The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Revenge (02)

Navien lay against the tree, coughing blood. His chest rose and fell in ragged bursts, his eyes wide with shock. He wanted to roar, to shift into his wolf and show this bitch who was the powerful one here. But when he tried to call it forth, nothing came. His body trembled with rage.

Selene walked toward him slowly, each step calm, unhurried. Her eyes were cold, her lips curved in that same soft smile that made him feel smaller than dirt.

Navien growled, forcing himself to stand. "You..." he spat blood to the side, his teeth red. "You little bitch. You dare..."

Her fist connected with his jaw before he could finish. His head snapped to the side, blood spraying from his lips. He staggered, but before he could catch his breath, her knee slammed into his stomach. He gagged, his body folding forward, and she brought her elbow down hard across his back.

The forest echoed with his screams.

Selene’s face didn’t change. Blow after blow landed. Her fists and kicks struck every important place on his body. He tried to cover himself, tried to fight back, but his limbs were weak. The spell still ran through his veins, eating him from the inside.

"Stop!" he howled, spitting more blood. "Stop, damn you! I am Alpha! You can’t..."

Her boot crushed down on his hand. Bones cracked, and his scream tore through the night.

Selene crouched before him, her eyes steady. "Alpha?" she whispered. "Where is your wolf now?"

Navien froze. His breath came shallow, his eyes darting wildly. He reached inward, desperate to feel the beast within. But there was nothing. Nothing but silence.
