Chapter 308

• Crimson blood gushed forth, splattering across the warped wooden floor, the metallic scent filling the room like a storm that could drown the senses. Caden’s body convulsed violently, his eyes bulging wide, pupils blown out in pure terror. Fear coated them, thick and black as tar, drowning out the last of his defiance.
• “No… please,” he gasped, voice trembling, his hands slick with his own blood as he tried to hold himself together. “Spare me—I’ll do anything, anything you ask!”
• Carmen stood above him, her gaze colder than a moonless night, sharper than any blade in her hand. Her expression carried no mercy, no hint of hesitation—only the hollow fury of a wolf who had lost her pack-sister.
