Chapter 68

The forcefield doesn't look like the one he and Elle created before- this one is more sheer and has visible cracks and holes scattered throughout it. Eli looks like he's in pain the longer he holds it, and I shake him to stop his focus. "Stop, Eli! You're hurting yourself!" In that time, Grayson, Cooper, and Axel have all stepped up as far as they can to the forcefield, and Grayson looks as if he's about to shift into his wolf right now. Once again, his claws are out, his canines are elongated, and his eyes are completely black. His chest is heaving from the force of his breaths, and if looks could kill, Eli would be a corpse faster than you can say "squirrel." "I'm not stopping," Eli grunts, "until I know he won't hurt you." Grayson's breaths stop immediately as he stares at Eli, his head tilting to the side adorably. His eyebrows scrunch together, causing two wrinkles to appear between his brows. "I would never hurt Thea. I love her. I was coming for you," Grayson explains quickly. C
