Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 586: Love For Violence

He hadn’t drunk Roman’s venom these couple of days for nothing!

Asher didn’t wait for Dominic’s sudden lethargy to be noticed by the crowd. He moved instantly, slamming into him with the full weight of his black wolf. Dominic hit the ground hard, and Asher began to claw at him relentlessly, strike after brutal strike, giving him no room to recover.

"What?!" Marlow shouted, his face going pale. "What’s going on?" He had been so sure Dominic would win. This wasn’t right.

Dominic tried to fight back, but his limbs felt like lead, heavy and unresponsive. Terror flashed in his amber eyes as realization sank in. This wasn’t normal. He thought he had been clever by taking the red pill to guarantee victory. But someone had been smarter.

The whine that tore from Dominic’s throat was almost human, as if he were crying out in disbelief. Asher didn’t give him time to drag this out or let anyone suspect what he had done.

With one final, savage move, Asher lunged and sank his powerful jaws into Dominic’s throat. Blood spurted, hot and metallic, coating his muzzle. Dominic howled in agony, his body thrashing beneath Asher’s hold. But Asher didn’t let go. His jaws locked tighter as he pinned him down, pressing his paws against Dominic’s chest, forcing the life from him.

The brown wolf’s struggles weakened, then went still. The light in his eyes dimmed, and finally died.

A beat later, his body shifted back into human form. Dominic lay lifeless in the dirt, eyes frozen wide in horror as though, even in death, he still couldn’t comprehend how he had been outplayed.

Then Asher shifted back into his human form.

He looked like something dragged straight out of a horror movie — standing naked before the crowd, his skin streaked with dirt and blood, his mouth smeared crimson. Blood dripped from the deep wound Dominic had carved into his flesh, tracing dark rivers down his torso.
