Chapter 266

My pulse skyrocketed, every muscle in my body locking up with sheer horror. “Dylan,” I forced out, my voice cracking under the weight of my fear, Stop this.”

He grinned, lazy and taunting, his eyes gleaming with amusement, “Why would I do that?”

Panic clawed at my throat, Because you’re going to start an all out war between werewolves and humans and so many people will get killed

Dylan let out a sharp, mocking laugh, shaking his head as if I were a child too naive to grasp the reality of the world, Oh, Ava,” He sighed, his voice dripping with condescension. “That’s the point. Now, as I was saying—your irritating best friend? She’ll be dead soon. And Rickon? Well, that will be payback for that little stunt he pulled in his office, even though I allowed

His hand fisted in my hair, yanking me out of the car with a force that sent a sharp burst of pain through my scalp. I wasn’t fast enough to react–he threw me to the ground, the breath knocked from my lungs as I hit the ground hard.

I barely had a second to recover before his boot came down and a sickening crack shot through my leg.

I screamed.
