Chapter 12

“Kas? What's going on? Talk to me, Baby,” I urge as her eyes flicker from black to purple to black.

She looks straight at me, eyes turning back again, and gives me an angry snarl. Her fangs and claws extend as the snarl turns into a deep growl. She crouches all fours with a pained expression.

“Lex? Lex, it’s Bronx. What’s wrong with Kas?” I put my hands up, reluctant to get too close to the angry wolf trying to take over Kas’s body.

I watch as Kas struggles to take control, but itisa losing battle. Her flickering eyes look wild and out of control. I have never seen her like this. I’m not sure how to react.

“Delilah, get out of here!” James warns, as he puts himself between his mate and Kas.

Delilah is staring slack jawed at her best friend’s internal battle when James’s voice startles her out of her gawking. She grabs her bag and scurries out the door, closing it behind her.

“Lex, no!” Kas’s yell turns into a howl. Before James or I can react, Kas begins to shift. Her clothes rip away from her body as she expands and grows. Black fur sprouts from her skin. Where Kas was just crouching on all fours, her giant black wolf is now standing, trying to get her footing on the hospital bed.

I look in awe at my wolf mate. I always forget how stunningly beautiful she is with her jet black fur and violet eyes. Even in wolf form, I can still smell Kas’s fresh rain and lilac scent. It’s strong, just a little muskier and completely intoxicating. As I admire my beautiful wolf mate, I can’t deny the urge to be closer to her. I lean forward and slowly wrap my arms around her, burying my face into the thick fur around her neck. I feel her lean down and give the side of my neck a quick lick.

“She’s so beautiful,” Saint swoons.

“Tell me about it,” I agree, getting lost in Lex’s ebony coat.
