Moments after questioning Ethan about the blackout and the aura of the Lightning Dragonfly he had evolved, Kaela suddenly burst forward.
The floor exploded beneath her feet.
Boom!
She crossed the room in an instant, but her target reacted through pure instinct.
'Partial Assimilation: Wolfy.'
Mana surged through Ethan's body.
Black fur raced across parts of his body as dense muscle swelled beneath his hoodie. His pupils narrowed into predatory slits, and in the blink of an eye, the transformation was complete.
Kaela's hand met his.
BOOM!
The collision sent a violent gust of wind blasting through the bar.
Tables rattled, glasses clinked, and several bottles behind the counter trembled violently. Mark instinctively ducked, praying his bar didn't get blown up after just being repaired. He also couldn't help but be annoyed about the damage to his floors already.
Not that he dared to voice it.
For a brief second, neither of them moved.
