Chapter 112

• Kylian's POV
• Releasing her arms, I turned, reaching for the hammer I’d brought for this ritual. Her defiance deserved nothing less than a brutal end. In one smooth motion, I brought the hammer down hard against her ankle, feeling the bone shatter beneath the impact. Her scream filled the chamber, tearing through the silence, raw and unrestrained. It was the sound of pure agony. Her body convulsed with the pain, but I wasn’t done.
• I lifted the hammer again, this time bringing it down on her other ankle. Another crack, another scream, her body jolting violently as her voice broke, the cry tearing through the stale air of the chamber, almost drowning out the sound of her bones shattering.
