Chapter 115

The classroom had descended into a heavy silence, an almost tangible tension hanging in the air, punctuated only by the hushed whispers of my classmates. Yet, amidst all the chaos, my focus was singular. All I could see was Jax. That infuriatingly smug grin plastered on his face, as if it were an inseparable part of his identity. The sight of Travis being unceremoniously tossed aside like a discarded toy ignited a fire within me, but Jax remained unnervingly calm, his demeanor unshaken.

He clapped his hands in mock applause, shaking his head slowly, a chuckle escaping his lips that felt more like a taunt.

“You really think you can just toss my lapdog out the window and walk away unscathed?” Jax growled, stepping closer, his eyes glinting with challenge.

A part of me wanted to retort, to remind him that Travis’s downfall was of his own making. But the anger coursing through me had rendered me almost speechless. All that remained was the relentless thundering of my wolf, pacing restlessly within, clawing for release.

“I’d make the rest of your pathetic crew suffer the same fate,” the words tumbled from my lips before I even had a chance to stop them. In truth, I hadn’t even tried to hold them back.

Jax’s jaw tightened, a muscle twitching like a coiled spring ready to snap.

Before I could brace myself, Jax lunged at me, his hands gripping my shoulders with a vise-like grip. He slammed me against the wall, the impact jolting pain through my back. Yet, strangely, it only served to stoke the flames of my fury.
