Chapter 147: Chapter 147 - Ransom

Xander disrupted his unit's embrace, almost shoving Scarlet to the side to get to Kiema. His face showed his horror.

His dark brown eyes were flickering with the white, blue, and purple colors of his elemental tiger. "You swear on your life?"

I dipped my head. "On my life."

He fell back, scooped Scarlet back into his arms. Buried his head against her shoulders and began sobbing.

"What the fuck do you think happened in there?" Saint asked me quietly as we moved out of the small room.
