The Hidden Hybrid’s Redemption
Silver.
From the adjoining cell, a sharp, scraping sound echoed. The rogue with the glowing red eyes was scratching a piece of smuggled silver wire against the iron bars, deliberately drawing a thin line of black blood across his own palm. The toxic, burning scent of the pure metal sliced through the air, hitting my sensitive Lycan nose like a physical blow.
The sudden shock of the silver's proximity sent a cold spike of survival through my veins, instantly clearing the fog of the mate bond.
Killian felt it too. His head snapped toward the iron grate, his nostrils flaring as his Alpha protective instincts warred with his confusion.
