20 The Hidden Monster

"You-" Victoria stuttered while staring at the hand firmly holding onto her arm. She can't remember the last time she felt genuine terror; it was probably when Valir Dimitri went insane and came dangerously close to taking her and Marco's lives.

"You have no right to touch me! You scumbag!" Victoria was successful in suppressing her anxiety and keeping it a secret. "Do you think you can do anything in that state?" she asked firmly. (Right, this dog can't do anything because of the severe wounds we inflicted on him. Even though Drake Wood is a wolf, I seriously doubt that he'll be able to get better in such a short amount of time.)

Drake's grip on her wrist, on the other hand, was excessively tight- "I said let me go!" Victoria withdraws her arm and attacks Drake's hand.
