Chapter 197 Blood And Reckoning

• BRIANA
• Laura’s frustration grows clearer with every swing. Her eyes narrow into dangerous slits, and a low snarl escapes her throat as her claws slash through the air. She’s lost all control now—driven by fear and fury. When she lunges again, I step forward, my body moving before my mind catches up. My fist connects squarely with her jaw, and the impact sends a sharp jolt through my arm. Her claws graze my skin, drawing a thin line of blood, but I ignore the sting.
• Laura crashes hard against the wall behind her, the sound echoing through the room before she collapses to the floor. Pain paints her pale face as she curls inward, hands trembling as they protect her stomach.
