Chapter 268 268: The face-off.

Nathan's jaw clenched. "And you expect me to believe that? To stand down and let Ramsey take everything?"

"I won't stand here and listen to you say nonsense!" I interrupted him taking a step towards him. I could feel the familiar simmer of anger rising within me again. "You're an ungrateful bastard even back then and now."

"And what of you?" he fired back looking me squarely in my eyes. "I saved you. I wasted four years of my life in a dungeon because of you and yet…"

"You killed my father!" I didn't allow him to finish. "You killed those Alphas from the Gala night who teased and goddess knows who else…"

He stared at me for a few seconds before he chuckled. "Our systems are slow to mete out justice, Lyla. Everything I did back then, I did it because they were deserving and ideally, I didn't kill your dad. Your sister, Clarissa did. She provided his itinerary to those rogue wolves and they did their thing."
