The Beast And The Blessed

Chapter 152

Forty-Five: Joselin

Joselin's P.O.V.

Instead, I was fuming, my hands in fists at my sides with a healer rubbing her palms over my body, trying to find something...anything to keep the beast by my head from killing her.

The others were more experienced, but something about Flora told me she was the one to trust. She was
