I kissed his forehead long as I walked away.
— I will return. — I promised my little wolf, loosening her hand slowly,
hating the idea of walking away from her after two days apart.
I waved to Isaac, warning him to take care of my partner. Hayley was
completely able to protect itself, but after being tortured
for two days and being taken from me, I wouldn’t risk it.
I watched Hayley turn his back on me and accompany Isaac, the two
They disappeared into the dark hallway and disappeared from my field of vision.
When they were far enough away, I released the beast within me.
The beastly dark force roared, the power reverberating within me,
running through my veins and reaching my heart. Open my eyes,
already transformed, and my vision has been perfected, my senses
sharpened and my fury increased.
I followed the scent of the stray through two corridors, passed by
several cells, some empty and others with unconscious males and
chains of silver. The smell of blood and death hung in the air,
the beast growled low, enjoying the odor.
Suddenly, I felt myself going back years ago, the day that the body
my sister was thrown at the gates of my city, as if she didn’t
had no value. She was naked, covered in blood and wounds. Lydia was
the light in my life when the days got dark, when my
world collapsed, my sister was by my side, giving me strength
that I needed to continue.
And that gift from the moon in my life had been killed in a cruel way by
wolf that now I hunted. I would never forget the scene of Lydia dead
and the smell impregnated in her body.
Same smell as the male I found when I turned into another runner.
Some of the hall lights were lit by Madison to light up the lair after the attack. He was with his back to me, I shuddered to see him
break the neck of one of my men, the noise of the bone being
broken echoed through the silent corridor.
The male raised his shoulders and slowly turned towards me.
The first thing I saw were the black eyes, dark as the very
night, full of perversity and malice. I wanted to vomit the
meat in my stomach.
— Well, well, well. Look who I had the pleasure of meeting.
Displayed my elongated fangs, sharp fangs that were ready to
tear the neck of that bastard. He passed his hand
bloodied by blonde hair.
— Are you cranky, Supreme? But I didn’t even get to put my hands on you
partner. Too bad, she’s so beautiful.
The claws tore my fingertips, as sharp as
daggers.
— You killed her. — My voice went dark.
He snapped his tongue, running his bloody fingers through his tongue.
— Are you referring to your lovely little sister? Oh, I had a great time
with her. What was her name again? — Scratched her chin. — Lydia Labonair,
a delight of the female.
Every word the wolf uttered was like a punch in the stomach,
bringing up memories that I tried to forget, keep deep
of my mind. I moved forward, calmly. I was a
experienced predator who liked to play with his hunt, torture her slowly, enjoy the moment.
— Want to know how I found you? Your smell was on Lydia. But no
only in her skin, but inside my sister.
The male retreated for the first time. Frowned dark eyebrows,
understanding the truth behind my words. A glimpse
of shock paled the face of the male.
Are you telling me that your sister was carrying my baby?
I ran my tongue through my pointy teeth. The bastard even
realized what he had done, the lives
that took.
— You not only killed Lydia, but the son she carried. You killed the
two, and now I will send your soul to burn in hell for
sins he has committed.
The wolf growled, showing the elongated canines to me. A roar
monstrous climbed up my throat and released it on the male, the
seeing if choose and lower your head, getting hit by mine
dominance. Before he could react, my fist hit his face
twice in a row. He staggered, blood gushing from his nose
broken and mouth cut.
The male spit on the floor and smiled, his teeth dirty with blood.
— A pity that Lydia died. But I can’t guarantee that the
He wasn’t the only one who touched your little sister.
Stuck my claws in his shoulders and threw him hard into the wall, the
noise of his head hitting the wall sounded all over the quiet lair and
silent. The wolf’s body fell to the ground. He couldn’t react to my blows and my fury.
All the pain he caused Lydia, every wound he made on her body,
every tear she shed while she suffered at his hands
damn. I remembered every detail as I hit my fist in the face of
strayed, each blow stronger than the other. His blood stained
my hands.
Took a break to take a deep breath, the bastard was still
awake. He turned his face and coughed up blood, and a broken tooth together.
I tried to control my breathing.
— Your parents died. Your sister was killed. And you will also lose your
partner, Supreme. Your destiny is to be alone. You will die a lonely death
and slow.
