On another occasion, Nick wouldn’t stand a chance, but I was weak and
wound, had days I ate something or drank water, could barely get me
stand.
Nick squeezed my throat hard, taking my breath away. I
eyes, thrashing and trying to get rid of your painful squeeze. The
wolf approached his face to mine, shuddered at the sickly glow
reflected in his dark eyes, he opened a sly smile and
perverse.
— I’ll tell you a secret, she whispered, twisted her nose with her
disgusting breath. — Your damn wolves found our lair.
My heart took a leap of hope with your words, I tried
keep my face indifferent to that reaction.
— Jackson is coming after you— he continued, the jaw cracked. —
But when he finds you, it’ll be too late, you’ll be ruined.
It only took me a few seconds to understand your intentions
perverse, and when I finally understood what he was planning, I used the
remaining of my strength to struggle and try to hit it, Nick tore it
the strap of the dress I wore and my blood cooled.
— Take your filthy hands off me— I cried, trying to scratch it with
my nails.
Nick hit my head on the wall and I lost my senses, my body
gave in and he threw me to the ground, arched with the pain that ran through my
back when hitting the ground. The wolf wasted no time climbing on top of
me, and for the first time since the kidnapping, I was afraid of what
would happen to me.
Despair struck me as I felt her hand rise up the skirt of my dress and
when he touched my thigh, I felt like vomiting, nausea and
disgust to have the touch of that male in my body wrapped my
stomach. Nick used a knife to rip another piece of my dress
And when I tried to fight back, he shaved the blade in my throat.
— Be quiet, darling, or it’ll be worse— hummed with a smile
victorious open in the face.
Swallowed dry, my body trembled when he held me with more
force against the ground and passed the knife around my neck, making a
small cut, I felt my blood flow from the wound and Nick went to
tongue for the wound, I pressed my lips, disgusted.
I turned my face and tried to hold the tears, my eyes burned,
my throat tightened every moment that male was
about me. Nick tore another piece of my dress in it
moment a tear ran down my face, it wouldn’t stop, the
not to be killed. Nick was destined to ruin me, me
destroy, a fate worse than death.
Controlled my breath and calmed the panic, I needed to find
a way to stop Nick from continuing. I saw the piece of silver
that before was stuck in my ankle, with much effort,
I managed to release my right arm and stretched it enough to grab the
piece of silver sharp and without thinking twice, I stuck the silver in the eye
of Nick.
He let out a shrill cry and his blood splashed on my face, the
wolf let me go by taking his hands to silver stuck in his eye, giving me
the opportunity I needed to push you away from me,
Nick fell back and I got up quickly, almost tumbling by
weakness of my body.
I passed my forearm on my face, wiping the blood that stained
my skin and I kept until I stood before Nick, he pulled the silver from his
eye and almost vomited with the disgusting scene of his wounded eye, gushing
blood and a white smoke.
Nick kicked my injured ankle, I grabbed the chair to not fall again, I clenched my teeth hard by the intensity of the pain that radiated through my body.
— I’ll kill you— muttered furious, watching you get up off the ground, not so
fast enough to stop me from hitting him with a piece of iron
directly on the face, an object I found on the floor.
I bent my body for air, felt like shards of glass
pierced my lungs, still had wolfs bane in my blood and
when Nick licked my blood, the weed got into his system, the
weakening, stupid male. He stood up, his nose broken by
blow, saw with only one eye.
— You did not leave the lair alive, Hayley— he assured, raising the
fists at the height of the face.
I growled menacingly, displaying my elongated fangs,
my pupils dilated when the sharp claws tore the
tips of my fingers. My wolf, even wounded, granted me a
powerful part of his remaining vigor, invigorating my energies and
giving me the strength I needed to fight Nick.
— Do you really think you can beat me?— I let out a cold mockery laugh and
cold. — I will finish you— assured.
I moved my neck before I attacked him, aimed my claws in the direction
from his neck, Nick swerved with impressive agility and I
almost hit the wall, turned in time to prevent a dagger from
silver was stuck in my back, I hit your hand and hit a
elbowed in his face, the bastard managed to cut my leg
with the same piece of silver I pierced your eye with.
