Chapter 127

Knox's POV I lunged for Cornelius, grabbing him by the collar and slamming him against the wall. His eyes snapped open, and widened with fear. “Where is she?” I roared, my voice blending with Fenrir’s “Where’s Aria?!” He coughed, shaking in fear. “I—I don’t know,” he wheezed. My grip tightened. “What do you mean by that?” I growled. “I saw you take her. You took her away from the fight.” Cornelius blinked, shaking his head frantically. “I was—I was taking her to safety. She was hurt, and—and… losing too much blood. But then—then a vampire came out of nowhere. I tried to stop it, but it knocked me out.” My heart dropped to my stomach, and my breath caught. “No…” I breathed out in horror, shaking my head frantically. I tightened my grip on his collar. “No! I don’t believe you! Tell me what the hell happened!” I roared. Cornelius flinched, trembling in fear. “Y-You…have…to… to believe me, Alpha. I-I tried to save…her. But the vampire was too strong.” Fenrir snarled inside me, unconvinced.
