The Artistry of Love (Alien SciFi Romance) (Celestial Mates Book 2) by C.J. Scarlett (27)

~Jives~

I’m so happy I didn’t leave the room.

I went towards the exit, but I had a bad feeling about this. I stayed back, much to my relief, for I knew that Brad wasn’t going to make this easy. They fought, and I was right. He was of a different world, a different caliber, and she seemed to be struggling. I wanted to help her, but I wanted to see how this would play out first.

The two of them were squaring off, and she held her ground well. Then, Brad changed, and it was obvious what she had to do now. He attacked her, holding her there, and I immediately felt my body spring into action. I wasn’t going to let this guy kill her.

I rushed in, seeing his hand straight up against her throat, holding her there against the wall. Her lifeless body was suspended, and I felt fear start to loom over my own body. I didn’t want her to die. That was the last thing I wanted. I rushed over there, looking straight at them, and that’s when I did it.

I grabbed him, holding him tightly and throwing him against the wall. She fell to the ground with a thud, sputtering and coughing. She looked up at me, slightly annoyed by my presence.

“I thought you left,” she stated.

“I did, but I had a bad feeling about this. It’s a good thing that I didn’t though,” I told her with a smile on my face.

She seemed slightly frustrated that I didn’t leave. Maybe it was because she didn’t think that I’d stick around and actually help. I rushed into there, fighting Brad with all of my strength.

He got up shortly after, and soon, both of us glared at one another.

“I’m going to kill you for what you just did,” he said to me.

“I’d love to see you try,” I told him with a smile.

Both of us lunged at one another, attacking without any stops or boundaries. I started to move my hands up, swatting at the other man, and he did the same. He then grasped my hands, pulling me there and throwing me down.

I underestimated him. He was using his power. But it wasn’t a pure form, not like mine. He was a lab rat, and this was the product of it.

I got up, holding my arms. I started to transform, changing into the monstrous creature that I was. Brad looked at me, changing as well, but his form wasn’t pure, nor was it something that looked completely enjoyable. He looked like he was struggling to even maintain it. I lunged at him, purple energy starting to form, and soon, I punched him square in the stomach with it. He grimaced, crying out loud as he started to fall back. I started to move my hands up, hitting him with every single motion that I could. I wouldn’t stand for this bastard hurting her, that’s for sure. I began to swat at him, pushing my hands up, and he did the same.

The two of us were fighting, not stopping at all. I continued to push my hands towards him, kicking and hitting him. Tracey did manage to finally get up, looking at the sight.

I could tell what she wanted to do. She wanted to kill him. She wanted to deliver the final blow, which was totally okay with me. I looked at her, and she marched on over. I pushed my hands against his throat.

“Well, any last words?” I asked Brad.

“You’ll… never win,” he told me.

“That’s what you think,” I said.

“You’re stupider than I thought you were. You haven’t realized that regardless of what you do there will be a war? You’re pathetic,” he said.

“That may be, but I know that my father is the culprit behind most of this, and the last thing I want is for him to go unpunished,” I said to him.

“You’re a goddamn fool then. I’ve heard about you. The professor told me all about you. How you’re the bastard son, how your mother was a whore, how you were a failure of an experiment. It’s comical to hear all of this, and the fact that I got to meet you before I died makes it so much better,” he said to me.

I shook with anger, but then, Tracey stepped in.

“It’s over, Brad. You’ve not only hurt me, but others as well. I’m done,” she said to him.

“That’s cute, Tracey. Good to see you’re sucking alien dick now. I’m surprised. I thought you’d keep your legs closed,” he told her.

I shook with anger, but then Tracey grasped my hand, holding it over his heart.

“Just because I love this person doesn’t mean I’m a whore. I’ve learned what love is, how to accept others, and everything in between. I know that this might seem wrong to you, and you might think I’m bad, but you were the one that hurt me first. You’re the one that started this whole mess, and I’m going to say right now, this isn’t just for me, or for Jives. This is for everyone, everyone who’s been hurt by your bullshit. I’m not holding back anymore,” she said.

With a cry, she dug her hand straight against his throat. She then took mine, which was filled with power, and pushed it there as well, shocking the other man. The burn that was there on his throat made me almost cringe, but when she pulled back, she looked at me, smiling.

“Let’s finish this,” she said.

I got up, took her hand, and the two of us continued to the place where I didn’t want to go, but I knew that I had to be in.
