Chapter 35

“You’re all the same,” Lindsey said in a furious whisper, his breath hot on Nathan’s face and fangs glinting. “You’re just using him. Biding your time until you kill him too.”

“Lindsey…” Charis said again, softer this time but closer. “Please, if you’d only give this man a chance, you’d realize he doesn’t want to hurt us.”

“He won’thurt us,” Lindsey promised, though it sounded more like a threat.

“Lindsey.”

He started counting down the seconds to when he would be out, passed out and who knows what else afterwards. Therefore, it was almost more painful to suddenly be released, Nathan’s throat burning and his entire body sore as he fell straight to the ground.
