Matthew’s hands tightened into fists. “Leave,” he ordered.
Aaron stepped forward, his form shifting back into a human with an effortlesss change. He walked toward them.” What’s going on here?”
“None of your business.”
“I think it is my business when I heard Elaine screaming for you to let her go,” Aaron said. He glanced at her, half wondering why she hadn’t shifted at this point. Her wolf used to be stronger than Matthew’s.
Why was she hesitating now?
Matthew took another step forward. “You’re going to regret coming in here.”
“Don’t think so.”
Matthew lunged forward with a right hook. Aaron jerked backward just in time to miss it. He side–stepped, jabbing at Matthew’s center.
The two traded blows.
Elaine scanned the warehouse desperately. There had to be something she could use to help Aaron. This time, she couldn’t hold back even if it was her brother. Matthew needed to be stopped.
She spotted a crowbar.
Matthew and Aaron grappled with each other. The former striking Aaron between the ribs. Over and over.
Aaron grunted, but held firm, using his body weight to throw Matthew off center. He breathed heavily, clutching his abdomen.
“Aaron!” Elaine yelled. “Here!”
He glanced over his shoulder to spot what Elaine had picked up. Matthew had recovered, glaring at him. Then lunged.
Aaron bolted in the opposite direction, Matthew hot at his heels. He reached Elaine. Matthew reached him.
Without thinking, Aaron took the weapon from Elaine, swinging it around just as Matthew was going for his neck to try and pin him. The crowbar struck him in the center of his chest. The breath immediately left Matthew’s lungs.
He stumbled backward, then fell to the ground.
Aaron backed away, dropping the bar and it clanged against the stone floor. He breathed heavily.
Elaine looked from her downed brother over to Aaron. Matthew groaned softly but wasn’t getting up.
“Thank you,” she said.
