Burn It To The Ground Part III

I lunged at Fallon, letting the other wolves burn behind me.

I tackled him to the ground, both of us clawing and snapping at each other as we rolled until he ended on top. Screams were echoing around us, smoke was filling our lungs as the fires teased the edges of our skin.

His hand was around my throat, piercing the sensitive skin. He leaned in close as sweat trickled down his bloody forehead.

His breaths were shaky and labored, but that failed to stop the immense rumbling coming from his chest.

"You can't kill me, darling. Even if you could bring yourself to do it, you'll hesitate.

"Again." He said slowly.

I growled out and bashed my head into his with so much force that it sent him flying backward.

He hit a wall as I spun to my feet. I stalked towards him slowly, taking my time to plan out my next move as well as his.

He tried to scramble away, but he had nowhere to run. I picked him up by the neck, my vengeful eyes burning a hole into his.

I shoved him against the wall and tightened my grip. My beast was licking her lips in anticipation, as was I.

We wanted blood for our family, the family we will never see again and the family we still have to find.

"You made me watch as my house got attacked.

"You made me stand there and listen to my little brother cry out for help.

"You made me watch as you slit my mother's throat.

"You made me watch as my world went up in flames.

"You may not have been the one holding the knife or the one who pulled the trigger, but you were the mastermind behind their deaths.

"Their blood is on your hands."

My grip tightened as I leaned in closer.

He clawed at my arms, but I was relentless; nothing was going to stop me now.

I saw the panic in his eyes before they flickered downwards. He quickly sharpened his claws and stabbed his hand into the side of my stomach.

I looked down slowly before reaching over with my free hand and taking his wrist. His eyes widened as I began to pull his claws out of my flesh, never flinching once.

I raised his hand to his face with a small, murderous grin. He fought for air, but his struggle was beginning to end.

He had no moves left to make.

He was playing my game now.

"And now..." I whispered leaning in so close that our noses were touching.

"You'll watch as I set your world on fire."

I stepped back and let him fall to the ground before raking one of my claws across his face.

He yelled out in agony, his hands reaching up to clench his eye. The blood was dripping down his face as he rocked back and forth.
