New Weapon I

[Harper's POV]

"Very well done, but for better results, you should use the strength from your arm, with the momentum from your shoulders instead of your wrist," my mother critiqued with a finger tapping on her chin as she surveyed Dahlia's broken shin. 

In my ears echoed Dahlia's weak, breathless scream of pain thanks to my blow.

I didn't want to hit her in the face. Hell, I didn't want to hit her at all! Any plans that I had for revenge against Dahlia Elrod had her humiliated beyond belief and outcast from every pack, her reputation ruined beyond repair while I flaunted my happiness in her face.

Seeing her limp figure was just pathetic. I could beat her again, but I found no joy in it. But it seemed that my mother had joy aplenty for us both, and Gus was applauding me. 

"Good first effort though," Gus said cheerfully. "You still got the other kneecap to practice on."
