“Maybe if she saw him, she could help. Maybe use her light ball.”
“She has no control over it, Knox. She’s a liability. We can’t risk it. She’d likely kill him and I could never forgive myself or her.”
The hair on my arms stands on end as tingles move across my entire body.
“What the fuck is that?” Knox says and then looks at his feet. “Jax?” His tone is panicked.
Knox’s feet are gone and in their place a pair of flippers.
“It’s fucking Everlee.” A growl rumbles deep in my chest, then bellows out.
I leap out while Knox slides in. His body turning into a seal.
Jax!Knox cries out.
The joy in his voice is almost so much it’s heartbreaking. It’s temporary, this feeling. When Everlee stops doing whatever she’s doing, it will be gone. She doesn’t do it on purpose, but it’s evil. Not her. Never her. Just the whole damn thing.
Another growl echoes out as my hands and arms turn ridged by my side, clawing, fighting for transition.
Fuck. I need to get inside.
I can’t transition again. I can’t deal with the feeling of my wolf, only for it to disappear.
“Everlee!” I yell out.
Silence.
Another growl.
Moving with speed, I leap down the set of stairs to the hallway with our bedrooms.
Nothing.
Another pull. The first crack.
Stop wolf! We aren’t shifting.
Let me run. I need to run.
No. This is temporary.
How in the fuck am I feeling her? Last time when she left, so did the magic.
She’s getting stronger. She’s mad.
No shit. On both accounts.
I could almost feel her rage seeping through each pulse.
Needing to hurry, I run down the hall and look all around the kitchen and dining room.
Nothing.
Library.
Maybe she and Callum are fucking again.
Jealousy shoots down my spine.
