LUCAS
Challenge him. Rip him apart.
My wolf's snarling has occupied the majority of my short flight to White Peak, getting closer to the man who's tasted my mate in ways that he never should have.
My phone's off, because I don't know what I'll do if he calls.
The primal part of me is incensed, wanting to sink my teeth into his throat and tear it out, savoring every drop of the blood that spurts, content in knowing his soul has departed this world.
But the rest of me recognizes that Clayton is my friend and ally.
What am I supposed to do with all these fucking feelings tripping me up inside? Having Ava back is supposed to make everything easier. Make things simple.
In my absence, will she begin to doubt my words?
If she sees Clayton, would she choose me over him?
I don't have that confidence.
