Chapter 15Anna stood, blood dripping from her hands, frozen in place and unable to move. Her eyes were fixed on the commotion in the center of the room. She saw the fear in his eyes when he realized it was Paige’s blood on the roses. She wanted to comfort him, to whisper it would be all right, but her body refused to cooperate. An unknown force slammed a metaphorical dagger of pain deeper into her heart, stealing her sanity. Her breath caught at the sight of him in so much agony.

A fiery heat from the broilers in Hell radiated from Ozzie in violent waves and she wondered if the room would go up in flames. She heard his heart pounding in his chest with the force of a sledge hammer, blow after blow, threatening to burst through his skin. Unable to judge the situation, she turned to Sebastian for advice.

“Sebastian, what is going on? Is this normal? Is he experiencing severe blood lust?”

She cut her eyes in the direction of the vampire behind her as he quickly answered her question.

“No, I don’t believe so.”

A thunderous growl swept through the room, stealing her attention. She turned back to Ozzie and was horrified. His skin seemed to crawl along his bones, swelling over muscles and tissue as if to take on a new shape.

“Is he turning into a werewolf?” Jaxson yelled form behind her.

She thought about it for a second and answered, “No! I have never seen a wolf change, but I have seen Paige, and her muscles move under her skin, not her skin itself, but then it rips away as her cat form emerges.”

Ozzie dropped to the floor flat on his back.

“Then what the hell is going on?”

Sebastian offered another answer.

“Perhaps Anna, you and that she-wolf who attacked him have created a hybrid. That would be most…exciting and unpredictable.”

Her gaze darted behind her and back to Sebastian.

“Do you really think so?”

Just as she turned back to Ozzie, he arched his back as the glow of gold in the mid-day sun erupted from his chest. A scream ripped from his throat.

Her feet staggered back a step as she covered her eyes at the bright display.

“It’s the tattoo!”

A sparkler of flame outlined the tattoo as it came to life on his chest. Each braid and knot sizzled and burned. Emerald showered the room as the clover grew brighter. Scars of white light caressed the symbols in the center and fused with green and gold. The light took on the brightness of the sun and exploded throughout the room in a flash.

She opened her eyes and Ozzie lay limp and unconscious. Thorns sliced her hands when she flung the flowers in haste and barely noticed the sting. She tried to rush to Ozzie’s side, but Mr. Zane’s voice stopped her.

“Wait! No one move. Stay back.”

The old man walked over to inspect his rag doll of a son. He surveyed the limp frame with his hands a few times, muttering to himself as he went.
