Chapter 42 I Deserve A Second Chance

• Magnus intently stares at Yonatan, the fierce expression never leaving his face as he speaks up. “Four years ago in Linchester. When I’d gone there to investigate Carlisle’s involvement with the human traffickers…” Magnus pauses for a while. The memory is too painful to recall.
• Yonatan notices his expression and something twists in the pit of his stomach—and it’s not the pain he sustained from Magnus’ punches, no. it’s something significantly ill-omened which he cannot yet define—and nothing is more frightening than a fear you cannot name.
• And the dreaded moment arrives, slowly but surely, one second nudging the next along as Magnus continues, “Michelle… was also in Linchester at that time. But something had happened with the security detail you’d sent…she was attacked. Shot.” Magnus glowers at Yonatan. He looks mad enough to kill and all that anger is directed at Yonatan. He can’t even blame him. He deserves all of it.