A strange laugh broke from inside Nick when he spat
blood on the floor, smiling at me with your dirty teeth from your
blood.
— Why are you laughing?
He licked his bloody lips.
— Even if you get out alive, you’ll never forget what I did with
you, how much I destroyed you.
I ignored the grip on my chest caused by your cruel words, Nick
Didn’t need to know how much you hurt me, hurt me, but neither
he, nor could anyone destroy me. I lifted my chin and hissed:
— I will never be destroyed.
I let my dominion flow from my body and hit him, Nick could
have more strength than me at that moment, but I was still a Pure,
was superior in dominance and would make him bow before my power. He
grunted when feeling the pain that my domain caused him, took his hands to
head, squeezing his lips.
— And you are nothing but a worm that I will destroy.
I walked up to Nick, limping around his bruised ankle and leg
wound, but I managed to raise my knee and hit his stomach, him
taking the air. I took that opportunity and bit it, stuck my
sharp fangs forcefully in your neck, plucking a piece of
flesh, spitting on the ground then. I held his shirt and threw it with
force on the wall, trapping it.
Nick kept trying to escape.
— Stop!— I roared in his face, the wolf froze in place upon being hit
again for my dominance, dared not move a muscle
not even, trapped in my domain.
— You can’t kill me— he managed to whisper, coughing up blood.
I let a mocking laugh slip away.
— Why do you think that?
— Because I know about the monster that dwells within you, Arabella
Labonair, on the power you fight to hide, cause that yeah
could destroy you.
My heart beat harder inside my chest, sweat flowed
by my temples. I fought the tremor that ran through my body and
I held the male’s bruised neck, growling in his face.
— You know absolutely nothing— I said hoarse.
Nick coughed up more blood.
— They will come after you for power in your blood.
— You’re bluffing!— grunting.
I stared at Nick, and deep in his eyes, I realized he knew, no
I wondered how he’d found out, but that could never be
revealed, never. I clenched her neck tighter, nailing mine
claws on the injured skin.
— You will be consumed by the darkness that dwells in your skin, and when
liberate this power, will be our ruin. Your destiny is to kill who you
love and it will destroy you.
I gave Nick no more time to live. I stuck my hand in his chest and
held the beating heart inside him, the smell made my wolf howl
inside me, hungry and wild.
— He did not choke on his own blood flowing down his chin.
— You betrayed your own people, Nick, worked with the strays, if
involved with the scum of our race and helped them kill and violent the
females, allied with our mortal enemy, the vampires. Their crime did not
is forgiven.
I clenched my claws in her heart, her body trembled in a hiccup.
— I tried to protect you.
My heavy breathing inflated my nostrils, I felt that fury
uncontrollable burning inside me, vibrating in my veins.
— You killed Victoria in cold blood, drowned her in the river because she had me
alerted and even pretended to mourn her death. And I imagine she was not the
only female to die by her hands.
— You are as bloodthirsty as I— he said, I clenched my teeth with his
indictment.
— I made a promise— my voice went dark, I did not recognize myself
at that moment. — I swore to Victoria that I would do justice to my
own hands, and promised that I would do everyone who hurt my
family burn.
I pressed your heart harder, your life was in my hands,
literally. And the feeling was strangely pleasurable.
— You, Nick, are sentenced to death for all the crimes you have committed,
for all the lives you took and especially for touching me. And that—
I clawed my claws into her heart. It’s for Victoria, for the females and for me.
He opened his mouth and whispered,
— I’m sorry.
— I do not.
Those were my last words before I pulled your heart and
tear it from your chest, a lonely tear ran down the face of
Nick when I released him and his body fell to the floor, dead. I looked at the
heart still beating in my hand, my fist was covered in
Blood, I opened my hand and left Nick’s heart on the floor.
Took a deep breath, calming the monster that roared inside me, licked
my dry lips, grimacing at the sores in my mouth,
staggered away from Nick. I felt the approach of Jack’s wolves
and gathered the rest of my strength and let out a howl that shook the
walls.
