Chapter 51
Chapter 51
In a rush, three packs converge on the valley.
Mine.
Karolina’s.
And a contingent of the Regional Council, led by a vicious wolf named Tobin. I’m not sure what he’s
doing here, but I recognize the red streak of his fur and the violent way he dismembers the wolf nearest
him.
I barrel into Brian. My teeth sink into his neck and my momentum slams us to the ground where we roll
toward the
fire.
He growls. Through his fur, I bite down until my teeth rupture skin. The spurt of his blood is satisfying.
He claws my chest and abdomen.
I bite harder. In my lycan form, I use my hands to grip his front legs and I wrench them mercilessly.
He tucks and his legs slice down my side.
Somehow, he breaks my hold and runs back toward Leah. She’s hobbling away from the mayhem. I
tackle Brian again.
Leah starts convulsing.
It’s begun.
I roar and several of my packmates respond. They leave their respective fights and charge toward us.
Leah is so vulnerable. And she’s hurt and bleeding.
It’s never been done, what’s happening here tonight. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Alpha powers passing to a human…
Brian slashes my face and I shove my hand into his mo uth when he snaps at my throat. I use the grip
of his jaw to rip it off.
He wails and I shove my hand through his chest, piercing his
heart.
I’d thought about ripping off his head. But that’s too quick. Too merciful. Let him suffer. I run to Leah
and catch her in my arms.
We sink to the ground.
Her body arcs and the power she’s receiving radiates through her body.
She’s still bleeding. Still absorbing her legacy. But I hold her close. All around us, wolves are
regrouping. Brian’s remaining packmates are constrained or killed.
My pack forms a wall around us.
“It’s okay. You’re going to be okay, honey.”
She shakes and writhes, her body enduring an infusion of power that is a lineage of wolves back to the
beginning. It’s painful and slow.
As the minutes pass, I eye her warily.
The agony she’s experiencing right now… it is just the beginning.
