Her flat palm hitsdirectly in my sternum with so much strength, it whips me

“That's it Angel. Show him what being mated to at Guardian really looks like.”
She turns and looks at me, her chest heaving in her anger. | curl my fingers at her in a ‘cget me’ motion,
and holy hell does she. I've seen Cara spar, but it didn’t preparefor my little Guardian when she lets loose.
There's an obvious difference between Cara, who was born a Guardian and Angel, who is a reincarnated
Guardian. Angel's Guardian spirit has experience, knowledge, and pure grit. My girl is a fiend on the battlefield.
