Cain's smile lingered for a heartbeat too long, and then it vanished. The grounds of the courtyard trembled as if it had been hit by something massive.
It wasn't a roar or a burst of speed that marked Cain's first move, but it was the pressure he unleashed. The kind that crushed lungs and bowed stone, the kind that reminded every wolf present who stood at the top of the food chain.
Sylas barely managed to throw his shadows up before Cain was already there as the impact detonated through the space.
Cain's fist slammed into Sylas's guard, tearing through shadow and flesh alike. The force sent Sylas flying backwards, his body ploughing through a collapsed column and skidding across the stone like a rag doll. Blood sprayed the ground in a dark arc, following the trail of his body.
Theo screamed his name, horrified at what she was witnessing. She looked at Cain, and her lungs froze with fear. What kind of crazy power did he possess? What kind of Alpha wolf lives in him?
