Debra’s POV:
“Mr. Cooper, stop!” I shouted at the top of my Lungs.
I had half a mind to turn into a wolf and beat the crap out of Adam.
This man had gone too far!
But he still had Riley. If he wanted to, he could snap her neck at any given moment.
Since I couldn’t fight him head-on, I had no choice but to try and talk sense into him.
I tugged at Adam’s hand around Riley’s neck hard, trying my best to loosen his grip so that Riley could breathe.
“Mr. Cooper, she’s your wife and Luca’s mother. Please! Think about your son!” I begged desperately.𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Only then did Adam let go of Riley, slowly shifting back to his human form. ©
Riley collapsed to the floor and gasped for breath. I quickly helped her stand up, patting her back worriedly.
“Debra, get the fuck out!” Adam Looked at me angrily. “This is none of your goddamned business!”
His expression was so horrible and ferocious that I couldn’t help but take a few steps back.
Ny instincts were yelling at me to run away, but it was my fault that
Riley had gotten into trouble. Adam was so angry because he had noticed something unusual in his study, and it was my carelessness that put the innocent Riley in harm’s way.
Looking at the red marks around Riley’s neck, I felt terrible.
“I’m fine, Debra.” Riley must’ve felt terrible since she was nearly strangled to death just now, but she still thought about me and Luca.
“You might get hurt if you stay here. Go downstairs and comfort Luca, please. The poor boy must be frightened out of his wits.”
I didn’t say anything. I just held Riley’s hand tightly, unwilling to leave her alone with this monster.
A mother’s instinct was really something. The way she protected her child touched me deeply. She reminded me of my own mother and Vicky.
They could become exceptionally brave for the sake of their children.
If my mother and Vicky were still alive, they would’ve done everything they could to protect me, just like Riley did with Luca, right?
Thinking of this, I was even more determined to help her.
Whatever happened, I couldn’t Let the drunk Adam beat Riley senseless.
Riley hadn’t done anything wrong. She didn’t deserve to suffer Like this!
I racked my brains, trying to think of a solution
