Both wolves faced off with each other.
Both circling slowly, hackles raised and sizing up each other.
Where James was nearly twice twy size and heavily muscled, she was by no means small compared to other she wolves.
She was slender and sleek which gave her the advantage of agility over the strength her opponent had.
Her will presence and power was equally matched to the alpha of Blackstone, but her need to hurt him was greater.
It was against Jame’s wolf to harm Cassidy.
His wolf did not believe his mate would have hurt his pack like that… their pack.
It was getting the man to believe it that was the hard part.
Cassidy charged first, all the anger that had been building over the days, weeks, months that she had been locked in that room and that cage.
Hung up and toyed with like she was some personal pet of his, realizing they were mates and then being rejected… All that rage and anger boiled over and she went for him, just as he went for her at the same time.
The two wolves came together in a powerful explosion of snarls and growls, bother sinking their teeth into each other.
They did as much damage as possible to each other before breaking apart and then clashing right back together again.
Fur flew in the air and blood splattered the ground from both of the alphas.
Where James had mostly went for Cassidy’s back, she had gone for the softer spots on him but she was quickly wearing down and the Alpha was not showing mercy or playing with her anymore.
They had broken apart again, both breathing heavy.
Jame had a decent and deep gash to his ribs that Cassidy had been attacking over and over again to do more and more damage and she was having difficulty using her right front leg after Jame’s crushing jaws broke a bone.
Cassidy was just getting ready to go back in for another round, stubborn pride now fueling her along with the searing rage of a she–wolf that had been rejected when she heard the sound of Jett’s voice and Alaric shouting for James to stop.
“Stop!
Dont kill her!” Jett had nearly pleaded as the two beta’s approached.
“Listen to me… She didn’t do it James…” Alaric had said, waving his phone as he ran.
It was enough of a distraction for Cassidy that she had stopped at the sound of Jett’s voice and turned her head to him, shocked that he was still alive let alone free and here, running towards her.
The distraction was all James needed, his heavy body plowing Cassidy straight into the ground and his jaws wrapping around her neck.
He shook her like a rag doll, using all of his strength to overpower the she–wolf as his jaws clamped down.
Cassidy had been so shocked to see Jett, the other wolf had become a second thought to her.
When he took her down, there was a startled yelp that was swiftly closed off as the males jaws cut off her airway and shook her like she was nothing.
She fought, thrashing and kicking, clawing at his face and neck until the sedate feeling of lack of blood flow took over her body.
She heard Jett snarling, trying to come and fight for her but men came and held him back.
She seen booted feet running over, ignoring the BlackStone alpha’s snarl to stay back.
“James look… The video recording… She didn’t do this.
She survived this.
You are killing her James.
You are killing your mate!” Alaric had shouted, trying not to interfere, trying to not challenge his alpha, and trying to get the fool to see the truth.
Cassidy stopped fighting, happy at least someone seen what happened in that prison.
Happy that Jett was still alive for now.
The last thought she had before her body went limp in the alpha’s jaws was one of the man who was killing her.
‘James… she thought softly, repeating his name for the first time she had heard it just as she succumbed and passed out.
