Wasp ignored the boy, clenching her fists to get ready to deal with Eckhart. Feeling a strange sensation in her stomach, she whirled around to see the boy with his hand clutched in the air and tears threatening to spill.
"Are you jok-"
She suddenly doubled over in pain, landing on her knees and one hand while holding her stomach with the other hand. Wasp glared up at the boy with a sudden fire in her eyes. She felt herself start shaking involuntarily, then turned to the side, vomiting and coughing violently. Her arm gave out from her body's reaction to the boy's magic, and she fell to her side, propped up slightly on her elbow.
The assassin looked at Eckhart, then back to the newcomer. Once again, she started vomiting, and for the first time in her life, she realized she wasn't the alpha present.
The amplified screech of an eagle echoed, a massive shadow getting smaller as it got closer to the ground. A large creature dove toward them, sunlight reflecting from the pure white wings. Before the gryphon landed, an unarmed man leapt onto the ground with his hand extended to the boy. "Stop," Teryn said with wide eyes. "Please, stop. You're killing her."
Blexoir touched the ground, tucking his wings to his body. The gryphon looked at Taiga's shocked expression and the young man on the ground, immediately recognizing the cat's intelligence. "Do you need help?" He asked Bella telepathically.
