Chapter 251

• Why? Why did he not want Ryder to tell her? Tears filled Mica’s eyes and she crept away, not wanting to hear any more. Was Hayden afraid she’d let Echo go? Did he think it was up to him as her mate to tell her that he was going to kill her mother?
• He doesn’t consider it killing Mom, though. He considers it a mercy, freeing her from the demon.
• It didn’t make Mica feel any better. She carefully opened the kitchen door, slipped through, and softly closed it. Her heart pounded in her throat and she felt as though she was going to vomit. What could she do? Freeing Echo was out of the question—no, she was smart enough to know that wouldn’t end well for anyone.
