Seraphine had expected this. The moment Ravyn lost control, violence would be the first thing on his mind. That was exactly why she stepped in front of Zane without hesitation. He was her witness, and she wasn't going to let anyone silence him.
Ravyn's chest rose and fell hard as he fought to keep his temper in check. His fists tightened until his knuckles turned white. Countless questions raced through his mind. He recognized Zane.
More importantly, he knew Daisy had been communicating with him. The calls, the hidden messages. Everything suddenly began fitting together in a way that made his stomach turn.
Daisy's legs gave out beneath her. She collapsed onto her knees, face already streaked with tears. "Zane…" her voice cracked with pure desperation. "Please…"
Before she could finish, Zane's furious shout exploded through the hall. "Shut the fuck up, bitch!" Not a trace of pity showed on his face.
