Chapter Thirty Seven

I felt no pain, and it was strange; I had just been shot, right?

There was a loud thud as a body fell right beside me.

During their little arguments, someone had walked in; they hadn’t been quick enough to notice it. But it was the last person I expected to see.

Beatrix.

Behind her, Thane and Axel walked in; their eyes were coal black, and their gaze never met mine, but I could see the anger and fury in them.

“Axel, take her away,” Thane ordered, and Axel finally turned to me; he picked me up easily and led me away from our room.
