Daphne's POV
Kieran's voice boomed in my head, making me freeze in my steps. I swear I had sensed I wasn't alone, but I couldn't have possibly imagined it was him. I still couldn't see him. But from our mind link, I could tell he was close by. 'I mean it, little one.' He spoke again.
'I am not afraid of you.' I retorted and he growled. Not in our mind link this time. Which made it possible for me to spot him.
'Don't make me hurt your little friend over there.' His palpable threat wasn't a bluff. His deadly tone told me just that. I could risk Sammy's life by running towards him, or I could stay put and make all his efforts to come get me for nothing. None of the options was pretty, but at least he would be alive. I had a chance of seeing Kieran lose his control completely to his wolf, and it's not pretty.
