Chapter 503: Bring Violet To My Side

What happened next was Ziva snapping. "No one threatens my father like that!"

Her magic rose, a blinding pulse of heat and light that slammed into Micah’s chest and hurled him to the floor. The impact stole his breath, pain lancing through his ribs as he groaned.

"That’s enough!" Angus thundered.

"But, Father—" Ziva started, her voice loud and indignant.
