And mindless fangs met flesh.

“No!”

My shout was useless against deaf ears.

Her eyes were wide with shock, tears no longer flowing. His fist was in her hair, blood spilling around them as he recklessly cut the leather strap of his muzzle with his knife. And his feral eyes were lightless as he sank his teeth into her neck.

“Thistle!” My voice cracked.

Shit.

Shit, shit, shit!

“Don’t!”I ripped my Alpha bark from oblivion, forcing myself to focus. My hand pressed against the wall as I tried to drag myself up. My head was split with pain.“Don’t accept that bite!”

Violet galaxies met my gaze, her lips were parted in shock, but there was something… relieved in them.

“No—!”

It was as if I could feel it when it happened.

The moment the bond lit between them. Rogue’s tense frame sagged slightly, and he curled against her, drawing her close against him, enveloping her into his huge body.

Thistle was panting, low whines filling the air with every exhale as she clutched him. Her body trembled as she squeezed her eyes shut, charcoal-black tears tumbling down her cheeks.

…My fault…

I got to unsteady feet, but as my shadow disturbed the light around them, I heard Rogue’s rumble of a warning growl. Mad teal eyes were fixed on me as he held her, lips drawn in a snarl.

His scent was charred; still, but settling. She was anchoring him.

A bond…

They… were bonded.

That was it.

I pushed myself up, numbness settling over me.

He’d taken her.

He’d taken her from me, like he’d taken so much…

I stepped toward the door, but I heard a scuffling, and then soft footsteps catching up.

“Don’t—”

My voice was rough as I cut her off before she started.

There was a trickle of blood down her neck and it was all I could see as she reached for me.

“Daddy…?”

I shut my eyes, taking a step back.

I couldn’t do this.
