Ava | Chap. 30

Everything happened so fast, it took me a few seconds to process what my eyes were seeing. In the span of a second, Jace pinned the elf to a tree, holding him above ground by the neck with an iron fist.

I gasped and brought my hands to my mouth. "Jace!! What are you-

- What's this filth doing here!? DID YOU BRING HIM!?" His glare settled onto me, and a chill slid down my spine when I met his flaming eyes.

I was barely able to open my mouth despite my intention to reply, since Jace turned his face away to glare at the elf. His hand pressed harder against his throat, and I felt my fists clench with worry. He's going to kill him!

"He saved my life! Please, he's not a threat-" my phase was cut short when Jace suddenly folded in two, a painful grin distorting his face. The Elf was unwillingly released, but still managed to land on his feet and keep his composure.
