Everyone in the room hit their knees, and I had barely released half of my power. Disappointing. I let my eyes shift to the golden hue of my wolf and I stepped up to Derek, lifting his face with my claw. "How does it feel to be the bitch in the room, Derek?"

Derek was turning purple as I dropped him. He fell to the floor in a heap of wheezing. Brandon came to my side and grabbed for my hand. But I flashed him a look. Nix pushed forward, sending her voice through my lips. "My human might like you, pup, but I will not allow you to interfere with this."
