SKYE’S POV

I don’t move to follow Mason. There’s no point; he’d just brush me off anyway.

Behind me, Ryan chuckles. “Wow,” he says, “Garrett’s dead. Maddie, do you know what this means? We’re free!”

Maddie doesn’t reply, but I feel her hand clasp my shoulder.

“I’m sorry,” she murmurs. “I know what he meant to you.”

I nod slowly, feeling slowly starting to re-enter my body. Ryan’s continued chuckles echo in my mind and my fury rises. I turn to see him starting to walk toward me. He veers around me and comes to a stop next to Garrett’s body.

“Not so scary now, are you?” he sneers down at him.

I clench my fists; he will not talk to Garrett like that.

“Ryan, shut up,” Maddie snaps while simultaneously squeezing my shoulder reassuringly. “Get your knife and let’s get out of here before Winston comes.”

“Winston’s powerless without his mutt to do his dirty work,” Ryan scoffs, poking Garrett with his foot.

I take a step forward. Red clouds my vision.

Ryan looks up, a stupid grin still on his face. But his expression quickly changes to terror when he sees me raise my hand toward him.
