Chapter 75
Cameron
It happens in slow motion.
One second, Lenora is thrashing in my hold, the next, she slips through my grip like smoke, all wild rage and sharpened edges.
Austin reacts fast—shielding his sister with a flash of blonde hair and broad shoulders. For a heartbeat, I think maybe he's got her—maybe he's stronger than he looks.
But he underestimates her.
Lenora tosses him aside like a ragdoll. His body hits the floor with a sickening thud that echoes in my chest. By the time I blink, her hand is already around Allison's throat, lifting her clean off the ground with a single arm.
Her voice is raw fury.
"How dare you!"
Allison only makes choking sounds, her legs kicking weakly in the air.
Adrian surges forward, his face twisted with rage, his wolf just beneath the surface. He doesn't get far. My hand snaps out, catching his arm mid-swing.
Over my fucking dead body.
