Sebastian~
Jacob's words echoed in the room like a cruel joke.
"You have to let her go."
I stared at him, stunned, like someone had just carved the sun out of the sky.
My fists clenched so hard my nails pierced through my gloves. Rage boiled in my chest, dark and thick, rising to my throat like bile. I took one step forward, then another. The air around me dropped in temperature, a subtle shiver crawling across the room. Alexander seemed to wake up at that very moment and peeked out from his father's arms with wide, innocent eyes before Zane made him look away. Good. He shouldn't see me like this.
"You want me to what?" I hissed, stepping into Jacob's space, my voice trembling with rage. "Sever the bond? You think I'm just going to—what? Rip her out of my soul like she was a bad investment?"
Jacob, the infuriating wolf spirit with the forever-teenager smirk, didn't flinch. Of course he didn't.
