Chapter 5

Dane glared down at his shaky fiancée gripping his legs, trying hard not to lose it and kill someone.

His eyes zeroed in on Raven, icy and hard.

"You're testing me, woman," he snarled, his voice dropping low and rough.

Madeline caught what he said, and a nasty little smirk flashed in her eyes as she peeked at Raven.

She was dead sure this girl was toast-done for good.

Brynjar didn't miss a beat. He stepped up and tapped Dane's knee with his boot.

"Thud!" It sounded like a muffled drum hitting the floor.

Dane's legs gave out, and he crashed down, kneeling right there in front of Raven.

His knees screamed, but the real pain was the humiliation slamming into him like a freight train.

His sharp eyes locked onto Raven, like he could rip her apart just by staring.
