Rebecca

After my incredible run with William and Nora, I'm stretching in front of a lake. Nora had early classes tomorrow and left a couple of minutes ago, and William is taking a dip in the lake. My heart squeezes.

I'm really falling in love with William. He is kind and attractive. Sexy and I love our bickering and bantering.

It makes me smile how he didn't replace my lycan form disgusting. I'm this colossal white-furred lycan, and it surprised William to have me towering over him on my hind legs. Of course, I had to wrestle with him and get back at him for messing with me, but I wasn't rough.

Besides, when William had enough, he shape-shifted to this enormous, black wolf with leather-clad wings. His hybrid form is impressive and just as alluring as the man himself.

"Are you coming to skinny dip, Rebecca?" William shouts from the lake. He sounds amused. "Or are you too chicken s**t to swim with me naked? Afraid you might not be able to resist me?" I laugh. "Just you wait!"

I'm about to join the arrogant hybrid, but I notice a new message lighting up the screen on my phone.

Curiously, I pick it up from my clothes pile and swipe it open.

Oh-my-god...

There are like twenty messages from Greta and ten voice mails. Plenty of missed calls. There are even messenger messages, which make concern settle like lead in my stomach. Suddenly, my phone vibrates, and I pick up the call on the first tone to hear Greta hysterically cry.

"Davis killed Kit!" Greta shouts before I can even ask her what is up or what has happened. "He came here to search for you and killed Kit when he defended me!"

My eyes widen, and a cold wind passes me by. "Davis killed... Kit?"

"Yes! He is crazy, Rebecca! Davis knows about William! And you have to hide because he is coming for you, Rebecca! Some girl was upset that her mate didn't seem that interested in her-she was talking about William! Davis questioned her, and now he knows!" Fear seizes my lungs.

I slowly turn around to look at William but shriek and drop my phone when something big and dark jumps out of the woods. It snarls, and I turn to stone upon seeing Davis growling at me. He is huge.

Rippling with muscles.

He is in his lycan form, but he doesn't look normal. The hydra demon has given him three heads, and his eyes are glowing in orange. Froth covers his mouth, and he is enormous. Can this even be considered a lycan?!

YOU'RE A CHEATING b***h!

Davis's demonic voice changes the winds, and I hold my breath when he jumps over me. My head hits the ground, and the burning pain shoots up my spine.

I'm throbbing all over, and Davis growls into my face.

HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME?!

My lips quiver. "I'm... I'm-"

YOU'RE MINE, REBECCA! ONLY MINE! I NEED YOU TO GROW STRONGER!

He growls and hisses at me. Saliva drips onto my chest, and his claws dig into the skin on my shoulders. Three monstrous heads are snarling at me, all teeth and rage.

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ONLY MORE PEOPLE WILL SUFFER IF YOU DRAG THEM INTO THIS?!

I open my mouth but get silenced by Davis clawing at my face with his massive paw. Pain sinks into my bones, and blood splashes from my cheek before the demonic lycan growls at me again. YOU SHALL BE PUNISHED, YOU SLUT!

Fear bolts into my ribcage. I don't like this at all. Why is it that I can never get away from Davis? I hate him so much! I want him to leave me alone, but he always replaces me!

How do I escape from him?

Davis lifts his paw, ready to claw at me again. I brace for pain-only for William to rush into the fight and tackle Davis away from me.

I stare at Davis and then up at William.

"Thank you..." I swallow thickly. "I can't fight Davis. He is my alpha mate, which keeps me from shape-shifting... Leaving his pack will turn me into a rogue, and I might lose my mind... A lycan needs their pack." William's head lowers briefly to nudge me in understanding. He is big and fluffy, and for a moment, I feel relief.

Each of William's gigantic front paws is stuck in the ground on either side of me. His eyes are affectionate, and he seems ready to devote his life to protecting me when he lifts his head. YOU'RE PROTECTING HER? BIG MISTAKE!

A threatening snarl erupts from each one of Davis's monstrous mouths before he lunges himself at William.

I fear for William even before Davis has landed his attack.

Blood flies down on the ground, and I gasp. William is trying his hardest to fight Davis, but he only has one head-Davis has three, and they are all tearing at William's chest.

"Use your magic!" I scream. "Anything! You can't win by only relying on your brute strength!"

HE CAN'T USE MAGIC! THAT KITSUNE'S POWERS ARE MINE, AND I'M TOO POWERFUL FOR THIS HYBRID! HE ISN'T AN ALPHA!

William can't use magic around Davis?!

But then there is no way for him to defeat him!

My heart pounds in my throat. William is panting and whimpers when Davis bites into his shoulder. More blood covers the grass, and William trembles and falls when the large lycan s***h at him.

A scream bolts up from the depth of my stomach. Davis is mauling William, biting again and again. The smell of blood fills the air, and more whimpers come from the fallen hybrid.

He can't win against Davis. William isn't an alpha, and Davis is the largest lycan I've ever seen in my entire life. His whole body is made of pure, swollen muscles and dark fur.

HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY THINK YOU COULD DEFEAT ME? YOU'VE STOLEN MY MATE, AND NOW I WILL END YOU!

I stand rooted to the ground, and the tears fall.

This can't be happening.

Davis has a monstrous body and uses his entire arsenal to fight. He presses William to the ground, and blood splashes everywhere as he bites into William's neck, ending him. Screaming, I stand up to help him. Fear and panic are running through my veins, spinning around and around. I run forward but stop the second I hear William's voice. 'Don't help me, his voice breaks me. 'Run. Get away from here, and think of a solution!'

"But I-"

'No!' William shouts inside my head. 'I won't survive this! But you can still change the outcome of this battle-go back! Use that power of yours! You have to!'

Those are the last words William tells me before Davis rips loose one of William's legs. The scene is sickening, and I scream at the top of my lungs, praying this is just a nightmare.
