Chapter Twelve

Phil growled low in his throat as he unleashed his Alpha power. Because of his blue eyes, everything took on a luminous blue tint. His sight sharpened until he could see each vein in his prey’s neck. Smell the fear emanating from him. Hear his heart racing like a scared rabbit.

His form wavered on the brink of an instant shift. He controlled it for now as he stalked toward his prey.

Sigismund pressed back against the table. “What—What kind of shifter are you?”

Phil allowed his face to change. His nose and jaw crackled as they elongated. His canine teeth sprang out. He snarled.

“No!” Sigismund fought frantically against his restraints. He shot Connor a desperate look. “Call off your wolf!”

Connor shrugged. “He’s no’ my wolf.”

Phil halted in front of the prisoner. A primeval urge to kill swept through him, more powerful than he’d ever felt before. In the past, he’d killed animals while in wolf form. Werewolves always enjoyed a good hunt when the moon was full. And he’d killed Malcontents while engaged in battle. But never had he been tempted to commit murder—till now.

Sigismund extended his fangs in a futile attempt to defend himself. Phil knew if he drew too close, the vampire would snap at him. But he was seized by a murderous rage that dismissed any threat. His body vibrated with raw power. With lightning speed he latched onto the prisoner’s neck with one hand. He clamped down, squeezing with his superior strength.

Sigismund twisted his neck, trying in vain to bite.

Phil sent a flood of Alpha power down his arm, and his hand shifted. Fur sprouted. His nails elongated and curled into sharp claws.

Sigismund’s eyes bulged with terror. “Call him off! Call—” He choked as Phil’s claws punctured his skin.

Austin moved closer for a better view. “Holy shape-shifting, Phil! Only parts of you have shifted. And the moon isn’t even full. How can you do that?”

Phil growled. In his current condition his senses were all heightened, but with his head shifted, he could no longer talk.

“He’s an Alpha,” Connor replied for him. “He has powers other shifters only dream about.”

“Damn,” Austin muttered. “I’m glad he’s on our side.”

“Oh yeah!” Phineas punched the air with a fist. “He’s big! He’s bad! He’ll blow your house down, sucker.”

Phil snarled as the scent of blood reached his elongated snout. Blood dripped down the prisoner’s neck where his claws had penetrated.

Connor stepped closer. “Phil, can ye tone it down a wee bit? The prisoner canna answer our questions if he’s unconscious.”

Through a blue-tinted haze Phil realized the prisoner’s eyes had grown dull. He retracted his claws, reined in his Alpha power, and with one last shimmer his body returned to full human form. He let go of the Malcontent and stepped back.

Sigismund gasped for air as he slumped against the chains. “Don’t…don’t let him hurt me. I…I’ll tell you everything I know.”

“Verra good.” Connor nodded at Phil with an appreciative gleam in his eyes. “Well done, lad.”

“You da man.” Phineas gave him a knuckle pound.
