LOGINA roar split the air, and for a moment, I thought it came from my own throat before I heard gasping behind me and realized that it was Dominic. I looked up through blurred vision and saw him standing over Gareth’s body. The rogue wasn’t moving. His throat was torn out, his one good eye staring blank
Ellie’s POVI couldn’t move.My mother was on the ground with a lake of blood pooling beneath her, and all I could do was fucking stand there and stare.Dominic’s grip on my arm vanished. He shifted mid-stride and launched himself at Gareth, who did the same. The two collided in the air, fur and fle
