Chapter 61 – The Wolves

“I closed my eyes, tried to get as far away from myself as I could.“–Catherine Lacey

Have you ever had to wrestle a bear to the ground? No? Consider yourself lucky, then.

Have you ever had to wrestle your feral mate to the ground? Wouldn’t recommend it.

Never in my life would I’ve expected to be called through mind–link to restrain my mate from slaughtering her parents. The sudden urgency in Valerian’s voice as he took his son back to his room in his arms told me everything. Screams and shouts reverberated through the walls of the room, making a sudden commotion seem louder than stadium roars.

“I hate you! I HATE you! You never loved me at all!”

Droplets of red stained the primeval tiled floors, seeping deep into the crevices. I’ve witnessed a smaller–than- average wolf use her fists to bash Steven’s face into a bloody pulp. She was like a machine on autopilot

without an off switch.

“You ruined my life! You’ll pay for everything you’ve done to me!*

Raina held her shaking mother in her arms as she screamed for her mate. Purple healed on her skin, but slowly. Steven didn’t fight back, the most he did was try to restrain Kiya’s vengeful hands but failed as she continued to deliver her fury through the assault.

“I want you to die! You took my light, and I will take your life!”

I couldn’t let Kiya do this! Her rage was enough to tear the earth to its core, but I couldn’t let her kill her parents. Once she crosses that line, there is no return. As much as her anger pulsates through her body, she’ll come to regret what she was done.

I cannot allow her to fall into the same darkness I had. She should’ve taken her rage out on my father and me. We’re the ones who hurt her the most.

When I tackled the woman to the ground, fear struck my heart. Not because I might have hurt her, but I’d realize how terrifying she could be. Eyes glowing, piercing javelins into my soul–the color blue frightened me. Kiya’s strength was inhuman, different from a wolf’s strength. Fighting to restrain her was like holding down at rapid, all–powerful Alpha with nothing to lose. Jaws snapping, nostrils flaring, and claws marking deep red lines in my forearm.

Was I like this? Was this how she saw me back then?

“Let me go! I will kill them! I will kill everyone that has ever hurt me!”

A grave threat like that earns a stay in our ‘hospital‘ dungeons. But this was different. Kiya was not speaking

from a place of genuine hatred.

“She’s in pain…” Onyx whimpered at the sight of our mate. “I can’t reach her wolf! She’s blocked her off completely! Comfort her, goddamnit!”

That explains it. Without her wolf, Kiya couldn’t manage her emotions. Her other half couldn’t reason with or tame her. She was worse than a rogue. “Kiya, snap out of it! This isn’t you! Come back to your senses!” 01:31
