Confused, I said, “What?”
Silas shook his head slowly, like he was speaking to an idiot. “You really are stupid. Being in love with that wretched omega has turned your mind to mush. Haven’t you been listening at all?”
“Just spit it out,” I snarled.
Silas approached Halo, who tensed, ready to fight back. But when Silas reached out slowly, only to touch his arm, Halo froze. He glared at Silas like a cobra ready to strike.
“The omega is valuable,” Silas stated. “Youare not.”
Halo growled and stepped back out of his grip. He stuck to my side. “What are you talking about?”
James’ voice was small. “Um, guys - ”
“You’re a smart one, Kassius,” Silas said. “You can figure it out, I’m sure.”
“I don’t care for whatever game you’re playing,” I snarled at him. “Halo is my mate, and he’s not going anywhere with you. We’re taking James and leaving.”
“You are?” Silas replied, his brows arched. His tone was both furious and in utter disbelief.
“Yes, we are. I’ve had enough of this childishness. Let’s go, Halo.” I stormed towards the cage, ready to shift and break the entire thing with a single swipe of my dragon’s claws.
But as I approached James, he cried out again, more panicked this time. “Kassius!”
I’d reached my breaking point. I snapped at him, “What?”
His eyes widened fearfully, staring at something behind me. “Look - ”
I only had a brief glance at the massive shape lunging at Halo before a sudden blinding pain in the back of my head knocked me into darkness.
