Eruption–2
I whipped around, and something powerful suddenly surged within me. The feeling was both foreign and familiar, like something long dormant was awakening. My blood boiled in my veins, every cell charged with energy, and my senses became unnaturally sharp.
Without thinking, I lunged at Aurora, grabbing her by the throat and slamming her against a parked van. My nails had somehow grown sharp and elongated, digging into her soft skin, nearly breaking the surface. I could clearly hear her frantic heartbeat and frightened gasps, smell the scent of fear emanating from her.
“If you ever, and I mean ever, threaten Leo again, I will end your life. I will bury your body so deep it will take a century to dig you up. Don’t fuck with me, Aurora. I’ve tolerated enough from you, and today it ends,” I growled, my voice deeper than I’d ever heard it.
Nothing could stop a mother from protecting her child.
Aurora’s face contorted from lack of oxygen, her lips turning purple. Her hands gripped my wrists tightly, trying to break free, but my strength was far beyond normal. When her eyes began to flicker with a golden glow, I sensed something inside her struggling, trying
to break through. Her wolf was trying to take over, to shift and fight me.
Shockingly, I felt a strange energy flowing from within me, forcefully suppressing her.
Like some part of me knew how to prevent a werewolf from shifting. Aurora’s eyes widened in terror, clearly as shocked by this power as I was. I didn’t even know how I was doing it, but the power was there, no longer dormant.
“Thea, let her go!” Roman’s voice came from a distance. I saw him walking quickly toward
us, his face showing shock and disbelief. He was clearly too far to have noticed the golden glow in Aurora’s eyes and her attempt to shift. In his eyes, this was just me exploding
with anger.
“If you dare do anything to my son, or if I find out you’ve hurt him, I will destroy you,
Aurora. There won’t be a place in this world where you can hide from me. Got it?”
She seemed terrified, nodding frantically. I released her, and she collapsed to her knees, coughing violently, gasping for air, one hand rubbing her throat, the other bracing against the ground. Her wolf had completely retreated, apparently scared shitless by what had just happened.
“How could you do this to your own sister? You disgust me,” Roman shouted at me while helping Aurora to her feet.
“She is not my fucking sister,” I hissed, making him flinch in surprise. “You told me to stay away from her, and I did. Now I’m telling you to keep her away from me. I won’t tolerate anyone threatening my son, and if protecting him means burning the whole world down, I’ll do it without hesitation.”
“You heard what she said about Leo. She threatened him, and you have the nerve to stand there and lecture me?” I glared at both of them.
“Shut your damn mouth, I don’t want to hear what you have to say. From today on, you’re no longer part of Leo’s life. He doesn’t need a pathetic uncle who won’t protect his own nephew, especially against your bitch of a sister.”
