He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1060

Juno froze, the cheerful smile instantly wiping off her face.

Her mind went blank. Looking up, she saw Zachary’s jaw clenched so hard a muscle feathered in his cheek. His eyes were locked on something over her shoulder, burning with a terrifying intensity.

Instinctively, she turned her head to look.

Two bruised, murderous faces were glaring back at her, and a heavy steel pipe was swinging through the air, aimed squarely at her head!

The wind off the swing hit her face, cold and lethal.

Her body locked up in absolute terror. Her legs turned to jelly, and she couldn't even move to dodge.

In a split second, Zachary wrapped both arms around her, shielding her completely.

He turned his body, taking the brutal, bone-crushing impact of the steel pipe directly on his forearm.

*CRACK!*

The sickening sound of heavy metal slamming into bone echoed through the garage.

Zachary’s body jerked from the sheer force of the blow. Every muscle in his back seized, and a blinding wave of pain tore through his arm, but he didn't give a single inch.

He stood like a brick wall, keeping Juno completely shielded from the assault.

Without giving them a second to recover, Zachary moved.

He grabbed the wrist of the man who had just hit him, his grip like a steel vise. With a vicious, calculated twist, he locked the joint and snapped it backward.

A wet crunch echoed out, followed by a bloodcurdling scream as the thug’s wrist broke in half.

Using his momentum, Zachary pivoted and delivered a devastating kick right into the second thug’s chest.

The explosive power sent the man flying through the air. He crashed hard onto the concrete a dozen feet away and didn't get back up.

In under two seconds, both men were on the ground, writhing in agony, completely neutralized.

Dead silence fell over the garage.

Juno stood frozen, pressed tightly against Zachary's broad back.

She could feel the faint tremor in his muscles, the lingering tension from absorbing that crushing blow meant for her.
