Chapter 10 Esmeralda's Pov

• Before I can even protest, Sheldon strides across the room, snatching me up and tossing me over his shoulder like I weigh nothing. My heart races as I try to squirm free, but he holds me tightly, squeezing the back of my thigh.
• “Put me down!” I shout, struggling against him, but my protests are met with silence.
• Lucien follows behind, silently seething. I don't blame him for being unable to do anything. He has tried his best to protect me for whatever reason he has. But he possibly couldn't go against his alpha and Lord. He was a good person, but he knew what he would face if he crossed Sheldon. He knew he’d likely find trouble.
