Jayden's POV
The instant Harry's hands closed around Jeffrey, rage exploded through my veins.
I couldn't hold back.
My body convulsed as bones fractured and reformed. Skin split open as Abner burst free from within me.
A bone-chilling howl filled the chapel, pure fury given voice. Bristling fur and gleaming fangs emerged as Palmer beside me prepared to shield Lina. But we were already airborne, launching toward the altar.
Abner struck like a thunderbolt, driven by raw instinct and blazing anger. His massive claws connected with the priestess, lifting her from the ground and flinging her across the chapel.
She collided with the far wall in a thunderous crash. Spider web fractures spread behind her as her form collapsed like a broken doll.
Screams erupted from the witches as pandemonium erupted.
Harry stumbled backward, Jeffrey clutched against her chest. Isabel, the witch who had dared lay hands on Jasmine, pushed herself upright. Hatred contorted her features.
