His Trouble Maker
Chapter 117
JESSICA
His skin gives. The blood hits my tongue hot, faster than I expect, and I push him off me before it settles–before instinct drags me deeper. He stumbles, hard, crashing sideways into a tree, breath knocked out, hands scrambling for something solid, something
that isn’t me.
Fuck.
What did I do?
My eyes widen and my breath catches while watching him stumble like his body’s been pulled loose from itself, knees folding hard and fast as his spine convulses once, then locks.
“Look at me,” I hiss, but i don’t even know if he can hear me, pupils blown wide, sweat slick across his cheekbones, lips pulled back in a half–snarl that he’s not even aware of.
His heartbeat is wrong. I can feel it. Fast, yes–but uneven. Staggering. I’ve been thinking of doing this for so long and now, it’s satisfying. Theo won’t die for it but he’ll be something else.

His eyes roll for a second, lids fluttering, pulse surging beneath the thin skin of his neck, and I press harder, fingers splayed, breathing with him now, one beat off, syncing as his blood tries to sort what it is–human, wolf, infection, me.
Because it’s mine now.
Theo’s breath comes in shorter bursts, throat tight, muscles clenching, and the sound of it scratches down the inside of my skull like static, something between pain and fury and change, and it doesn’t scare me, not anymore–it calls to me, feeds that part of me I’ve been pretending to choke out for the sake of keeping the others calm.
Grayson’s voice calls out in the distance.
Shit.
For a second, I don’t move.
For a second, we just breathe.
I glance over my shoulder, sharp, automatic, tracking distance, sound, threat–he’s near, maybe thirty feet, less–and if he gets close enough to see Theo like this, twitching in the dirt, eyes gone black and body caught mid–shift, he’ll know.
