Chapter 266

• Third Person's POV
• Through her tear-blurred vision, Olivia saw the calm, predatory eyes of Magnus. Every fiber of her being screamed that he meant to kill her. The air between them seemed to thrum with the low growl of a wolf ready to strike. Olivia had never felt such raw fear, the kind that crawled under your skin and froze your blood.
• But soon, even fear became distant, a fading echo. The suffocating pressure of Magnus's grip left her body icy. Her hands, still clutching his wrist, slowly drooped. The strength in her legs faded, and she teetered on the edge of consciousness, sliding toward the darkness of a world that seemed endless and vertigo-inducing.
