Chapter 220
0220
Atticus has now shifted and he’s attacking the wolves whilst Jai is still in human form, gun in hand.
I know he can shift, but it’s obvious he has more confidence in his human form.
Whatever works for him.
Where are you?
I sniff the air, picking up the smell of his blood.
You’re mine.
I follow the smell, breaking into a run when I catch sight of Olivan’s wolf and rage flares through me
once more. Like a dimming fire that has just had oil poured upon it, rejuvenating it once more.
“We need to fall back!” Jai growls as he begins firing at the wolves, a few drop to the ground, but there
are too many.
No, first I need to find him.
I continue running, my feet barely touching the ground.
I close in on him fast, and several wolves launch themselves at me, but I barrel through them, my aura
like a shield around me, throwing them back.
I have never been so angry…
He’s close, the thundering beating of his heart and my own become incessantly louder.
He’s mine!
My claws sink into Olivan’s back, and I rip through his flank. Satisfaction floods me and I rip through
him again.
He lets out a howl as he stumbles, but I don’t feel any remorse.
What am I doing?
rage as I tear into him. Blood sprays
I’m unable to control my over me and the smell fills my nose. It isn’t enough and I’m ready to end him.
How dare he try to betray me!
His injuries force him to shift back to human form and he’s now at my mercy! Other wolves are closing
in on us, and I only have a few seconds to think.
I’m thrown to the ground, but I’m not down for long.
him as he tries to pitifully clamber away. I can se Within seconds, I’m before
just a few metres away from me.
If I end him… I will become the alpha of these people..
But do I attack a man who is down?
A man who betrayed me.
Atticus slashing into wolves.
The choice isn’t hard, but I only have seconds. A few seconds to either run or to kill.
I look down at the man on the ground whose eyes burn with victory, and I make up my mind.
My heart thumps violently as I raise my claws.
“No… don’t!” Olivan shouts.
It’s too late for that.
“Zaia!” Jai’s panicked voice comes just as I tear into Olivan’s chest and rip out his heart.
I feel the shift of power as his life ends and I let out a thunderous roar, my glowing aura swirls around
me and I shift back to human form.
I feel the power within me strengthen immensely and the connection between the rogues and me
forming.
Atticus reaches me, his wolf standing before me protectively as several wolves close down on us.
“I am your Alpha! Submit or I will kill you!” I snarl the shocking words in a voice that I can barely
recognise as I hold up Olivan’s heart.
Right now, I feel more like a beast than a human. This was a necessity to show them that I am the
Alpha.
My heart is still thumping as the wolves come to a skidding halt, their gaze turning to Olivan’s dead
body on the ground. The realisation of what has happened sinks in.
I stand there, my hair falling over my face, blood covering my face and running down my body.
The entire forest seems to still and I’m sure they felt the shift in power.
They look at one another, uncertain for a few moments before they bow their
heads in submission to me, shifting to human form.
“For the Sable who I know are watching! I’m ready. Stop hiding like cowards and face me. Let’s see
how powerful you really are.” I snarl into the dark woods
around me.
I know they’re here; I know they’re watching and above all, I know they are biding their time…
I scan the area. The smell of blood, poison and smoke fills the air. There are several dead werewolves
scattered around and my heart almost stops when I see Jai on his knees, blood spilling from his chest.
Is he ok?!
My only consolation is that he is still upright, but we needed to be fast.
My eyes blaze with anger, and power as I fling Olivan’s heart into the trees.
And when I speak, my voice rings through the night sky, the goddess herself at witness to my words.
“You want war? Then I’ll give you fucking war!”
