Page 71 of Bad Blood Wolf

Chapter 26

Decker slid a shock stick through the wire mesh and hit Brody with it. Not hard enough to shock him back to human, just hard enough to piss him off.

His wolf snapped at the stick, and Decker hit him again. He roared in pain and lunged at the closest target he could get to: Jasmin.

She dodged out of his way and he hit the metal wall of the cage, shaking it from the top to the floor.

Decker shocked him again. Harder. Longer.

Jasmin backed up, watching him, ready to dodge out of his way. Bastian hit her with a shock stick.

“Fight, bitch!” he shouted.

Jasmin turned and lunged at the cage wall, getting him with a couple of claws before he shocked her again. He had no idea what he was doing. She’d withstood so much more than he could dish out.

But Brody hadn’t. The pain was enraging his wolf.

She saw the moment when he lost it.

Brody’s wolf gave that terrifying guttural growl, and then his eyes turned a strange churning silver. He grew before her eyes, bones breaking, jaws slavering, and burst out of his wolf skin into another form.

Huge. Pure white. Murder in his eyes.

Monster Wolf.

He let loose one enraged howl, and then he was pounding toward her like a freight train.

She saw her death approaching, and time seemed to slow down.

Fight!

No! It’s Brody in there! We can’t hurt Brody.

No one you love should give you scars. She’d rather die than hurt Brody like that.

Her jag panicked. No! Never submit! Never surrender!

But he’d broken his mental blocks. They’d take him away, and they’d do terrible things to him.

She had to fight. She couldn’t let them win.

They can kill us, but they can’t break us.

Her jag howled, They can’t make us submit!

No.

Jasmin’s mind cleared.

They can’t make us submit to them.

She stared at Monster Wolf bearing down on her, seeing the crazy in his eyes. Even though she couldn’t see Brody, she knew he was in there. She held his gaze. I love you, Brody.

And then he was on her.

At the last second, just as he lunged, Jasmin turned human and sank to her knees, exposing her neck.

No fight. No fear. Only love.
