Chapter 259

• Gray’s eyes blaze with anger, and I can practically feel the air crackling between them. They’re one wrong word away from tearing into each other, and as much as I’d love to see Gray put in his place, I know this is not the time or place for an alpha showdown.
• I step forward before things can escalate. “Stop it. Both of you.” My voice comes out sharper than I intended, and for a second, they both glance at me like they forgot I was even here. Typical.
• I move between them, turning toward Gray with my hands raised in what I hope looks like a peace offering. “Look, we’re all on the same side here. None of us want more deaths.”
