I link her to meet me.

She was hesitant at first, which is unlike her. But moments later, she appears. Seemlingly happy about the blood splatters on my shirt. “You wanted to see me?

‘I've been thinking about what you have said.”

“Oh?” She flutters her eyelashes at me. “Have you realised she is not the one for you?”

“I have thought about a lot of things since your return.

Her fingers immediately go to her hair, twirling a strand of it as she focuses on me. “I knew it, Dane. I knew she wouldn't be enough for you. I knew you just felt sorry for her.”

“But that’s the issue, isn’t it. 'm mated to her. I can’t do anything with you while I'm mated to her. I can't kiss you. I can't run my tongue over your sweet skin. I can’t claim you and I definitely cannot fuck you.”

Her brow dips a little in confusion, “Is she not dead?

“Now how would you know about that. Veronica?

“LoL

“So it's okay for you to stutter but not Neah?” I had heard Neah's thoughts on the interaction Her eyes widen as she tries to back away.

“Oh no. Not this time.” I grab her shoulders, holding her firmly in place. “I told you, desperation doesn’t look good on you. I warned you to stay away from Neah.”

“You owe me!

“No, not anymore.

Lifting her off the ground she kicks and screams. Fighting to get out of my grip. “Dane please, I did this for us.” “There is no us. If you had just left things alone, I wouldn't be taking you to fight for your life.”

“Please, no. We protect our own, she isn't one of us!” She screams out

“It's like you said, Veronica. You needed a pack, but we didn’t need you.”

I drop her at the edge of the forest where many of my people had already shifted into Wolves and are eagerly waiting. “No, please Dane.”

“You made Neah suffer, I think it’s only fair you get to suffer too.”

Tears are running down her face. “I'm sorry. I won't do this again. I won't. I will leave. Please!This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Run!”

I take a step back, removing my shirt, watching her slowly turn to the forest. “Thirty second head start.”

“I'm sorry.”

The others are growling at her, digging their paws into the soil as they hunched down, ready to pounce.

She backs away into the forest, running as fast as she can. I could hear her gabbing as she moved, she doesn't's Shift and sticks to running? on tworfeet. She most likely knéw ther@was not a single hope ¢ of her getting out of this. Content'belongs 4

Shifting into my Wolf. I walk back and forth in front of the others. They had all been chosen to hunt now because they would be on duty during the pack run, keeping an eye on Neah.

As soon as I give the go ahead, they charge ahead-of me, quickly picking up Veronica's scent. Theirlegs =X power over the uneven ground, SS quickl¥turning when her scent-> moves in a different direction cowsd still hear her and already knew that she wouldn't make itfar.

I'm quickly linked to say that she is surrounded. I could hear her begging them as I slowly made my way towards them. Piece by piece.’ Aero growls

Veronica's face is stained with tears. The mud in her blonde hair suggested that she had tripped over at some point. Her eyes move between all of us as she begs for her life. It wouldn't make a difference, her death is certain.

I give the Wolves the go ahead.

They lunge at her like they would a deer or a stag Her screams filled the forest agthey began tearing flesh fropMier bones. It doesn't take long for Her screams to become> silenta’s her heart stops beating. Her eyesvare frozen wide as they? continue ripping her apart! hoped that in her final moments? she felt the pain that she put Neah in.
