CHAPTER 64

  Amanda

  The power surged through me and I welcomed the transformation as the powerful wolf took over. I wasn't sure where Zale was, but I wasn't defenseless anymore.

  The ball in my mouth was bitten through and the leather straps tying it around my face were split from the force. Luke backed up but didn't look scared. He clenched his fist and his flames surged. A warning for me to back down.

  But my mate was close to me. Nothing would make me stop. I could even face HIM with the power of Ares at my disposal.

  "Stop right there," Derek ordered me. He shot out a plume of his ice blue flames and the caught me in an ever-shrinking circle. "Drop the transformation. It doesn't matter if you have back up, they'll still be outnumbered."

  "He's the Prime," I spat. "Your rightful master."

  Luke shrugged. "Did you forget that we were guardians to Primes? Do you really think that those wolves would accept protection from those lesser than them?"
