    A nice start. :) My thoughts going through: "Pain seared across Alec’s palm, a brilliant light filled his vision." I think maybe more than a comma should separate these phrases... ...

    Lots of potential here, I think. :) My thoughts going through: "-Removed-" This line seemed a bit odd to me. If I were you, I'd axe the 'What, is she ...
