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.

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
