Avery is heart pounded in her chest as she turned to face Julian is guards . They were armed and armored , with faces full of determination .
Ryker stepped forward , his eyes flashing with anger . " You will never take her ," he growled , his hand on the hilt of his sword .
Lyra stood beside him , her eyes blazing with defiance . " We will not let you have her ," she said , her hand on the dagger at the belt .
Avery felt a surge of gratitude towards Ryker and Lyra . They were risking their lives to protect her .
But Julian is guards were many on top of that they were well - trained . They charged forward their swords clashing with Rykers and Lyras .
Avery knew she had to act fast . She turned towards the portal with her heart pounding in her chest . The light is energy calling to her .
But as she reached out to touch the portal , Julian appeared out of nowhere his eyes full of furry . " You will never leave me ," he snarled as he grabbed her wrist .
Avery struggled to free herself , but Julian is grip was too strong . She was trapped .
Ryker and Lyra fought intensely but they were outnumbered . Avery knew they could not hold out for much longer .
Just when it seemed like all was lost a figure appeared out of the trees . It was Kael , his eyes full of furry .
" Let her go ," he said , with one hand on his sword .
Julian is eyes narrowed , but he did not release Avery . " You will never take her from me , " he rebuked .
Kael charged forward , his sword clashing with Julians . Avery was caught in the middle , her heart pounding in her chest .
Would Kael be able to defeat Julian and save her or would Julian is guards overpower them ?
