When Kimi's gaze fell upon Kolton, her breath caught in her throat. The expression on his face was nothing short of murderous as he stared at the boy clutching her wrist. His eyes burned with a dangerous intensity that could freeze blood in anyone's veins. He appeared ready to commit violence without hesitation.
The boy's grip on Kimi's hand vanished instantly, but Kolton's hold on him remained firm and unforgiving.
Kolton's cold stare swept over to the other two boys standing behind their friend. They immediately stumbled backward before turning and fleeing in terror.
With deliberate slowness, Kolton applied pressure to the boy's wrist. A strangled cry of agony escaped the boy's lips.
Kimi watched the scene unfold with horror-filled eyes. She stood frozen in place, unable to move until the sickening crack of bone reached her ears. She gasped and lunged forward, wrapping her fingers around Kolton's forearm.
