When Klaus came to, he immediately apologized to Briar for his actions and excused himself.
He must have been out cold for a while because the sun had already set, and it was relatively late, but he didn't complain. The cool night breeze carried by the wind was refreshing against his skin, soothing his nerves and clearing his mind.
Lately, it felt like he had been losing control. First, he had severely injured Seraphim and sent her to the infirmary. Now, there was this incident with Briar.
Something was wrong. He was usually calm and composed, so this kind of behavior was completely out of character.
Was he… changing? Becoming more violent?
Klaus didn't want to believe that. It wasn't possible for someone to change overnight. The more plausible explanation was that the accumulated stress and anxiety had finally pushed him past his limit and clouded his judgment. That made sense. But still, it didn't explain what had happened during his fight with Seraphim.
