          She felt an uneasy tremor take hold. It rendered her immobile, seizing her sound and mind, anchoring her stagnant with a shameful, paralyzing fear.

        Her chest ached something hollow and her hands began to quiver with it. She felt depleted, a mere shell of her once happy self, a self that proved non-existent.

       Darkness enveloped her, confining her to the evil that lurked. She spun wildly, turning every which direction, seeking the light she so desperately yearned. Not a sound roused, nothing of which to forewarn her of that impending danger that now loomed from the everlasting obscurity.

      Danny was coming - she felt it in her bones.

      And suddenly he was there, peering with all hells fury.

     A gust of wind struck her unexpectedly as if prompted by that fiery rage glinting so sinisterly in those black eyes. She felt it tugging, pulling at her hair as it whipped fiercely about her face in a tangled array.

     She collapsed, falling to her knees with a sudden echoing cry. Her hands splayed the cold floor beneath her, grappling with the urgency to get to her feet.

     Her eyes peered beseechingly, catching the wry grin that distinguished his underlining cruelty. But as suddenly as it appeared it vanished, placed with a heinous scowl as that granite stare fixed intensely on something beyond her.

     Kate turned and felt that darkness shudder with another ominous presence.

     She felt that heated, gray stare before he emerged, his tawny hair pulled taut to accentuate the chiseled lines of his face and that hardened curve of his jaw.

     Her heart jolted at the sight of him. He stood immense, a formidable figure against the blackness, all muscle and suppressed rage. She felt his fury just beneath the surface and it radiated a current so deadly that it robbed her solely of every breath.

     She was riveted to the floor; incapable of moving, realizing she was trapped between the two.

     She felt tears burning at the backs of her eyes as she sought an escape. She had to get away! They would surely be her ruin.

     The perilous air thickened with the masculinity that mastered it.

     She cast a fearful gaze upon Ronan and felt her blood run cold. His eyes had changed, they were no longer that piercing gray but illuminating silver tinged of a malevolent red. Her mouth went slack, watching as a transformation came over him.

     His massive, broad shoulders bowed, his muscles constricting as if seized by an unimaginable pain. His throat thickened and the veins began to protrude.

     Kate pushed up on her hunches, watching in a horrified trance at whatever monstrosity came over him.

     For a moment their eyes locked and Kate was snared in that heady, silver stare.

     "Beast!" Danny proclaimed his words laced of a trembling menace.

     Her heart hitched as she scrambled to move, but the suddenness of a growl so inhuman resounded, riveting her frozen.

     "She's mine!" Ronan roared his voice fastened between something feral and fragment of human. His eyes dulled of their silver, beaming a sudden vivid red. His fingers splayed with elongated claws.
