Violets POV:
My deep gray wolf stood opposite Evan’s gray brown form, silver–touched fur rippling with barely contained violence.
The overhead speakers crackled to life Final boarding call for Flight 847 to Northern Summit.”
Daemon’s transformation happened in a heartbeat–his massive black wolf Onyx materialized between us with earth–shaking force, red eyes fixed on Evan with predatory focus.
Evan’s wolf held Onyx’s stare for perhaps ten seconds. His golden eyes weren’t filled with battle–lust but rather the dull glearn of a cornered animal who understood the futility of resistance. Fear and resignation warred across his lupine features as his body began to tremble. His head lowered slowly, ears flattening against his skull in ultimate surrender, and the light in his eyes shifted to something that looked disturbingly like relief–as though some part of him welcomed this forced end to his revenge fantasy.
The shift rippled through Evan’s form in reverse, gray–brown fur receding to reveal bare human skin. He collapsed to his knees on the cold airport floor, hands splayed flat against the ground, every line of his body screaming defeat.
I felt Ember’s consciousness retreat as the immediate threat dissolved. The shift back to human form took only seconds. Felix stepped forward with a coat and I wrapped it around myself, watching as Daemon shifted back to human form, his transformation leaving him standing bare–chested.
Lily and Jade both shifted back, accepting coats from airport staff. Against the wall, Celeste remained slumped where Onyx’s attack had thrown her, blood seeping from multiple wounds, her broken arm hanging at a grotesque angle. Despite the agony wracking her small frame, her baby–blue eyes remained fixed on Evan with unhinged desperation.
The silence stretched for perhaps five seconds before Celeste’s voice shattered it Иke breaking glass.
“Evan!” The shriek that tore from her throat was raw, feral. “You coward! You/pathetic, useless coward!” She tried to push herself upright but could only prop herself against the wall, trembling with effort and fury. “After everything we planned, you’re just giving up?! You promised me! You said we’d make them pay! You’re letting that bitch win! Aurora would be ashamed of you! If you had just killed her when you had the chance-
“Shut up!” Evan’s roar cut through her tirade. He surged to his feet with unexpected violence, his entire body shaking with rage. `SHUT UP! If you hadn ! spilled everything like a complete idiot, we wouldn’t be in this mess! We could have kept lying! We could have kept going! But YOU–you just HAD to bag. HAD to gloat!”
Celestes expression twisted. “I did it for US! For our plan! To make them suffer-‘
“You stupid woman! The words exploded from Evan’s mouth with venom. His eyes began to glow with golden light, his wolf rising dangerously close to the surface. You don’t deserve Aurora’s heart! You’ve tainted everything she stood for!‘ His voice broke completely.
The silence that followed was deafening. Then Evans eyes began to burn brighter, the gold intensifying until it was almost painful to look at
The transformation was explosive, violent Evan’s human form shattered into his wolf in less than two seconds, gray brown fur empting across rapally expanding muscle. His wolf launched himself forward with a roar that shook the windows, massive paws thundering against the floor, golden eyes lacked onto Celeste with murderous intent
Celeste saw the massive form hurtling toward her and her eyes went wide with pure tenor She throw becself down and sideways, curlug into as tight a bail as her injuries would allow

aciers!
The collision was sickening.
Evans skull connected with the wall concrete support beam with a sound like a gunshot, a wet crack that echoed through the VIP lounge. Blood sprayed across the pale wall. The structural beam was reinforced steel–it didn’t give, didn’t bend. Evan’s body crumpled like a puppet with cut strings, his enormous weight dropping straight down onto Celeste’s huddled form. The sound that emerged from her throat was inhuman, a shriek of agony, before it cut off abruptly as blood fountained from her mouth.
For a moment, the only sound was Celeste’s wet, gurgling attempts to breathe. Then Ruby’s scream split the air.
