Versus

Getting married. Abel glared his fury at the grassy fields, which were dotted with Union tents. It felt like he had swallowed a jagged boulder.

“Whatever,” he muttered, stalking to one end of the patio, and then the other. “Forget them. Who cares? It’s not like I wanted to be best man or something. Screw weddings.”

So maybe they were eloping. He wouldn’t put anything past Seth after that moronic proposal in some stupid cow field.

Abel never would have proposed in a field.

He growled at the train of his own thoughts. “What am I thinking? Shut up.” Marriage was never an option for him in the first place.

But that didn’t mean he wanted Rylie to marry Seth, either.

Levi strolled out of the kitchen, his hands stuffed in his pockets. “Talking to yourself is a sign of schizophrenia. You’re at the age where that starts kicking in. Maybe you should talk to my dad about it.”

Abel fumed in silence. His muscles vibrated with tension.

Don’t hit him. Don’t hit him.

But Levi kept talking.

“If Rylie bailed, I guess there is plenty of room for a new Alpha now. And I thought I was going to have to fight for it.”

Don’t hit him…

“You know what I’m going to do as soon as I become Alpha?”

“No, but I bet you’re going to tell me,” Abel said through clenched teeth.

Levi strolled over to him at the edge of the patio. His golden eyes were gleaming. “I’m going to get rid of you. That’s what I’m going to do. You’re like a poison in the pack. And I’m going to excise that poison.”

Abel’s fists clenched.

He glanced in the kitchen. Empty. He looked out at the grassy property. Also empty. Everyone was inside their tents for the moment.

No witnesses.

He hauled back and punched Levi across the face.

After wanting to do it for hours—actually, for months—all of the energy captive in his muscles was unleashed in a single blow. Levi was flung backwards off of the porch. He sprawled on the grass.

Abel stalked toward the other man, grabbed his shirt, and lifted him off of the ground.

“I am sick of listening to you talk,” he growled, preparing to throw Levi.

There was commotion in the house. A door opening.

“Wait! Stop!” Bekah shouted.

Levi used the distraction to pull the silver pentacle out of his shirt. It was enchanted to keep from hurting him, and let him transform between moons. But Abel had no protection from it.

Levi rammed the silver pentacle into his face. Abel roared and dropped him, twisting away from the burn.

The sting of silver was even more sickening when he was still recovering from the recent gunshot wound. It made his ears ring and his eyes blur.

A fist appeared in his vision the instant before it struck.

Levi punched Abel in the face, and when he staggered, Levi struck him again in the gut. He doubled over as all of the breath rushed out of him.

He used his momentum to pile-drive into Levi, sending them both to the ground.

“Stop it!” Bekah cried.
