Chapter 546

Everything froze a second before Garithi threw his head back and laughed. “Oh, that is priceless.”

Rowan growled low, a warning shot. “Leave Amy alone. She isn’t apart of this.”

Brandon’s mouth dropped open. “You mated Amy?”

Rowan wouldn’t look away from Garith. “You can kill me, but leave Amy alone.”

Nix and Megan were on their feet instantly. They ran back to Rowan without a second glance at me. But that was fine. The man was being stupid. Rowan’s eyes danced around the crowd, his eyes meeting mine for a fraction of a second, but I could see his thoughts. We were outnumbered. He wanted me to slink away undetected until I was safe. He would give up his life for me instantly if he knew I could leave safely.

Rowan laughed. He struggled to sit himself up, and his head lolled. I went to grab for him, but Nix busted out of the trees. He’s playing them.

Nix panted. He was trained like you were. His dad made sure he could withstand silver. He is fine. But he is trying to give us a way out. He is telling us to run.

Fuck that. I turned back to Garith.

Nix snorted. My thoughts exactly.

Rowan finally pushed himself into a position to look at Shannon. “Since I’m about to die, allow me to illuminate a few things for you.” He raised an eyebrow and waited for Shannon to nod. “She never wanted Brandon.”
