The Alphas Forgotten Daughter

Episode 9 - Chapter 6, Part 3

Part 3

In a panic to make myself as submissive as possible, I dropped my croissant and jumped off the counter, then bowed my head and kept my arms by my side while I awaited the oncoming tirade I was to receive. As Sylas hurtled towards me with fire in his eyes, Kevin span on the spot, knife in one hand, a spatula in the other and side-stepped to block Sylas's path.
