I smiled at the sound of that familiar voice the one I had begun to think I would never hear again.
Despite all my efforts to reclaim my wolf, 1 had started to believe she was lost forever. David had worked tirelessly to rip her from me, and for years, he had succeeded.
But now, he was about to find out exactly what he had feared all along,
My wolf was back.
And she was furious.
I could feel it–the bone–deep rage twisting through me, igniting every cell in my body. Heat flooded my veins, white–hot and all–consuming, as the shift began.
It had been so long. Too long.
Pain ripped through me, shocking and raw, and I cried out loud and unrestrained. The sound echoed across the desert, a primal, unearthly wall that sent a shudder through the air.
David’s grip loosened.
I hit the ground hard, gasping, but the paini barely registered. All I could feel was her. My wolf rising. Taking control.
David staggered back, his face twisted in shock and horror as he stared down at me.
“No,” he breathed, shaking his head. “This can’t be happening. You were never supposed to be able to shift.”
I wanted to answer. I wanted to mock the fear in his voice, to throw his failure in his face.
But my wolf had no words for the likes of him.
All she had was rage.
And the moment the transformation was complete, she unleashed it on David.
We–my wolf and I, one in the same–lunged.
David cried out in fear, stumbling back before he could regain his composure. But he wasn’t fast enough. We knocked him to the ground with crushing force.
He didn’t stay down for long. His own fury resurfaced as he lashed out wildly, his fist slamming into the side of our head.
It didn’t stagger us.
We were already moving, the fight so fast, so vicious, I could barely track our movements. I let go–gave myself over completely–let my wolf take control, her instincts guiding us with an ease I hadn’t known I was missing.
I had spent so long without her. So long thinking I was whole when I had been fractured. Maybe that was why I had clung to David for so long.
I hadn’t understood the emptiness inside me, hadn’t realized that it was the absence of her. That missing part of me had left a void, a loneliness I had tried to fill in all the wrong ways.

Not anymore.
I was complete now.

And more powerful than I had ever imagined.
David shifted into his wolf form, his dark fur bristling as his snarl tore through the air. The fight turned brutal- feral. Snapping Jaws, tearing claws, the sound of growls and yelps echoing across the desert.
Fur flew.
But no blood was drawn. Not yet.
David tried to run. Again and again, my wolf pounced, slammed him down, sent him crashing into the dirt. He threw us off, lunged, we dodged. Over and over, the same dance, until realization struck.
He was running for backup.
Coward.
if
He couldn’t face me alone, not when I was finally his equal. It would’ve been laughable if it weren’t so infuriating
had done to me all the ways he had made me feel powerless, all the times he had hurt
After everything
humiliated me—he ran..
Pathetic.
Far more than I had ever realized.
And when I thought of the way I had once loved him, it made me sick.
All the noise we were making was bound to draw attention
and
Alexander had to know by now that a fight was happening a vicious one at that. I hoped he wasn’t too worried, but the fact that I hadn’t heard anyone shouting from the building yet told me his own struggle was still ongoing.
I had to keep David distracted.
So that’s exactly what I was going to do.
We pounced on him again, tackling him hard, sending us both skidding through the dirt. A cloud of dust kicked up in our wake. We were maybe a dozen yards from the building now. I could see the four cars parked near the entrance–two of them were running now, their drivers waiting.
