Chapter Eleven

Cassius

I had watched many men die before. Death was something that I was familiar with. I had seen men die who were tired of living and welcomed the sweet release. I had seen men fight to the very last breath, believing that if they just held on for one moment longer they would be able to shrug off the pull of mortality and continue living through sheer force of will. I had seen people who had their lives stolen from them in battle, and I myself had been such a thief many times over. It was always heartbreaking to see the light leave their eyes for that final time, to know that whatever ineffable flame made them alive had been snuffed out, and could never be relit. Something unique was always taken away from the world, and there was never anything that could be done to fix it. I had hardened my heart over the years, making sure that I did not let it weigh upon me too heavily, but in this instance I was moved.

I have no idea if it was because my heart was warmer as a human than it had been as a vampire, or if it was because Willow was moved to tears beside me, but I felt sorry for Brandon. I was so tempted to rush in there and send Ewan flying away, not just for Brandon’s sake, but also because I wanted to get revenge for how Ewan had attacked me. As I watched him driving his knees into Brandon’s side and back I felt the echoes of pain in my ribs. They throbbed and I had to lift my hand to my side to try and ease the pain. I leaned forward, feeling nerves clenching through my body as I watched these last fatal moves of the fight.

Except they weren’t the final moments.

Brandon was fighting with all he had, and when his human form failed his wolf took over. There was an anxious whisper that rushed through the crowd as they had anticipated this moment. Brandon’s body changed. His muscles widened and swelled, looking as though they were going to explode. His skin gave way to the fur and changed shade, while his jaw lengthened and the blood receded. Fangs shone like daggers and his eyes filled with fury. Ewan’s eyes went wide as he tried to keep his hold around the wolf’s throat, but his arms were not wide enough. As Brandon’s body grew bigger Ewan was lifted off the ground and lost his leverage. Brandon started to move his body from side to side, trying to swing Ewan away.

Ewan had no choice but to let go. He fell to the ground, but the impact was lessened as he embraced his own wolf. His fur was sandy brown, and he was smaller in stature than Brandon, but no less vicious. As soon as Ewan turned into a wolf he lunged towards Brandon. His tactic was clear; he wanted to keep the assault going in a fast and furious manner so that Brandon did not have a chance to fight back.
