“Rules were meant to be broken,” I growl.
The mere thought of him getting his hands on Aspen again sends ripples of fury across my skin. I feel like someone has lit my insides on fire. I want to destroy this asshole, but there’s an invisible wall between us, stopping me from doing so.
“I’m not scared of you, Quinton. I’ve fought bigger monsters.”
“You might not be right now, but you should be. Given the first opportunity, you’re dead.”
Matteo shakes his head. “All of this over that girl… that seems a little ridiculous. She’s a liar, a fucking rat. Or has that tight pussy put a spell on you?”
“What she is doesn’t matter to you. Take the warning or don’t. Either way, I will fucking end you if you fuck with what’s mine.”
Turning around, I walk away, not giving him the chance to continue the conversation. It should’ve been done the moment I gave him the warning.
“You might be the untouchable king of Corium, but you left your queen vulnerable,” Matteo yells after me.
I don’t even bother turning around. It’s not me I’m worried about. It’s the person that is slowly becoming my biggest weakness.
Aspen.
