Samuel and I turned around just in time to see Soren by the door, his eyes red with fury as he stared at Samuel's hand, which still rested on the top of my head.
He crossed the room immediately, practically ripping Samuel's hand off of me while pulling me into his embrace. I stumbled as a result of the sudden motion, the palms of my hands pressed against Soren's chest for support.
"Get your hands off of her," Soren growled.
Tucked right under his chin, when I looked up, I could see that his canines had slightly elongated due to his anger. Similarly, it was unsurprising to see that his eyes were basically pulsing with a golden glow, and his veins throbbed under the skin of his neck.
