison slid across the newcomer and impaled itself into Dems.
He immediately released her and stepped away. His brooding, muscled flesh quivered beneath Spectra's silent accusation. She held the coat closed with one hand. She'd not raise the other against him, if only to save her palm the slap of pain. Instead, power whipped out and branded the flatness of iron against his cheek.
He yelled and spun away, holding his face. He hurried off the bridge without looking back.
Spectra turned to the second of the two men, judging whether or not he was partially to blame.
Her voice shattered the air like a crowbar taken to glass. "Something else to say?"
