I’ain He’d tried talking to me multiple times, but I’d been so focused on Eve I couldn’t reh ht Eve by surprise and sunkmy head back and forth, I tore a chunk of skin away fro it out Eve roared and she and Jere ontobetween their teeth, causing ht of the wolf on ht onfros, Adam had taken over with Jeremy Adam o times the size of his opponent, but that didn’t stop the na&iu he could best an alpha Eve’s citrine eyes widened, not expecting Adaed her de some fun Now her murderous intent was as clear as day, and I was her sole focus
Racing toward rowls, snarled teeth, and focus She barreled into ht train Our bodies were intertwined in paws kicking forward and ray fur I could reach Eve yelped but bit ot my teeth around her rasp I was in a fury of vengeance, sprinting after her It wasn’t until I was yanked back that I realized there wereover my shoulder, Joe held me by the tail I bobbed er died and I searched for Ada, Jereainst the road and his throat was ripped out
My eyes traveled to the left Asher held Eve by the throat, waiting for Adam’s command As Ada until he had to look away Clasping Eve’s throat, Adam yanked his head to the side and Eve’s body collapsed It was a how quick he’d ended their lives when I’d had trouble just keeping up with the, I rushed toward Chelsea I exa and the third on her hip
"Chelsea…Che lsea wake up" I tappedwhen she didn’t respond, I checked her pulse It was steady and strong I released a relieved breath that she passed out Untying the rope, I lay her body down, hating that she went through this because of me
"It’s not your fault," Adam said from behind me
I couldn’t turn around, ashamed he had to rescue ht on his behalf
"Look at me, Anna"
When I didn’t turn, Adawild across his face I expected him to yell, scream, and tell me how stupid I’d been to disobey his orders I bracedto tuck
No harsh words cah; Adam’s arms encoot who I was and what had just happened The surrounding wolves released celebratory howls, their excite my heart with pride For the first time in my life, I didn’t fear the future or the ue

When I’d complained that I had Eve and could have killed her myself, if for no other reason than to save face, Joe happily res, or wolves rather I reed with him As much as I would’ve loved to be the one to kill Eve, the i was she was now dead and wouldn’t be able to hurt anyone else
The hts had broken out inside and ruined some furniture, walls, and electronics Ada on it non-stop The leaders all apologized, even Nicholas, about al roup again, leaders or not All but Wade left a couple days ago
Anthony fled and though Ada back, I wasn’t so sure He did love Eve after all and his brother had killed her
As for me and my dislike for humans, Wade had taken me to town to test a theory of his I’rowl or bite one person that day The humans didn’t even bother me anymore When I asked Wade why, he’d replied, "It was Eve’s hatred bleeding through your link the entire time" Since Eve had turned ht of them as my own Yet another reason to celebrate her death
Chelsea received some nasty bites, but she survived and now shared the same affinity for the moon as the rest of us I suspected she was the reason Wade hung back He’d been pretty affected by her at their firstI still felt horrible that I was the reason for her turning hairy every full moon, but she took it a lot better than I expected In ti part of our pack just as much as I had
