Prologue
"Baby, go home. You don't want to see what I'm going to do to this jerk," he hissed, advancing angrily towards the man angrily and dangerous. “You too, little brother.”
The girl was in the corner, a large hand shaped welt spanning her small cheek, his brother close beside her.
"Don't.." She pleaded, tears trickling down her face as the place the man had slapped her began to sting. His brother held her and covered her eyes. She would not want to see this.
“Man, don’t, I-”
"I said, GO HOME!" He roared at her as she sank to the floor, sobbing. Growling, he stalked before the man, kicking, punching, slapping the man before leaving him in a bloody mess. "YOU SEE!? THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LAY A HAND ON MY GIRL!" He bellowed, pointing at the broken creature lying before him.
His face softened as he walked over to the pair, dropping to his knees and cradling her as she wept. his brother’s hands caressed her hair, magic fingers healing her wound with a gentle touch.
"Sang... Chase...” She whispered, her body wracked with her sobs.
"Baby?"
"He didn't just hit me..." She murmured, before fainting dead away in his arms.
