Book Chapter74
The situation is quickly declining, spiraling downward as the new Alpha snaps teeth toward a female who’s without honor in his mind. Such gripping feelings of emotion are threatening to overtake him
I can actually feel my insides darken with his need to end a wolf who is tainted with an incurable sickness.
Clayton is pulling with more strength, the steel bed shaking and rattling with the force of him trying to get free of his jailer’s cuffs.
His body trembles as his legs try to bend into a kneeling position. He just can’t doit as he falls against the mattress over and over again, not giving up until dark crimson blood saturates the last spot of white on those bandages. He’s grunting through clenched teeth, trying to get out of his confinement. He screams as soon as he accidentally flips over onto his back. The cover falls on the floor. I see my mate for the first time naked. I can’t look away from the sight before me. Dallas growls low in his chest as my eyes try to divert themselves from something I have imagined for such a longtime
Another scream echoes in the small room. He’s having a hard time breathing, trying to catch his breath, trying to flip himself back over. Dallas calmly stands to place a hand carefully underneath his hip to flip him back on his stomach. He pulls his covers back over his naked backside.
Kimberly’s screams match Clayton’s as he tries to muffle them with the pillow.
Kennedy’s legs give out, tumbling her to the ground hard. She’s crawling toward him, begging him for understanding, a chance to explain her actions. Crying on hands and knees. Pleading with her unbearable heart pain. He doesn’t answer her back. He shakes his head, yelling for everyone to get out.
He’s no longer pulling on the restraints. He looks immobilized with pain. I wonder if it’s physical or heartfelt that he’s feeling?
Dallas now goes to a drawer and pulls out a syringe and a glass vial. He cracks the lid open, putting the needle in and sucking out the clear liquid. Walking toward Clayton, he injects him in the shoulder, plunging its contents in his muscle.
Rimberly’s looking at Kennedy now, who’s on the floor. Her emotions are vomiting out for all to see.
“You left the door open.” Disbelief is so concentrated in a soft whisper that I can hardly hear it. I watch as this small juvenile pulls her arm up and punches her in the face, busting her nose wide open. Cash is on Kimberly instantly, picking her up. Clayton is trying to combat whatever Dallas has put into his system, but he’s no match for those drugs.
I take a step toward Cash, who has this little one in his arms, and my own darkness takes me over. A protection I have never felt before surges into my system. Dallas is on Cash faster than I can get to him. Picking him up by the scruft of his neck, he walks him out of the healing room.
“Get up!” I command Kennedy, whose hand is trying to stop the flow of blood.
“Make me.” Her words are flung right back in my face.
Dallas comes back, picks Kennedy up by the scruff of her neck. His claws are out, puncturing her flesh very slightly. He’s holding his great anger back, trying to contain what his nature wants him to docend her quickly without regret.
Going over to Kimberly, I walk her out of the mom as Clayton closes his eyes, not able to open them back up again.
He’s going to have so much time thinking about all the truthshe learned today.
Walking out into the parking lot with Kimberly, I watch the grey sky shed the first flurries of fall, shimmying down from the sky in their winter waltz. Two flakes of snow land on each hand. They say no two snowflakes are alike. I feel both tingle my skin, only to melt and disappear at the same time like they were never really there in the first place.
Luna Grace is standing next to Cash, whispering something in his ear. He just shakes his head no. Dallas has his arms crossed over his chest as it he’s restraining himself from Kennedy.
Her posture is straight back detlance, meeting the eyes of all the wolves who are circling around her.
“Do it!” she spits out to Cash “You can’t. You know why you can’t?” she tilts her head toward her mate with a sick smile on her face.
“Because you’re a weak little wolf.” Luna Grace is on her instantly. It looks so easy the way her hand wraps around Kennedy’s throat, lifting her whole body up in the air before slamming her hard against the ground, where the wind is knocked out of her lungs.
Teeth bared in a feral grin, Luna Grace allows Kennedy to see what she possesses.

“I have raised Cash since he was a small thought in my belly. I will not tolerate any more of your words against him. I don’t care when you are alone and fling those words in the privacy of your own home, but when I am around, I will not stand for it.” Iwatch the way her hand wraps around her ruined throat, squeezing tightly.
