Chapter 0708

Mila's ruby eyes flashed with momentary annoyance. "If your champion prevails, I will... consider releasing them," she hissed coldly. "But she must remain here, bound, for the duration of the fight. I can't have her scurrying away like a rat."

Enzo's eyes narrowed. "How can I trust you?" he growled. "You'll only consider letting her go home?"

Annoyance flickered over Mila's perfect features before they smoothed over again. "Fine. I vow that if you win, no harm will come to your mate or her... mongrel offspring. But attempting to flee before the battle's end will instantly forfeit my mercy. Do we have an accord?"

Enzo paused, his eyes flickering over to me. I felt like a fly caught in a web, unsure which way to flap my wings in an attempt to escape. And the spider was right beside me, knowing fully well that my attempts to flee her web were pointless.

"Fine," Enzo finally muttered. "We have a deal."
