Chapter 192

Scarlett’s POV

Midnight roared within me, her fury rising to meet his insult. The fire of her anger coursed through me, a melten resolve that he couldn’t possibly see. Garland had no idea the storm he had just unleashed. My blood boiled at his arrogance, at the audacity to call me worthless, to think I was helpless.

Lucian’s voice rang through the air, strong yet pleading, “Please, let her go. Your qualms are with us, not her.” I glanced at him-at Tiger-and caught a hint of his frustration. He looked away, his pride warring with his desire to protect me. I could see the conflict etched in his face; he wanted so desperately to be my hero, to swoop in and rescue me.

But he didn’t need to.

I was no damsel in distress, and Garland was about to find that out.
