Chapter 142

Skylar

The need to prevent Aron from raping me in the future is too strong, and I jump over him while in my wolf form. He falls down on his back, eyes. widened with fear as his eyes meet mine.

At this time, he isn’t the cold–blooded person I met as a child, but a teenage boy who has not yet committed the atrocities of his future self. Still, my heart hardens at the sight of him, for I know the monster he will become.

“Skylar… that’s your name, right?” he whispers, eyes filled with terror and confusion. “Don’t kill me…”

Jinx’s pleas echo in my mind, but I push them away. This is my choice and my future I’m changing. I open my mouth, ready to tear him apart, but freeze when I hear Lucas‘ voice coming from behind me.

“If you want him dead, go ahead. I won’t stop you. Just remember that you’re sinking down to his level, Skylar. I know what he did to you. It was terrible and something you will never truly recover from, but don’t you think it all worked out in the end, anyway? You’re with me now.”

‘I know,’ I respond through the mind–link. ‘But if this man didn’t ruin me, I wouldn’t have rejected you the first time we met, Lucas. We wouldn’t have to suffer!*

…but is killing him truly the answer? You could just threaten him, you

know.

I snarl, my mind consumed with the thirst for vengeance. How dare he suggest threatening a monster who will grow up to ruin countless lives! Yet… I can’t ignore the whisper of reason in his words.

‘He is also your mate, Skylar,‘ Jinx reminds me in a soft voice. ‘Lucas. doesn’t mean you any harm. If you kill Aron, however, there is no telling. what will happen to the future you built…hell, we don’t even know how it
