“No. No other wolf can match Colton, and I won’t let someone die trying… he’s mine! I have to keep his focus on me. Carmen won’t be able to hold him.” He’s my mate, my responsibility and he would annihilate any other in the pack without breaking a sweat.

Carmen yelps out in a ringing blast as if proving my point, her whimper echoing from nearby and I turn in time to see her being tossed thirty feet in the air, like a ragdoll with no weight to her. She comes down to earth with a bone shattering thud, a slight tremble of the ground beneath my feet, which leaves her panting and whimpering, as internally things crunch and grind as her body starts to insta-heal. Unlike before when Colton’s attention always came back at me, this time he turns and heads to her for a second blow, before she’s had time to recover. My stomach lurches into my throat, knowing the killing intent across his face and her lack of seconds to get herself up.
