The grand room of the Cullen house hums with a low, dangerous energy as allies gather, preparing for the coming storm. Kate Denali focuses her electric power on Bella first, the charge washing over the human with no effect. Then her sharp gaze cuts to me. Without a word, she releases a bolt of pure force. It hits like a physical blow, driving me to my knees, a searing shock locking my muscles. Through the white-hot pain, I manage to tilt my head up, catching her intense stare, and a ragged, admiring smirk twists my lips.
