Chapter 99

"I advise you to choose your next words very carefully."

The silence that follows his question is deafening.

What happened at the apartment?

I don't breathe. Neither does Liam.

Enoch's gaze cuts through me like a goddamn guillotine, sharp and deadly. Forest green eyes, storming. Not angry. No-this is something else. Rabid. Untethered. The kind of rage that doesn't just burn, it devours.

I step between them instinctively. We can't go on like this.

"Let's talk somewhere else," I mutter, low and tight. My throat feels like I swallowed glass. Fuck it. "This isn't-this isn't the place."

Enoch doesn't fucking move.

His jaw flexes once. Twice. Then he tilts his head as though I just told him I'm pregnant with Liam's triplets.

"Why?" he murmurs, turning to me with the heat index of fucking Sahara. He props up his brows and a whisper that makes the hair on my arms rise. "You scared of what I'll do?"

Yes. No. Fuck, I don't even know anymore.

Liam would die if Enoch gets his hand on him.

My eyes flick to Liam. He looks as though he's ready to throw himself into traffic for the sake of diffusing this. You can't take him even if you call on every last of your family to fight, Liam.

Enoch, however-he's vibrating. I feel the shift in the air, the static, the damn storm winding up inside him. He's not just mad. He's unraveling.

And I'm afraid of where that might take us.

I swallow, moving closer to him again. "Just... not here. Please."

Still, nothing. Neither of them moves as they stare down at each other. Ready to punce when the other does. Fuck this isn't good.

No blinking. No shift. It's just that predator stillness-power and threat. His wolf is stirring inside of him. I can feel it. Eris can feel it.

And if he shifts? If he shifts here?

We're fucked. Liam's fucked. And the whole city's going to witness the Lycan King committing murder with claws. We already have one article we're dealing with. Goddess forbid we have to have another one down.

A sigh leaves my lips as I run my hands over my face, inching closer to him. "Just-fuck, Enoch. Please. I'll tell you everything inside." I called with exasperation.

Enoch's orbs turns to me, staring right into my soul and before I knew it, he tilts his head back, and he laughs. A single, sharp burst that has no goddamn humor in it but disbelief.
