Macy POV
A car is waiting for us just outside of the forest. I gesture for Douglas to get in, but Destin slams the door. "I am not riding in a car with that."
"Wow. I never considered you to be a pussy," I tease. "He won't hurt anyone. He is under my control."
"How do we know that?"
I cross my arms over my chest and glare at him. "Just like the Gray Creatures of the Immortal Realm never attacked you out of respect for Arabella. He will not attack you out of respect for me."
"You don't get to speak her name," he hisses in a low voice.
Destin and I are at a standstill. Neither one of us is willing to back down. He has a misplaced hatred of Gray Creatures and refuses to trust them, but I created Douglas and will not leave him behind. He may be a deadly creature, but he needs my protection.
"We are wasting time," Alpha Charlie says, opening the door.
