Max's POV
The moment that elevator swallowed Jasmin whole, every instinct I possessed exploded into chaos. My wolf crashed against the confines of my human form, clawing and snarling with murderous rage. What the hell had just happened? When I agreed to this twisted plan, I never consented to watching her disappear like some sacrificial lamb.
Raw fury tore through my chest as I launched myself forward, my boots barely grazing the floor as I vaulted the railing in one fluid motion. Elliott and Clyde were already converging from opposite sides of the brothel, their faces mirroring the same thunderous confusion that was eating me alive.
We slammed into the blank wall where the elevator had vanished. Nothing remained except polished marble and suffocating silence.
