He summoned a wall of wind around himself and Vik, Hunt no doubt doing the same, as Bryce shot out of her chair and flipped the table. It soared over Viktoria’s head and slammed into the observation window.
A feral growl filled the room as she grabbed the chair she’d been sitting on, hurling it against the wall, so hard its metal frame dented and crumpled.
She vomited all over the floor. If his power hadn’t been around Viktoria, it would have showered her absurdly expensive bespoke heels.
The audio finally cut off when the hall camera went on the fritz again—and stayed that way.
Bryce panted, staring at her mess. Then fell to her knees in it.
She puked again. And again. And then curled over her knees, her silky hair falling into the vomit as she rocked herself in the stunned silence.
She was half-Fae, assessed at a power level barely on the grid. What she’d just done to the table and chair … Pure, physical rage. Even the most aloof of the Fae couldn’t halt an eruption of primal wrath when it overtook them.
Unfazed, Hunt approached her, his gray wings high to avoid dragging through the vomit.
“Hey.” Hunt knelt at Bryce’s side. He reached for her shoulder, but lowered his hand. How many people ever saw the hands of the Umbra Mortis reach for them with no hint of violence?
Hunt nodded toward the destroyed table and chair. “Impressive.”
Bryce bowed farther over herself, her tan fingers near-white as they dug into her back hard enough to bruise. Her voice was a broken rasp. “I want to go home.”
Hunt’s dark eyes flickered. But he said nothing more.
Viktoria, frowning at the mess, slipped away to find someone to clean it.
Isaiah said, “You can’t go home, I’m afraid. It’s an active crime scene.” And it was so wrecked that even if they scrubbed it with bleach, no Vanir would be able to walk in and not scent the slaughter. “It’s not safe for you to return until we’ve found who did this. And why they did it.”
Then Bryce breathed, “Does S-Sabine—”
“Yes,” Isaiah said gently. “Everyone who was in Danika’s life has been notified.”
The entire world would know in a few hours.
Still kneeling beside her, Hunt said roughly, “We can move you to a room with a cot and a bathroom. Get you some clothes.”
Her dress was so torn that most of her skin was on display, a rip along the waist revealing the hint of a dark tattoo down her back. He’d seen whores in the Meat Market wearing more modest clothes.
