Chapter 48 I Will Avenge My Child

• APOLLO'S POV
• Anya’s body crumpled to the ground, and a pool of crimson began to spread around her like a slow, bleeding flower. Her blood soaked into the soil that had once given her power, feeding her arrogance. It flowed steadily from the gash along her side, down her arm, and out of her mouth. She twitched once… then went still.
• The battlefield fell into an eerie silence. I stared at her body, unmoving, my expression hard. She was finally gone. That woman—who had tormented Reika, who had dared to lay a finger on my mate—was nothing more than a carcass now, her blood seeping into the territory she once ruled with fear and cruelty.
