In one swift motion, he caught her by the neck, his grip unyielding. Lara snarled and thrashed, but Killian’s strength was overwhelming.

“You foolish, useless wolf,” Killian growled, his voice dripping with disdain. “You think you can defy me and live?”

With a cruel smile, he threw Lara against a nearby tree, the impact shaking the ground beneath us. Pain tore through me as I felt every blow she endured.

Lara tried to stand, but Killian’s foot pressed down on her, pinning her to the ground.

“You’ll learn your place,” he hissed. “Both of you.”

My body began to shift again, the pain unbearable as Lara was forced back, and I returned to my human form. Lying on the ground, broken and bleeding, I looked up at him with all the hatred I could muster.

“I hate you,” I whispered, my voice barely audible.

Killian’s expression didn’t change.

And then, darkness consumed me.

Chapter Twenty-Five: A Dinner of Game

The dining hall was quiet, the only sounds coming from the soft clinking of utensils against plates.

It was already night, and dinner was being served.

I sat between Killian and Keal, but I barely spoke.

Wasn't in a good way to speak or even have time to say anything.

Not when Scarlett was sitting across from me, far too close to Keal, practically leaning into him, laughing at things he wasn't even responding to.

Keal, to his credit, ignored her completely.

He focused on his food, his posture stiff, his expression unreadable.

It was like her present was getting him angry by each second.

Killian, on the other hand, looked mildly amused, watching Scarlett's desperate attempts to get Keal's attention.

I just ate silently, refusing to give Scarlett the satisfaction of a reaction she wanted.
