I’d been here before. Vision blood red, my blood pumping fast and hot through my veins, exhilaration flooding every cell in my body. I was about to rampage. And all I wanted was to hear Justin’s screams and cover myself in his blood.
His excitement was the trigger. He was going to fight me.
I straightened, the anticipation almost too much to bear as my eyes tracked the subtle shift in his stance and the drop in his fear. Something had given him confidence, despite the shadows surrounding us. Something he believed could hurt me.
But all I saw was the challenge, and my heart almost burst waiting for it. And beneath it all was the simmering rage and that darkness feeding it.
My claws extended, and my lips stretched across my face in a smile I could not hide. Maybe I looked as crazy as I felt, because Justin’s confidence wavered. He took a small step back. No, that wouldn’t do. The fight was what I wanted.
The distance between us vanished. My fingers closed around his throat before he could shift, and I slammed him back into the sedan hard enough that he should have made a dent in it. The impact shuddered up my arm, but I barely felt it.
And the sedan remained intact; there wasn’t even a scratch on the door.
I glanced at it for a second before realising what was going on. I hadn’t seen it before because my vision was the same colour as the magic coating it. The haze shimmered over it like a halo. Dark magic, a protective ward. Another layer of difficulty added to the challenge. It made my heart soar.
I loosened my grip on Justin, ignoring him when he spluttered a he rushed away, thinking he could escape. I trailed my palm just over the passenger door, feeling the energy just beneath it. It was nothing like the red ooze that had covered the castle and my brother, nowhere near as powerful as the magic I’ syphoned from that pendant.
But it made my body shiver in anticipation all the same. How long would it take to destroy it and reach the man who thought he was safe inside it?
I met his gaze through the window. Aaron. The Carter boy who told his brothers I was insane and smiled like a robot during our ‘date.’ Rage blazed at me from his eyes, and not an ounce of fear. He would be a better challenge than Justin.
I would take his brother as an appetiser and save him for the man course.
I turned to see that Justin had only made it to the wall on the other end of the parking lot before the shadows made him freeze in his spot. Though terror bled from him in waves, that spark of defiance still burned in him.
Again, I moved so quickly that his eyes couldn’t track me until opped just inches from his face. His eyes widened His terror seeped into the air, and I inhaled deeply, letting it settle under my skin. It was thick and intoxicating, feeding that thing inside me that had led me here. The tension that had been lawing at me all night finally loosened.
“You can’t touch me,” Justin snarled. “You can’t hurt me at all. Even if your father said you’re going to be our queen, and you have this stupid dark magic, you’re still just a filthy omega, only to serve me”
His eyes glowed golden, and his wolf pushed through Even now he showed a reckless disregard for the danger around him. He didn’t want to submit.
“Just an omega,” I said with a chuckle, grabbing his throat again. Then let me show you what an omega can do
I felt the shift roll through his body. Bones snapped beneath my grip as fur burst across his skin. His claws scraped at my wrist, but slower than I was. Weaker than me. And that red haze shimmered over him, jolting into me like electric bolts. When the shift completed, I threw him across the lot.
He hit the ground and rolled, scrambling upright. Then he lunged immediately, desperate as he aimed for me.

I didn’t bother shifting. He wasn’t worth the effort.

