Chapter 400

• Maurice’s POV
• “He’ll tear your head from your shoulders before you manage another step,” Aurélie snarls. Her entire body trembles with fury. Blood trails down her side where the knife had been driven into her flesh deep enough to draw significant blood, though the wound is already knitting itself closed. “You think you can take our children? Take what belongs to me? If he doesn’t kill you instantly, then I will.”
• Only then do Damien and I truly register the injury. His gaze snaps to her side, his eyes widening as raw fury ignites within them rage rolling off him like a volcano on the brink of eruption.
