Chapter 246: Were on the Same Team, Part 2
Without thinking, I scrambled out of the truck. "I'm fine," I said. "See?" I held my arms out. "Still very much alive."
Trent whipped around, eyes inky black puddles, his face tight with anger.
My heart beat a hard, terrified rhythm, and I approached him slowly. He blinked, but his eyes were still black. I drew in a shaky breath and touched his hand. He uncurled his fist and threaded our fingers.
Ivy smiled and lowered her hands. "It's good to see you again, Chloe."
"Now that you know she's alive, you can leave," Trent said.
"I'm afraid I can't do that." She shook her head and took a few steps forward.
Trent growled and guided me behind him, his hold on my hand tightening. "You're not taking her."
Ivy chuckled, and Trent growled even louder. "I told you. I'm not here to harm her or kidnap her," she said.
"Then why are you here?" I asked, my voice wavering.
