Ava by L.G.Savage (HeartBreak)

Chapter 116

“Of course you can, but only with me. It’s not safe! You’re not safe

“Not safe from who?”

He watched the stubborn tilt of her chin and the sudden anger in her eyes as she remained in front of Jared’s bedroom door. How the hell had things gone so wrong since this morning?

“What lies has that bastard been feeding you!” he growled.

The vampires during the summer break, for example, and the few rogues that had dared to stray over the boundaries of his pack lands. Then there was Claire, who he’d left in Jared’s backyard, and Jared’s Beta in the woods. He’d left those two alive, but he hadn’t seen them since. Did his bite do the same to them?
