Everything happened so fast. Zia had been relentlessly attacking Nero, and I tried to hold her back before she hurt herself. Something odd was happening, but I couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Our relationship with Nero had been rocky at best. We started on the wrong foot, and there were many times that his actions angered my wolf. I didn't regret punching him one bit back at Zia's party. If anything else, I thought that would just make us even.
