I grit my teeth and step back.
Wren immediately exhales like she’s been underwater.
Finn’s watching us both, jaw tight, eyes suspicious and concerned at the same time.
Kael’s expression is unreadable, but I see the tension in his shoulders, the way his gaze lingers on her too long.
They both know I pushed too hard.
They both know I’ll do it again.
Because whatever scared her last night?
It’s not done.
And until we figure out what the hell it is...
I’m not letting her out of my sight.
Not for one goddamn second.
Chapter 10: Wren
Atlas steps back, andI swear the air in the room fills like someone pulled the emergency brake on the entire world.
My skin still tingles where his presence pressed up against it.
My pulse still hammers from the way he saidtell me their name.
My mind is still replaying the part where he said he’d “handle it.”
Handle it.
No questions.
No witnesses.
