Chapter 48
The rage in him was indescribable.
He felt his own anger mix with Shadow’s as he barreled into Clare and clamped his jaws down on her hind leg just as she launched herself at Ava Clair’s father was a lieta, and Claire had taken after him, so she was almost as big as an alpha. She whimpered and tried to snap at him, but he caught her in the middle and tossed her the way she had done to Ava
Blood lust took over hun when he saw the bloost trickling down her for She had almost killed Ava Blood for blood. He didn’t give a shit when she whimpered and used to roll unto her stomach. Her submission meant nothing to him and Shadow. They were realy to finish Chire on the spot when several enemy wolves surrounded lum. His rage increaseil, and he knew the bloodbath wouldn’t end with just Claire.
He released the well’s throat and snarled in warning at jured’s pack and friends. They were no match for him, and they knew it. The stench of their Tear was heavy in the air as they took several steps back from ham. They were right to back off. They would share Claire’s fare if they took this kill

A small moan brought his attention to the fragile linte human on the ground, and his rage cleared a laude.

Aca moaned again. Her heartbeat was so weak, and the ground underneath her was already soaked with her blood. It brought him back to his senses faster than anything else could have,
“And then there will be no one to pr
no one in protect Ava if they take us away
That was enough to make Shadow release Claire because his mate’s welfare was his top priority. Shadow tossed Claire and rushed over to inspect her wounds while listening to her weakening heartbeat. Her life was slowly slipping away
He shifted quickly, uncaring that he was nakest among a bunch of enemy wolves as he put pressure on the wound on her stomach and linked Derek and Myles to bring the car urgently.
“What the fuck is going on here?”
He growled as fared approached with a couple of beers in his hand. There were all these wolves here, and none of them had been able to protect a linde human. Where hell had Jared been while this was happening?
“You had her here to protect her, and you’ve failed even thut,” he snarled as he urgently stemmed the bleeding.
Jared seemed to notice who was on the ground because he dropped the beers and rushed forward towards her. He growled and let Shadow take over, forcing Jared to stogi in his tracks. He was not buying this art. Had this been his plan all along Hurt Ava because he knew he had been hanging around her too much? Because he’d sensed him following her? Jared was playing a deadly game.
This is still my territory. Stand down and leave. I will take care of Ava,” Jared snarled.
“You can’t take care of anyone, and you fucking know that
Alight seemed to go out of Jared’s eyes for a moment before his anger replaced it again. But he didn’t give a shit about the asshole’s feelings, Jared was an incompetent Alpha and shouldn’t be allowed to be in charge of anyone.
“Nevertheless, you have come into my territory uninvited. You’ve broken the rules”
“Fuck the rules. She’s fucking bleeding out and you’re talking about rules?” he snarled as he saw Derek and Myles shove their way through the
He haratheil a sigh of relief that they had been so quick and had not hesitated to break the rules for him. He was sure Jared wouldn’t miss the oppertunity to make them pay for this, but he would worry about that later.
“Where are you taking hert“ Jated asked.

He took a last look at Claire as the lay whimpering on the ground. If she stayed in her woll form, she would be fully healed in a few hours. He hadn’t done nearly as much damage as he hail danight lie had. But her time would come. He was sure Shadow wouldn’t let this go. And that meant

The ride in the Infirmary was made in record time. He’d sat in the back seat with Ava and rushed her inside the moment Derek stopped the car.
