I look toward the driveway, jogging down it to try and find my infuriated mate, who has stormed off to Goddess knows where.
I try to mindlink her only to be shoved out. Cursing under my breath in frustration before I start trying to follow her scent.
“If you let me out, I will be able to find her,” Maddox points out, but I ignore him, instead, using my senses. I try and pick up any sound or scent before hearing her feet on the dirt road off the driveway.
Catching up to her I call out, but she ignores me, making me chase after her, I grab her arm. “Where do you think you’re going? It’s nearly dark.” I jerk her to me, but when she turns to face me, her normal gold eyes flicker black for a second before she shoves me off, making me stumble backward.
Her emotions are dark and clouded by her anger as she stalks toward me before stopping like she suddenly came back to her senses, she shakes her head like she is trying to remember what she is doing before turning on her heel and storming off again.
“Let me out!” Maddox demands, wanting me to mark her, so it dissipates. Yet, watching her, I am beginning to wonder if maybe getting her angry might be the way to get her to shift. Maddox, reading my thoughts, growls at me. “Are you nuts? She bites us, she could kill us,” Maddox points out, not liking the idea.
I chase after her again, only this time I grab her around her middle, tossing her thrashing body over my shoulder. She knees me in the ribs and smacks my back with her fists, screaming for me to put her down.
When I don’t, she sinks her teeth into my neck, trying to sedate me as I do her. Instead, I chuckle at her annoyance when it doesn’t work. “Need your canine’s Love, your blunt teeth won’t do anything.”
“That’s not fair!” she snarls, thumping my back with her tiny fists.
“Gotta be able to shift for that to work on me,” I explain, when she flops back down on my shoulder before she bites my back, I groan, her teeth sinking into me, making me flinch. I growl at her before sinking my teeth into her thigh, and she shrieks.
“Don’t bite, and I won’t bite you back!” I scold her as I get closer to the front door. I place her on her feet, keeping a hold of her as I try to wrangle her into the house. Mateo opens the door as I shove her in before she becomes manic and turns on us.
“What did you do to her?” Mateo asks as she loses it again, her anger shoving her to the edge of her insanity like a switch flicked.
“Her eyes, watch her eyes,” I order Mateo through the mindlink as she thrashes before dropping her weight, I bend down to grab her, only for her to slip out of her shirt as I grab it, Mateo tries grabbing her legs, and she kicks him, sending him back into the hallway stand.
“Don’t know about her fucking eyes, but I’m pretty sure she just gave me a black one,” Mateo retorts, rubbing his face before blinking rapidly when she growls deeply. Something only shifted wolves can do, and I know I am right, the key to making her shift is to get her furious and bloodthirsty.
“She just growled, like properly growled not her normal kitty cat growls” Mateo points out as I try to hold her still, she is completely out of her mind, and I am half-tempted to mark her just to get her to stop when she drops her weight again, this time kicking me in the chest forcing me back out the door.
She springs to her feet, eyes darting around, except now they are onyx as she stalks toward me. Mateo grabs her around the chest and her arms, pulling her back when she throws her head back, headbutting him, making him let go. I rush toward her, only for her to lunge at me at the same time.
Damn, she is fast as she tackles me, taking my legs out before she lands heavily on top, knocking the wind out of me. Jumping to her feet, she runs out the door. Mateo shifts quickly before darting off after her, Maddox presses beneath my skin, wanting to be let out when I hear her skid across the gravel before coming to a stop. I get up, limping toward her while Ares cuts off her path.
Her eyes dart around, searching for an escape, before realizing she isn’t going to get anywhere with Ares or me blocking her. Every time she moves, Ares reacts by pushing her back the other way and cutting her off. Her breathing is getting heavier. Her chest heaves with each breath she takes, and I could feel her anger growing.
“Easy, Ares,” I caution him, it is like trying to herd a savage animal, and right now, that is what she is.
Kat realizes she isn’t going to escape either of us, so she decides to fight her way out. Running straight toward me before punching me, I catch her wrist, jerking her toward me.
“Close, but not close enough,” I tell her before shoving her away.
“You got a death wish?” Mateo asks, his voice flitting through my head.
“Nope, but I will make her shift,” I tell him as I block her kick to my side.
She growls, becoming angrier every time I block her. I grab her fist when she tries punching me again and yank her forward, only for her to lift her knee, and it connects with my stomach, making me double over before she uppercuts me.
“Fuck!” I gasp, not expecting it to hurt so much, I spit blood on the ground, my teeth biting into my tongue before charging at her only for her to sidestep, her leg snakes out, hitting behind my knee and making me stumble forward. Ares sits, his head cocked to the side as he watches her get the better of me. “Get up, she is kicking your damn ass, how embarrassing.” Maddox scolds.
