Chapter 73

“Ben, stop! Don’t—”

Benjamin wasn’t listening to Eric, though. He charged toward Iwan and wrapped his palm around Iwan’s neck. His eyes were incandescent with this eerie silverish glow as he pushed Iwan down onto his back on the floor. Iwan didn’t resist. Instead, he seemed amused. He also had this smug expression on his face, and Eric was tempted to punch Iwan so he could wipe it away.

“I’ll destroy you once and for all.”

Iwan sneered. “Then do it!”

Eric attempted to reach Benjamin and prevent his boyfriend from carrying out his threat, but he was unable to move in that direction because something was pushing against him. He banged his fists against the invisible wall or whatever it was that was blocking his path, but it wouldn’t budge.

“Ben!”

Benjamin turned toward Eric as his claws and fangs lengthened. “I need to do this.”

“No, you don’t. Come on, Ben. It’s not worth it. Ben, please!”

“Why not?” Benjamin asked while he continued to grow much larger.
