Gregor's breath hitched.

"You can," I cut him off smoothly. "And you will."
I leaned forward, lowering my voice.
"Because without me… you're already dead."
His throat bobbed as panic flickered across his face. He was breaking.
It was only a matter of time.

His hands trembled as they rested on the desk, his knuckles turning white.
"Alpha Killian, you know Selene… she's a stubborn girl."
I raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue.