I curled my nails in his chest and tore his skin, his scream
echoed all over the place, a roar of pain. I saw him agonize on the ground, if
debated and tried to push me, but it wasn’t strong enough. I held
his neck, my claws scratching his throat. I took his breath away
wolf by closing my hand around his neck.
— End it. — He managed to babble, his face red. — Kill me.
A scary and wicked smile opened on my lips, I saw the male
tremble.
— Killing you now would be too easy, it would ruin my fun. I will
make you beg for death.
Killing me won’t bring your sister back.
— You’re right. Killing your kind will not bring Lydia back to life, but will avenge her and every female who suffered at your hands and the strays.
He dug his nails into the wound in my chest, I bit my teeth,
grunting from pain. I grabbed his hand and broke his fingers, he arched the
back to the ground. I clenched my claws in his throat harder and
growled in his face.
— His torment has just begun. This is the fate of all who dare
hurt my family, a punishment worse than burning in the flames of the
hell.

Love is like a balance. At the same time it is your strength, if
makes you weak. When we love, we are somehow
vulnerable. Because the person we love has the power to hurt us
in a way that no one else can.
When Jackson came into my life, I hated him because I feared having my
heart broken for him. I couldn’t bear to love someone so
intensely and lose it, then it would be a very hard blow to
hold out.
I learned the hard way to trust only myself, to be the one
responsible for my life, act independently. But then the
Alpha Supreme came into my life and won my heart
slowly, with patience and love. And now, with our relationship in
pieces, all we had by a thread to crumble, trust
broken, I wondered if really love is able to overcome everything
as people say.
For love, I was able to surrender to the strays, having
awareness of the terrible risks I was taking. Having my body violated,
my soul destroyed and torn to pieces. For love to my family, the
Jack, to our people, I was willing to sacrifice to myself how many
times were necessary.
Having seen and witnessed their parents being killed, sacrificing themselves for
our pack, made me understand that the nature of love is sacrifice.
My parents died to save Aiden and me, how couldn’t do the
even?
I would not allow anyone else to suffer at the hands of
wandering. And finally, thanks to the Moon, the lair had been discovered,
wolves were being killed, and the leaders arrested to pass through
trial. Everything I promised the females in the last few weeks was
fulfilling. The oath I took to Victoria, now she could rest in
world of the dead. She would be avenged.
Maybe I’d made a mistake in acting alone, choosing to leave and
turn me in without telling Jack or even trusting him about Nick, from
some way, changed something between us. Jack told me about his
sister and how her death affected him, and I chose to ignore everything that
Supreme will suffer and have chosen to act alone, opening more wounds in
heart into pieces of my partner.
My head was crazy. My mind was still buzzing with the
who had heard of the wretched vampire. He had accused Jack of
atrocities, having agreed to the rebellion and ignored the dozens
of deaths of our people. But how could I choose to believe in
a parasite who had shown me evidence of his accusations and distrust the
male that I fell in love with?
Everything inside me was a complete mess. I couldn’t
think right or reason. But mainly, did not know in whom
believe. At that moment, I couldn’t have that conversation with
Jack, not when fatigue, pain and exhaustion consumed all my
body.
Parts of me were falling apart, breaking apart. It was like
my life was a complete lie, full of secrets and more
suffering. Moments of happiness were so rare.
I loved Jackson Labonair in a wild crazy way, the male
selfless and kind. But now I wasn’t sure the Supreme was
really who he told me to be. How would I love someone who didn’t
knew?
— Ham... is that Hayley?
Blinked a few times, trying to clear my mind and looked at the
beta next to me. Isaac looked at me in a weird way, the
furrowed eyebrows and tight lips. I knew that
It was dirty and smelly, but he made no effort to disguise it.
— Yes?
I leaned on the wall to keep walking. The smell of gasoline
scattered around, the lair was unbearable. My senses were still
confused, but the odor was too strong not to be felt, being a
human or not.
— What happened to you?
I caught a cold laugh that went up my throat.
— Well, I was tortured physically and psychologically in the last
Forty— two hours for wolves and a vampire. I almost got raped and
I’m hungry. Is there anything else you want to know? Or do you want to do more
Any questions? I asked bitterly.
I heard a sigh break from Isaac. I was not at my best
days.