He slammed into me, his jaws snapping for my shoulder. I caught him mid-air, my shadows already coiling out of my hand. They wrapped around his throat and hind legs and yanked him sideways. His body twisted before he slammed into the asphalt again, a sharp yelp tearing from his throat.
And that sound was better than a scream.
He staggered up and circled me, trying to find an opening that didn’t exist. Blood already seeped from his fur, but he wasn’t backing down. He lunged again, and I didn’t bother using my shadows as I grabbed his front paws and twisted him over my head in a move Mal would have been proud of.
When he stood this time, he whimpered, limping away from me Was that it? Was his spirit already broken? The whimpers were as good as the screams. I felt the wolf’s desperation as he lowered his head, offering his submission.
Behind me, an engine roared, and tyres peeled away. I glanced back to catch Aaron’s gaze as he turned out of the lot. He was abandoning his brother. There was no loyalty within the Carters. No backbone to back up their words.
My shadows didn’t move after him, because I hadn’t given the command. Aaron would be my next hunt. I’d let him believe he’d got one up on me. Perhaps his inflated ego would make that confrontation more enjoyable.
I shifted then. My clothes ripped from me as my white fur burst free, and I shook the ruined fabric from my body. My world sharpened, brightening more than before. Justin’s wolf whined again, his terror thickening in the air, tasting sweeter in my wolf form. His heartbeat thundered in my ears, and his body trembled. The red haze around him that was meant to protect him shimmered uselessly.
My shadows snaked towards him, crawling over him, over the magic, feeding on it until nothing was left. He must have realised what happened, because he lifted his head, and that spark of a challenge returned. The boy wasn’t going to go down without a fight.
I caught the telltale tension in his muscles before he lunged again. I met him head-on, my jaws clamping around his shoulder and bone crunching between my teeth. Only I was that much bigger than him that I bit deeper and wider than I expected. I tasted his blood instantly, and the rush slammed into me. This was it. This was what I’d been looking for.
When I threw him aside, he hit the ground and tried to run. My shadows coiled around him and dragged him back before he made it three steps. He clawed at the pavement, his nails scraping the asphalt, but I was already on him, pressing him down, my weight pinning him beneath me.
He whined desperately, offering his neck again, feeding that thing inside me. I lowered my head and closed my jaws around it. Not hard enough to kill, just enough to crush. His pulse hammered against my teeth, and his blood flowed freely.
The bloodlust surged higher. I shook him until his body went lip, but I didn’t stop. The urge to finish him built inside me. One more bite, one twist, and it would end.
Mine. This kill was mine.
I lifted my paw, my claws extending to his chest. And then a han grabbed me by my scrutt. I turned and snarled, ready to tear into the enemy that dared to interrupt my hunt.
Hunter.
The bond snapped tight, and recognition cut through the haze his scent wrapped around me, grounding me. But the hunger st

His voice was rough, his emotions barely contained. His eyes bled red as he fought hunger that echoed my own. I held his gaze while Justin’s heartbeat fluttered weakly beneath me. I coul end it even before Hunter reacted.

But the edge was already fading. The red was bleeding from my vision. The high had settled, spreading through my limbs. like warmth.
1 stepped back, releasing the useless, barely conscious Carter boy and watched as blood pooled beneath him..
When I shifted back, blood dripped from my mouth and covere my body. The cool air hit my skin and brought my mind back to the moment. Justin wasn’t dead, but I felt more balanced Satisfied.
I glanced up at Hunter. His chest rose and fell, my release echoing inside him. The front of his sweatpants was tented, and raw need radiated off him in waves. That need was also echoed me.
Maybe I could-
My body tensed before I could take a step towards him. Someone was coming. I ran back into the shadows just as a Bureau SUV drove into the parking lot. Justin was barely breathing when they lifted him into the car, and I watched without interest. He would live. Or he wouldn’t. It didn’t matter to me anymore.
I turned back to walk home, still hiding in my shadows. Hunter stayed close, but I didn’t look back at him. The bond hummed softly, calm for the first time since he marked me.
The apartment felt too quiet when I stepped inside and locked the door behind me, ignoring the man who stood on the other side. I went straight to the shower, letting the hot water wash Justin’s blood away. It spiralled down in thin red lines.
I waited for the guilt.
It didn’t come. There was no shaking, no nausea, no replaying the sound of breaking bones. Just a nice, peaceful silence in my head. I liked what I’d done. I liked the thought of Justin’s life in my hands. I liked how clean it was. It wasn’t about Justin or the blood. It was the control.
When I settled back onto the bed, dawn was already breaking. My fingers curled slightly against the pillow. Next time, I wouldn’t stop halfway.
Somewhere deep in the bond, something answered me. It wasn’ Hunter, it was something much darker. Something that was already a part of me.
