Chapter 14 Dean Fall

• Bertha’s POV
• Ford’s fist hurtles toward Ethan, but Ethan catches it midair, his hand closing tightly around Ford’s. With a forceful squeeze, the bone snaps, and Ford lets out a sharp, antagonizing cry. Those cheering for him earlier as he assaulted Ethan all go quiet, watching as he stumbles back, clutching his shattered hand, eyes wide in shock and pain.
• Ethan stands, his face mirroring the same shock etched onto Ford's. But there's something else—something dark and unrestrained—that wanting to break free, but before he can react further I grab his arm, pulling him away from the gasps and stares.
