Rejected, Abused, I Fall for the Forbidden Alpha (by Riley Scott) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165

It was a shame she hadn’t come to the realization sooner, before things got this bad.

MaryAnne made a gurgling sound as I grew tired of her interference, my paws slashing and tearing her throat wide open, spraying me with blood.

She was gone. I felt relieved. Another threat neutralized. Marissa was next once I got my hands on her, although that filled me with regret. She hadn’t participated in the torture, but she’d been there, been the reason that MaryAnne had gotten her hands on me. She’d freed her mother, and I had paid as a result of it.
