Chapter 71 Monster

• As soon as Elijah stormed into his makeshift lab, his anger boiled hotter than lava. With one violent swipe, he sent everything on his desk crashing to the floor, glass beakers shattering into tiny pieces. The sound did nothing to quell the fury raging inside him. His chest heaved, fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.
• “Fuck!!” he roared, tugging at the roots of his hair, feeling the sting of self-directed frustration.
