Chapter 108: Thief

Astrid's POV

I bit my lower lip as I tried to pull my arm away from Asha's iron-tight grasp. Her slender fingers were like bands of steel as she held me down, her eyes fixated with laser-like intensity on the dark silver bracelet that adorned my wrist. Each time I tried to pull my hand out, she would tighten her grip around my wrist, burying her nails into my skin until my arm had turned red because of the lack of blood.

"I asked you a question!" Asha yelled at me. "Where did you get this?!"

I flinched at her fury. I do not understand why my bracelet made her angry.

"Asha, let her go! You are hurting her," Nova demanded, unable to lay a finger on the daughter of the Shadowfang Pack's Alpha.

If only she had not been someone we could not afford to offend, Nova would have hurled her away from me to protect me.

"I-It was a gift," I answered her as I winced in pain.

Suddenly, Asha twisted my arm, making me yell out loud. She held my arm in an unnatural position. She held it at a perfect angle at the edge of breaking my arm.

"Asha! Let her go!" Nova yelled as she stepped forward to intervene.

However, Asha pushed her back by baring her canines and giving Nova a murderous glare with her glowing golden eyes.
