Liam had always said I looked good in red.

I didn’t need to kill her, but…

“Maybe I will.” I grabbed her throat with both hands, digging my thumbs into her neck where it was the softest. I couldn’t help but wonder if I could rip it open with my bare hands.

All that blood would gush and we’d be swimming in the warmth.

Even wolves bleed like the rest of us.

I was the wolf. “Don’t ever forget that.”

Helen chuckled and her arms fell, the sound of them hitting the ground heavy in this strange cocoon of darkness that made it feel like we were the only two people in the world. “Too bad I didn’t get to meet you sooner. I really could have used that advice three years ago.”

Another dominant omega. Someone just like me.

It made me hesitate.

“Do it,” Helen croaked. “Show me your teeth and claws before I show your alphas mine.”

I snarled and dug my thumbs into the hollow of her throat with my nails as hard as I could.

Now matter how hard I tried to deny it, I was my father’s daughter.

CHAPTER 45

Liam

My bond with Lucy faded away until there was nothing left and I felt all my hopes and dreams turn to ash. My sunflower was gone and I felt my sanity slipping away like sand through an hourglass.

Someone killed my omega. That was the only explanation for this sickening sensation filling my stomach until I thought I might just throw up. She hadn’t felt any pain, but our bond was gone.

What else could explain that other than death?

I reached up and ripped off my scent blockers, no longer caring if I ended up the king of nothing but bones. I’d turn them all to dust and search through the rubble until I found her because Lucy was the only one who could survive me.

The scent of oranges and sandalwood burst out of me like water in a dam and I could hear people choking all around me, their bodies hitting the floor hard enough to shake the foundation.

“Liam!” Cas grabbed my face and I suddenly remembered Lucy wasn’t the only one who could survive me, this asshole could too. “Liam, pull it back. We might need them to help us find her.”

My devastation paused and I stared into those psychotic blue eyes that gleamed in the darkness like my very own sun. A tiny shred of sanity came back to me and I did my best to hold back but I was freaking the fuck out.

Where the hell was our bond?

Overwhelming determination and fury flooded me but it wasn’t mine. I’d never know this was what Cas was feeling by the calm look on his face and that was enough to help me pull back more of my pheromones.

“We’re going to find her,” Cas growled, his eyes shining so brightly I could barely stand it, but there was something odd about them too. I could see fire.

The smell of smoke made me turn and I saw an actual fire climbing up one of the walls and sparks coming from one of the electrical outlets.

“Liam, look at me.”

I turned back toward Cas and it suddenly occurred to me that Lucy wasn’t the only one who could reach me when I was like this. Cas was grounding me, giving me the strength I needed to figure out what the fuck was actually going on instead of lashing out and killing everyone.

“She’s wearing a tracking device, remember?” Cas didn’t look at the fire that was growing faster and faster either. He didn’t react to the sounds of people shouting and screaming. He kept his eyes on me and nothing else. “I didn’t feel any pain from her, did you?”

“No. I didn’t.” I pulled back the rest of my pheromones, keeping them close just in case.

Cas nodded as he kept one hand on the back of my neck and reached down to pull his phone out of his pocket. It was truly amazing how calm he looked considering the fury burning me up inside.
