Chapter 106

Dylan POV

The pain that shot through me at King Josh’s anger was intense, and the entire room went silent because of it.

Blood quickly began to trickle from my hand onto the table cloth, and my breath halted completely as I tried not to scream out. My right fist slammed onto the table loudly, and only a single time as an immediate reaction to the pain, my eyebrows furrowed in agony and my lips parted, but no sound escaped me. I’d stopped breathing entirely as I tried to focus on getting used to the new sensation of torment, my face must have been extremely red, and a small sound came from me as 1 forced myself to breathe in.

I grasped the steel handle and pulled it out with the strongest pull I could muster. It flew out of my flesh and clattered on the table as my face scrunched up even mare in torture from the sensation. Instantly the bleeding got worse and began to pour out of the wound. I pulled my hand into my chest, applying pressure by wrapping my good hand around it, only now my right hand was covered in blood too.
