The girl's eyes met and with each tear that slid down Elizabetta's face, Laretta felt as if it branded her heart. Suddenly, she couldn't take it any longer as a fierce growl rumbled throughout the room, stopping Rhett instantly.
His eyes darted towards the cell, shocked and surprised. But then a smirk played across his lips. He could sense the power he knew that was in her, coursing heavily through her veins. Soon, he would be the most unstoppable creature alive.
Before he could blink, Laretta shifted. A large silvery gray wolf stood locked in the cage, her eyes narrowed in on him. The hatred and anger he could plainly feel rolling off of her caused him to blanch for a moment. Rhett thought that he could handle her. After all, he had managed to keep her for several years when she was younger. But Rhett made the mistake of underestimating Laretta.
Every memory of her life had been returned to her, every spell that her mother had taught her. A howl tore from her mouth as Rhett began to scream, stumbling backward as fire began to consume his body. His fingers tore at his body, trying to rid itself of the flames that ate away at him. But Rhett only succeeded in helping the flames as he tore deep gashes into his skin, his blood covering the wall behind him.
Laretta's eyes were solely focused on Rhett's body as she growled louder. Rhett's screams seemed to intensify before he dropped suddenly, not moving. With a huff, Laretta turned her gaze to a shocked Elizabetta. Before either of them could do anything, Laretta collapsed, her body shifting back as she fainted.
