Which of course comes out as another grumble.
And earns me an icy glower from the Alpha.
Okay, yeah, and I’m a dead wolf again. Awesome.

CLOVE
Tieran growls, the menacing sound wrapping around me in a thunderous vibration that pierces my heart and shoots lava through my veins.
Itburns.
I immediately cower, trying to hide from the venom in his aura. It flows around me, ensnaring me in his Alpha web and demanding my full focus.
Moon…
I was right about him dampening his Alpha energy these last few days. Because this feels like a whiplash to my senses, his power an avalanche threatening to suffocate my entire being.
He growls again, this one even more intimidating than the last.
I can feel my wolf whimpering and my soul screaming for mercy.
But he merely squats again, blocking any escape attempt I may make.
This is the monster I’ve been warned about. The savage beast who slaughtered his mate.
He probably did this to her before ripping her apart with his teeth.
I’m going to die here.
My animal growls, refusing to go down without a fight.
Which only makes the Alpha snarl, demanding obedience.
I can’t breathe.
It’s all too much.
My body is breaking beneath the power of his wrath and he isn’t even touching me.
My fur is melting, morphing, leaving me behind as a shell of nothing but skin and shattering bones.
He’s only growled three times. Maybe four.
But my body is responding to his demand, shifting back into human form in the most excruciating display of submission.
I hate him.
I despise his growl.
I loathe his Alpha powers.
I want to kill them all. I want to shred them for making me feel so small and alone and helpless.
This is the worst punishment of all, the degradation of my spirit and taking all the control away from my mind. Forcing me to morph into a state without my permission.
Part of me knows it’s what I needed.
