LUKE
Pushing the plunger on the syringe, Kat's body instantly falls lifeless to the ground, and I barely catch her before her head thumps against the floor. I can feel the wetness of my tears streaming down my face as I cradle her body close to mine.
I sit on the floor with her lifeless body in my arms, thinking about all the ways I could have been avoided. I should have been stronger. I should have denied my father.
When my father handed me the syringe, I tried to deny the Alpha command that washed over my body, but I was not strong enough to resist him. With gritted teeth, I took the syringe from his hand and marched into the gymnasium, like the perfect little soldier I am.
If she had just come with me, maybe she and I could have talked to my father together. We could have made him see that letting her go was the right thing to do. But no, she fought against me. She doesn't want to be part of my world.
