Page 116 of My Forbidden Alpha

We can just end this now. I will end this.

I hunch down ready to rip Zidane’s head off when Cade, who is clearly injured, barrels into Elijah, knocking him off Zidane just as the door bursts open and several other wolves burst into the room, rushing to their Alpha. Zidane gets up and backs away.

I can’t miss this chance. The men who enter all shift, circling Zidane protectively.

No, I will not lose this fucking chance. I can’t. There are people here counting on me.

I growl, my Alpha aura rolling off them, making them hesitate. I see them hesitate. They can feel the pressure of another alpha’s threat, even if Zidane is their Alpha.

I can feel Zidane’s eyes burning into me. I glance at him, his manic smile that seems to be frozen on his face and has not once faltered remains. Even as I launch myself at him, knocking past his men and ripping my claws through his chest, he remains maniacal.

I will kill him!

Rage that has festered within me for years fuels me as I push aside the wolves that are growing in numbers, my eyes fixated on the man in white. Even with blood dripping down his chest, he welcomes the chaos. Unbothered by the pain, he simply stares at me as if seeing me for the very first time.

Two wolves lunge onto my back and Elijah, who is fighting four others, throws them off as he rushes to assist me.

We need to leave!

No, I almost have him!I shout back.I need to end this now!

I rip through a wolf, killing him as I get closer to Zidane, who simply stands and watches with such confidence it makes me uneasy. More and more wolves are joining, and the room is growing tighter making it harder to get closer to my target.

Elijah kills another two, tearing into the third.

RED!

It’s too late. I see the woman burst from the throng of wolves stabbing me with a syringe. Pain tears through me.

Wolfsbane…

Elijah snarls as he bites into her waist, shaking her body violently before he crushes her bones, tossing her to the ground like a rag doll.

I crumble to the ground, my body forced to shift back to human form.

“Fuck,” I groan, feeling the wolfsbane burn my insides; it feels like an inferno is building within me. I try to push myself to my feet, my vision swaying. I can see Elijah fighting the wolves, growling, his Alpha aura weighing down on them. But their own Alpha’s orders are stronger, and they show no care for their own lives.

I guess failure under Zidane means death, anyway. They will fight for him until they die or until Zidane is dead.

I glare up at Zidane, who now grabs me by my arm, dragging me to my feet.

This is my chance!

“You are mine.” His voice echoes in the room like a sinister promise of doom as his canines elongate.

My claws can do more harm, and after his declaration earlier, he needs me alive.

But just as I raise my arm, ready to claw into him, he pins me tightly, his fingers digging into my face, and I tense, ready for him to rip into my shoulder.

Elijah

I struggle torip through the throngs, needing to get toScarlett as Zidane holds her tightly. I don’t think he’ll kill her if he needs her, but he could hurt her.

Just as they come into view, Zidane’s arm pins hers, as her back is to his chest, his other hand pressed over her face as he keeps her in place as she struggles to free herself but what makes my blood run cold is where he’s looking.

And that’s when it hits me, my eyes widening in horror as I realise he’s about to do the unthinkable.

I rush forward, fear like never before enveloping me, but even then, unless there is a miracle, I won’t be able to reach her in time. Her scream of anguish fills the air. I watch helplessly as Zidane viciously rips into her creamy neck, where her mate mark would sit.
