Chapter 161

-Maya's POV-

I lunged at Miranda, my body a blur of motion. Every muscle in my body screamed with exertion as I closed the distance between us. My claws extended, sharp and deadly, ready to inflict pain. She met my charge with a feral growl, her eyes glinting with a mix of rage and fear.

We collided with a force that shook the very foundation of the building. Our bodies were a whirlwind of claws and teeth, each strike an evidence of our hate for each other. I felt her claws rake across my back, but the pain was a distant sensation, a mere inconvenience. My focus was singular, to overpower her, to beat the crap out of her.

I drove her back, my strength undeniable. She stumbled, but regained her footing with surprising agility. Our battle raged on, a brutal dance of survival. We circled each other, our eyes locked in a deadly duel. With a roar that echoed through the room, I launched myself at her again.

Our bodies collided with a sickening thud, sending us crashing to the ground. We wrestled for dominance, our limbs intertwined in a desperate struggle. I bit down on her shoulder, my teeth sinking deep into her flesh. She let out a painful howl, but her grip on me tightened.

We rolled across the floor, a tangle of limbs and fur. The air was thick with the scent of blood and sweat, the taste of iron filling my mouth. I could feel my strength waning, but I refused to give in. With a final surge of power, I managed to break free from her grasp. I stood over her, panting heavily, my body aching. She lay on the ground, her body still, her eyes closed. I hesitated, unsure if she was merely injured or if I had dealt the fatal blow.

But then, her eyes snapped open, a flicker of defiance burning in them. She lunged at me, her movements surprisingly swift for someone so badly injured. I was caught off guard, her claws raking across my chest. Pain shot through me, but I refused to show weakness.

We circled each other, our bodies heavy with exhaustion, the air thick with the scent of blood and sweat. The battle had taken its toll on both of us, but neither of us was willing to yield. With a final, desperate surge of energy, I launched myself at her, my claws outstretched slamming her into the ground. The world was a blur of motion, a cacophony of snarls and growls. I could feel my strength waning, but the thought of defeat spurred me on. I had to win this.

I wrapped my arms around her, tightening her in a hug, and her blood poured all over me. She knew it. I knew it. She would not heal fast enough from that spot, and I really had not meant for it to happen. She tried to struggle still, but I tightened my hold until she just started crying in my arms while more blood poured out, coating us both. "It is going to be okay," I whispered, tears falling from my eyes. "It is going to be okay, I promise." The lie stung my lips, and I held her until the crying stopped and her body stopped moving. I closed my eyes, tears spilling down my cheeks. I just stayed there for a while, holding her in death, hoping she would finally find peace. Then I slowly placed her on the ground. I stared at her now-empty eyes
