Chapter 83

THEON

"My, my!" Dominic's deep voice rumbled. "How you've grown."

I kept silent, my free hand curled into a fist.

"Should I call you brave or arrogant for coming into a lion's den without backup?"

"Who says I came without backup?" I said and at my cue, my men came out from the bushes on both sides. One group shot electric tasers at the beasts behind me, incapacitating them and bringing them to their knees while the others turned their guns on Dominic and his I sighed in relief cause plan F was a success. I was simply the distraction while they climbed over a wall to get in.

Dominic smiled, seemingly unfazed by the turn of events and I knew why. His army will soon be here and I had twenty minutes tops to get out. "I guess you are as smart as they say."

I glanced at Adam, whose hair was gripped by Dominic and spotted a huge bleeding gash on Adam's collarbone. "Let him go." I demanded, "Your men in exchange for mine." I motioned to the incapacitated beasts behind me.

Dominic huffed before bursting into a cackle. To my surprise, his men joined in and that made me frown. This wasn't the way things should have gone. My captain shared a worried glance with me.

I instantly realized I needed a new plan. "Well, unlike you, the lives of each of my men matter so please, let him go. He's innocent."

"Innocent?" Dominic snorted "I caught him stealing from my garden and I don't know about the law over in your kingdom but here

in the North, stealing is punishable by death." He bared his teeth. To make a point, Dominic dung a claw into Adam's wound and his cry echoed in the air, sending a flock of birds scampering in flight.

I took a deep breath to control my anger. "He was under my orders."

"I don't fucking care." Dominic's clawed hand moved up to Adam's throat. "He dies by my hand."
