Colby's arm trembled from the intense pain. A quick glance told him the blood was already turning dark.

"Colby, get your woman in line. If she keeps defying Elodie, I'll kill her," Griffin said, his tone chillingly calm, like killing was as simple as slicing meat. The toxin in Colby's arm was already causing nerve paralysis.
