There was suddenly a white blinding light in front of us that spread throughout the entire room and I buried my head against his chest to shield against it.
A few seconds later the light died down and I opened my eyes the moment I felt Daemon's body stiffen. I tried to shift against his strong hold to get a better look but it was proving difficult to do with his strong grip.
