CHOSEN BY RUIN
Another null-born slams into a professor, horns driving forward with brutal force.
The impact is sickening.
The professor doesn’t get back up.
My jaw tightens.
No time to process it.
A blur of movement catches my eye—Cassian.
He’s on the ground, struggling, one of the null-borns towering over him, its claws raised—
I move very fast. I might have killed Cassian’s boyfriend because he deserved it, but I wouldn’t forgive myself if Cassian dies too.
I shift mid-stride, bones snapping into place as I slam into the creature, knocking it off him before its claws can come down. My jaws clamp around its arm, tearing flesh away brutally from its body.
