Chapter 134

CLAUDIA. Seeing Kiernan ignites something in me. Something that I didn’t know was there. A blast of white-hot rage that burns up my throat, threatening to escape my mouth through a scream or a stream of profanity. Or perhaps even an attack. And this time, there would be no holding back. No amount of sympathy. I take a step forward, ready to shift into my wolf form and take him down, but that’s when Achilles steps forward and blocks me from Kiernan, who just smiles as though he finds all of this entertaining. I know that we are all itching to attack him. Carlos is basically frothing at the mouth. Achilles is barely controlling his anger, and I can tell that the only thing holding him back is a single shred of possible affection that he still recognizes due to his lifelong friendship with Kiernan. Other than that, he’s good to go. I myself am only waiting for a cue from him, and I’m already promising myself that I will not be weak enough to stop once I get the go signal this time.
