As soon as he leaves my side, enemies come flocking in like they were waiting for him to slip up. A few steps backward triggered him to growl at me. He stalked me while I expected his next move. What is it? A werewolf? Dire wolf? It seems there is no trace of a human in him, just an untamed wild beast. Is it even from this time? I peep a glance at my surroundings spotting a scalpel lying free on the table. I stretched for it, checking my rear to catch him when he pounced on me.
I pray I can keep it in my hand while it shakes. His intense growl shifts through the room, sensing him shooting a bullet in my way. The teething snout was already in my face, but a strong wind knocked him left, watching it smash the glass into shattering pieces. That is some power. I just knew it was Bora, but Cage stood before me with a slight chippy grin on his lip.
"It is truly a glorious day." He tries to intimidate me, steeping to my face. "Oh, what a gift." His scratchy knuckles brush against my cheek, catching my strands. I roared in a swing, but he caught my arm, and twirled me already behind, lifting my chin. "Do you know how upset he will be when he sees my hands all over you?" His nose pushed through my hair, sniffing my scalp. I bent my elbow, throwing it back right into his kidney. He folded with a coughing grunt as I kicked him in the opposite direction and took off, sprinting to the exit.
He was on me in no time. How did he recover that fast? "BORA!" I screamed for him.
"How disappointing. I was hoping it was going to be my name!" He slashed at my back, but I dodged it, rolling to the floor.
"You are gross." I rolled under the medical table like that would stop him. He got me. I acknowledged defeat while he flipped the board from over me, picking me up by my neck.
"Little deer, little deer. Where's your boyfriend now?"
"He's my mate."
He furrowed his eyebrows. "You accepted the way of the wolf, have you? Interesting. Before I wipe you off the face of this earth, I want to have some fun. Show you off to him." He brought me to his nose. "Then take your life in front of him."
We ended up in the main lobby, viewing them from the 2nd floor. Bora and the rest of the crew looked up at us. The anguish in his eyes and the gritted teeth bear sorrow to my heart. "I am okay. He hasn't hurt me."
"That's right I haven't." He grips my neck, sniffing up my cheek. "Yet"
My mate swiftly puts a foot forward, charging, but Cage squeezes as the pain shoots through my body. Feeling him close to crushing it had me screaming out in agony. He halted with fear in his eyes. "Come on, she is very obvious to execute. Are you sure you want to harm me?"
"Oh, I want to do so much more." Bora scrunched his nose.
Electric pops crackled through the air. "Hey! Let go of my sister, jackass!"
"See now, if I do that, that will make it too eazy. Me myself, I love a challenge." The automatic doors from a side room slid open as John strolled out and in his hands was a small amniotic-filled incubator with the fetus.
