He shouted as I slashed them across his chest, my wolf howling in victory.
But I didn’t give her a chance to celebrate, instead shadowing behind him to claw at him again. Then I disappeared from view entirely to shred my own clothes, the movements fast and masked by my stealth abilities.
Then I fully shifted into wolf form and lunged at the enraged Vampire Alpha.
He tried to snatch me by my shoulders, but they weren’t the human ones he’d anticipated.
His eyes widened just as I caught his throat between my jaws.
Fare’s arms instantly came around me, his strength threatening to shatter my bones, but I wouldn’t let go of his neck. I had to destroy him. Kill him.End him.
Lorcan was shouting in my mind.
But I couldn’t hear him over my animal raging.
Bones cracked as Fare fought back in earnest, his much larger size playing to his advantage. But I had a death grip on his throat, and I wasn’t letting go. No matter what.
My wolf shook her head, treating his neck like a chew toy while he crushed our sides. I couldn’t breathe, but neither could he. Blood poured into his throat, audibly choking him.
Ribs punctured my lungs.
My spine threatened to snap.
But my animal and I held on, determined.
Until finally we heard acrack.
One that ended in Alpha Fare’s arms slowly falling away from our body. Everything hurt. I still couldn’t breathe. My vision was darkening. But I had to remove his head. Had to sever his neck. Had tofinish this.
I released his throat just to chomp at him again. And again. And again. Until I could no longer see. No longer focus. No longerfeel.
He’d better be almost dead,I thought, delirious. Alone. Drowning in… in blood.Hisblood. From biting his throat. I just needed to burn him.
Light a match.
Sink the ship.
Kill him.
I shuddered, the world going cold around me. The opposite of a fire.
Because there’s no air here.I tried to blink open my eyes, to process my surroundings. But there was nothing to see. Nothing to sense.
Nothing… at all.
CHAPTERTWENTY-EIGHT
LORCAN
Kyra!I shouted, my wolf raging inside.
She wasn’t responding.
There are too many fucking boats out here,Cillian snarled into my mind.This is going to take forever.
I ignored him, already shadowing into each one, my nose leading the way.
Kieran followed my lead, doing the same, leaving the X-Clan Alphas to investigate on foot. It would take too long to shadow with them.
