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 Thirty-Four: The Past and the Present

Jack's dark eyes held mine for a moment too long, his presence stirring up memories I had long buried.

I didn't believe I would see him again. It had been long and now here he was standing in front of me.

I nodded, acknowledging his words, and turned to leave.

But before I could take another step, his hand caught my wrist, stopping me.

His touch was warm, familiar, yet foreign at the same time.

It still felt like the way I remember the way he held me the first time I met him.

"What are you doing here, Nora?" he asked, his voice laced with something unreadable.

I hesitated, then slowly pulled my hand away.

"I was just passing through," I said lightly, forcing a small smile. " I didn't know I would see you here."

Jack's expression didn't change. He studied me carefully, as if trying to figure out if I was lying.
