Caspian's POV
"You used this child as bait?!"
"Technically… " The moron half shrugged and I could not hold back any longer. It wasn't what he was saying,but what he had already said… the trigger was my father. What the hell did the motherfucker try to imply?!
I moved before he could finish that smug, half-formed sentence dripping from his mouth.
My fist connected with his jaw so hard I felt bone shift under my knuckles.
The crack echoed.
David's head snapped to the side. For a split second, silence.
Then he spat blood and laughed.
I hit him again.
This time across the mouth.
His lip split open, red blooming fast against his teeth.
"Shut. The. Fuck. Up," I growled, driving him back a step.
But he didn't fall.
Didn't even properly retaliate.
He just stood there, rolling his jaw like he was testing the damage.
And smiling.
That smile made my skin crawl.
I swung again—And that's when he moved.
