Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T

Chapter 288

289. Olivia - Healing I

Rueben mutters something under his breath. Did he really believe that I'll gladly bend over and let him fuck me just because he suddenly decided that I'll be his bonded? "I'll give you some space for tonight. But tomorrow, we will continue what we started here. The sandwich is for you. I thought you might be hungry," he says before leaving me alone with Ansel.

"You should grow a backbone," Ansel says as he drags in his wings.

"And give Rueben more reasons to beat me? No, thank you."

"If dares lay another finger on you, he will become food for the worms."

"Poor worms," I say, making Ansel laugh.

Ansel puts the wings next to me on the island. I grab one and look at it. The wing doesn't appear to have signs of decomposition. Do demon wings even rot away like human bodies?

"Do you think you can... put them back?" Ansel tries not to sound excited, but I can hear that glimmer of hope in his voice.

"I don't know unless I try. Take off your hoodie."
