When I was a scrawny little teenager, bullied by the entire football team, no one said a thing When she rejected me in front of the entire class, and they all laughed, no one said a thing. When my parents and grandparents died in a deadly plane crash caused by the company's negligence, no one said a thing. Even then, I never complained, I stayed focused. I graduated from law school and landed a job as an Associate in one of the country's best law firms. I found a woman undeserving of the life I created for myself and I gave her everything I had to offer, but it wasn't enough. When I found out she was sleeping with my boss, everyone laughed at me.

In one swift motion, he caught her by the neck, his grip unyielding. Lara snarled and thrashed, but Killian’s strength was overwhelming. “You foolish, useless wolf,” Killian growled, his voice dripping with disdain. “You think you can defy me and live?” With a cruel smile, he threw Lara against a nearby tree, the impact shaking the ground beneath us. Pain tore through me as I felt every blow she endured. Lara tried to stand, but Killian’s foot pressed down on her, pinning her to the ground. “You’ll learn your place,” he hissed. “Both of you.” My body began to shift again, the pain unbearable as Lara was forced back, and I returned to my human form.

And then, darkness consumed me.
