Elisabeth's POV
The darkness inside me that I had encountered during that unconscious episode was awakening again. The part of myself that I continued to deny, even after discovering my wolf, was now clawing its way to the surface. She felt like a hunter preparing to strike, and for the first time since meeting her, I didn't push her away.
I wanted her strength because every fiber of my being demanded Grady pay for threatening Jefferson.
Jefferson.
His name hit me with devastating clarity. He would tear apart anyone who dared harm me without a second thought. The truth crashed over me as I watched Grady trembling on the ground, his terror so complete it was almost pathetic. I would do exactly the same for him.
