The deafening boom cleaved the air.

The sharp scent of gunpowder followed, staining my shallow breaths.

Diamond jerked, stumbled. Still Alpha never stopped. He moved with a fighter’s precision. His focus and gunsight trained on the center of mass as the gun kicked in his grip, again and again…and again.

But this was a mistake. A deadly mistake.

Alpha couldn’t kill Diamond—not like that. He’d only piss him off.

The monstrous shifter turned his head. His lips curled. A sickening, feral snarl echoed through.

“Alpha,” I started, but my words were swallowed with the blast.

Gunshots left behind gaping holes in Diamond’s shirt. Blood seeped through, staining the fabric crimson. His body shuddered.

Black bled through brown in his eyes, until the silver glint of his wolf shone.

Nails curved, lengthening to claws. Massive thighs lengthened as his stance hunkered. Dark patches of fur sprouted underneath pink skin and broke the surface. But it was the hate in his eyes, that guttural rage which spilled as his flesh knitted together.

The stench of hot metal pierced my nose. But underneath, the thick, heady scent of rage broke through.

The click of the empty clip ratcheted.

My stomach trembled as Alpha yanked the magazine free and slammed a new one home. But the split second was all the shifter needed.

Diamond cocked his hand and lunged. Razored nails sliced the air, ready to part flesh and spill blood. I dropped my shoulder, and drove my heels into the floor. My heart was thundering, drowning out my wolf’s howl of fear.

Alpha’s torn body came to life inside my mind, and the image was a stab to my heart. My thighs tightened, stomach clenched. I lowered my head and lunged.

Diamond’s claws sliced the air. My teeth gnashed, bones shook. I stumbled, danced. Hot pain raked my side. One jerk and his claws hit bone.

My knee buckled. My hold slipped. White sparks danced in my eyes.

The scent of blood was suffocating like a hand over my mouth, taking me back to the child who ran on that infernal night.

"Get the fuck off me.” The familiar growl vibrated my ear.

Something sharp bit deep as he tried to yank his claws free.

I held on, shoving and pulling…dancing, just enough to get him away—just enough to keep Alpha alive.

My protector was a blur. His eyes were wide, trailing the muzzle of the gun right and left as Diamond shoved and punched.

Alpha’s screams bounced off the walls. The thrashing of my heart drowned out his words. The crunch of bone filled my ears as Diamond wrenched his claws free. One swift punch to my gut and my fingers slipped.

“No!”

I turned toward the sound. Alpha’s eyes were wide, his skin ashen. I tried to lift my hand to help him…to protect him, but my body refused to move.

Something spilled from my body. I looked down, pink blended with white to slip through my fingers. Blood trickled, racing over the back of my hand to fall toward the floor. The warning inside my head dulled, and everything else followed.

Alpha charged, bullets punched, until there was nothing but the dull click of an empty chamber.
