Chapter 122. Explanations

Ellie's POV

"I should have killed that bastard!" Damian's voice seethes with barely contained rage, his words punctuated by the grinding of his teeth as he casts a furious glance at my sore wrist.

And then what? What would he have gained by killing that worthless moron? He would have stained his hands because of me. He would have become a certified murderer all because of that useless moron. All the same, his anger cannot allow him to reason right now. He was pushed beyond his limits. That jerk trespassing was one thing; hurting me was another different thing that could have earned him death.

"I am fine, Damian," I mumble, attempting to downplay the severity of the situation.

"No, you are not. I won't hesitate to kill that worthless moron if he dares come near you again, Elli! How dare I even try to hurt you? You have marked him, and this makes me want to run after him and kill the jerk!" he asserts, his tone leaving no room for argument. In
