ZAIA.
I watch as Olivan rushes towards the window. The taste of betrayal stings strongly. Jai growls as
Atticus launches himself at Olivan who kicks him off, knocking the wind from him, and making Atticus
inhale the gas.
âAtticus!â I shout as Olivan pulls out a gun, but itâs knocked from his hold when Jai throws himself at
him.
âBastard!â Olivan snarls, throwing Jai off him with such power that Jai is thrown back. He hits the corner
of the table before crumbling to the ground.
I snarl as I run over to him. Weâve all inhaled enough of the poison, we need to get out of here.
Disappointed, pained, and absolutely stupid.
Thatâs how I feel. Anger rises through me, and I stand up, grabbing the chair and flinging it at Olivan,
who dives to the side. Heâs on his feet again and he pulls the trigger on Atticus, who dodges, kicking
his legs out from under him.
From the way Atticus moves, I can see why Sebastian always saw him as his rival in a way. Atticus is
fast and from the sound of something breaking, powerful as well.
I help Jai up when suddenly, a gunshot goes off and Jai throws me aside. My eyes widen in horror as
the bullet hits Jaiâs shoulder. âNoâ¦â I choke out, my eyes stinging. Iâve inhaled too muchâ¦.
You are not getting away. I turn my blazing gaze on Olivan, who rushes to the window, smashing
through it as he shifts mid-air. He isnât getting away with this!
I leap over the broken chair piece and over the table, shifting into my magnificent wolf once more. Just
like last time, itâs effortless and smooth and with my new speed and size, manage to claw into his back
just as he shifts and launches himself through the window.
Iâm about to follow but the moment I reach the window, something blocks it and I hit a wall, and am
thrown back, accidentally inhaling the acidic gas that makes my stomach burn agonisingly.
I glance at the window, realising the wolves outside have blocked it. I run at the window once again.
That wall will not hold me in! Jai is coughing and so is Atticus as they both try to break through the
door, which is also blocked.
âZaia! They will be waiting outside!â Atticus warns, his anger clear in his voice. âFuck it!â
I donât listen, unable to focus on anything but finding Olivan. Inside my own head, it feels like Iâm thrown
to the back of my mind, my own emotions a thousand times heightened and all I want to do is tear into
Olivan. To rip him apart and to make him pay for what he has done.
I launch myself at the window once again, my eyes blazing but the window is reinforced. I can hear the
beat of many hearts on the other side. He had it planned outâ¦
I simply gave him a few nights to plan this. I snarl as I slam into the metal barrier theyâre holding
against the entrance. The gas in the room is rising and I can no longer see the others.
I think one of them says they need to find the source through fits of coughs..
Iâm running out of timeâ¦
We are all getting weakerâ¦
âWe need to get out of here! I think the walls are thinner here!â Jaiâs voice says as he hacks into the
door that we had entered from. I hear him groan, and it only makes me angrier. The gas has stopped
filling the room, but itâs getting to us all.
Iâm not going to let him get awayâ¦
How dare he.
Olivanâ¦
This was their plan. Get us here and try to kill usâ¦
I see red as I turn to the walls of the cabin. Backing up to the other side, I break into a run, summoning
forth every ounce of my power.
âZaia! No! Sebastian will kill us!â Jai shouts, but Iâm too focused on my goal and I slam into the wall with
immense. force, hearing the cracking of the thick wood.
Again! I back up and run at the wall â faster, throwing my side into the wall and this time it splinters
completely and I burst into the open night sky. I take a gulp of clean air.
I see the group of wolves who are reinforcing the window a few feet away and I snarl at them before I
turn and scan the dark. I have no time for them.
Olivan is my target. I scan the grounds, searching for him, but I glance back at the exit I had created
and see Atticus and Jai both step out.
Atticus has now shifted and heâs attacking the wolves whilst Jai is still in human form, gun in hand. I
know he can shift, but itâs obvious he has more confidence in his human form. Whatever works for him.
Where are you?
I sniff the air, picking up the smell of his blood.
Youâre mine. I follow the smell, breaking into a run when I catch sight of Olivanâs wolf and rage flares
through me once more. Like a dimming fire that has just had oil poured upon it, rejuvenating it once
more.
âWe need to fall back!â Jai growls as he begins firing at the wolves, a few drop to the ground, but there
are too many. No, first I need to find him.
I continue running, my feet barely touching the ground. I close in on him fast, and several wolves
launch themselves at me, but I barrel through them, my aura like a shield around me, throwing them
back.
I have never been so angryâ¦
Heâs close, the thundering beating of his heart and my own become incessantly louder.
Heâs mine! My claws sink into Olivanâs back, and I rip through his flank. Satisfaction floods me and I rip
through him again. He lets out a howl as he stumbles, but I donât feel any remorse.
What am I doing?
Iâm unable to control my rage as I tear into him. Blood sprays over me and the smell fills my nose. It
isnât enough and Iâm ready to end him. How dare he try to betray me!
His injuries force him to shift back to human form and heâs now at my mercy! Other wolves are closing
in on us, and I only have a few seconds to think.
Iâm thrown to the ground, but Iâm not down for long. Within seconds, Iâm before him as he tries to
pitifully clamber away. I can see Atticus slashing into wolves just a few metres away from me. If I end
him⦠I will become the alpha of these peopleâ¦
But do I attack a man who is down? A man who betrayed me. The choice isnât hard, but I only have
seconds. A few seconds to either run or to kill.
I look down at the man on the ground whose eyes burn with victory, and I make up my mind. My heart
thumps violently as I raise my claws.
âNo⦠donât!â Olivan shouts.
Itâs too late for that.
âZaia!â Jaiâs panicked voice comes just as I tear into Olivanâs chest and rip out his heart. I feel the shift
of power as his life ends and I let out a thunderous roar, my glowing aura swirls around me and I shift
back to human form.
I feel the power within me strengthen immensely and the connection between the rogues and me
forming. Atticus reaches me, his wolf standing before me protectively as several wolves close down on
us.
âI am your Alpha! Submit or I will kill you!â I snarl the shocking words in a voice that I can barely
recognise as I hold up Olivanâs heart.â
Right now, I feel more like a beast than a human. This was a necessity to show them that I am the
Alpha. My heart is still thumping as the wolves come to a skidding halt, their gaze turning to Olivanâs
dead body on the ground. The realisation of what has happened sinks in.
I stand there, my hair falling over my face, blood covering my face and running down my body. The
entire forest seems to still and Iâm sure they felt the shift in power.
They look at one another, uncertain for a few moments before they bow their heads in submission to
me, shifting to human form.
âFor the Sable who I know are watching! Iâm ready. Stop hiding like cowards and face me. Letâs see
how powerful you really are.â I snarl into the dark woods around me.
I know theyâre here; I know theyâre watching and above all, I know they are biding their timeâ¦
I scan the area. The smell of blood, poison and smoke fills the air. There are several dead werewolves
scattered around and my heart almost stops when I see Jai on his knees, blood spilling from his chest.
Is he ok?!
My only consolation is that he is still upright, but we needed to be fast. My eyes blaze with anger, and
power as I fling Olivanâs heart into the trees.
And when I speak, my voice rings through the night sky, the goddess herself a witness to my words.
âYou want war? Then Iâll give you fucking war!â
