Mine, she threw back at them. Clawing some eyes out sounded like a good plan to her wolf. These two had tried to take what was hers. Never again.
Before she could show them how serious she was, more wolves and men entered the warehouse. The new arrivals surrounded all of them.
Hanna’s wolf stood on alert.
“They’re with us,” Derek said. “We brought some reinforcements.”
The two women shifted then, seeing that they were outnumbered.
“We didn’t do anything to her,” Abigail said, holding her hands up. “Look at her. Not a scratch on her.”
Constance shook her head. “You are such a suck-up, Abigail.”
“Didn’t hurt me?” Hanna asked. “You mean before or after you two dug holes in my shoulders?”She snarled at them.
Kyro rumbled out a groan. “You dare lay a hand on our mate?”
“She wouldn’t be your mate if she was dead,” Constance said.
A man stepped forward and glared at the women. “What’s wrong with you?” he asked. “You can’t be this stupid.”
“We deserve Alpha mates, Jaston,” Constance said. “Father said so.”
“He’s in on this, too?” Jaston shook his head. “I should have known. You’re just as deluded as he is. I’m ashamed to call you my family.”
Hanna didn’t have time for this. She needed to be beside Riana. She padded over to her, her muzzle nudging her sister.
Shifting back was simple, and she didn’t waste time reverting back to human. It was easier than when the wolf took over before.
She kneeled over sister and didn’t know she was crying until the hot tears poured over her cheeks. Once they started she couldn’t stop.
A blanket went around her followed by an arm.
“I’m so sorry, love,” Derek said.
“I came back here for her.” Hanna choked the words out. “To save her. I failed.”
“No,” Kyro said. He’d shifted back and placed a comforting hand on her. “Don’t say that.”
Hanna sniffled and shook. “It’s true. She was all I had.”
“Never,” Derek said. “Not anymore.”
Kyro nodded. “You have us.”
A small comfort warmed her insides, but as much as she loved that they were there. It couldn’t fill the hole that widened with her sister gone. How was she going to go on without Riana?
A small sound of breathing reached her heightened hearing. It was faint as if the person struggled for it. If Hanna had been just her previous witch self, she wouldn’t have caught it, but the sound was there like a tiny echo. Her wolf picked out slight my movement in the corner of her eye.
A man kneeled on the other side of Riana. It took a moment for her to recognize Linc Keller. He didn’t look the same in jeans and a t-shirt as he had in his medical clothes.
“Do you hear that?” Linc asked. He leaned over Riana. “She’s still breathing. Barely but she’s alive.”
“Riana?” Hanna rushed closer to her sister. “Can you hear me?”
Was it possible? Could her sister be alive?
“We have to do something,” Linc said.
