Chapter 149

AARON

Death is near.

Liam swipes at my side and I punch him in the temple. The shot se nds him reeling and the satisfying crack as my fist fractures the bone is music to my ears. I keep swinging, punching and jabbing, with every bit of my Alpha strength

He’s gasping and sputtering, trying to heal as a wolf and shift back to a man.

But that’s not happening. Leah fired off at least four rounds

into him. Between those shots and the damage I’ve done…
