“What the fuck … what the fuckis this, Orion?” Thor barks.
He shudders as his gaze moves over us, but he looks at his brother for his instructions.
Orion stares back at him. “This? This is your test, Thor. Prove you’re an Alpha or die at the hands of a reject mutant who should have been killed the second he was born. I’d wish you luck, but I already know you’re no Alpha. I hope your death isn’t too painful, brother.”
He spits out the last word, and it is crystal clear that these so-called brothers do not have any love for one another. By the reactions of his brothers, it looks as if Orion may have hidden his true nature up until this moment.
Thor frowns at Orion as if he is waiting for his brother to reveal the punchline of a joke.
Orion stares back without uttering another word.
“Fuck this!” Thor snaps, before he shifts forms and takes off, bolting into the woods.
Fox rushes after him without a second of hesitation, and I know which one of the two I would place my bet on for coming back alive. Thor won’t get away.
Fox heard the same conversation I did.
He knows what that creep threatened to do to our mate.
My feline brother will take great pleasure in making sure Thor experiences intense pain before he dies. I have no doubt he will get what he deserves.
I move my gaze back to the remaining brothers, expecting to see Orion beginning the shift into his true form. There is a thoughtful look on his face, but he has not moved, and I do not think he is about to. The other boy who looks like Thor is standing as if he is frozen in place.
The last brother I expect to see move is Apollo, and yet he is the one who surprises me with an attack. He springs to his feet and lunges, arms out and partially shifted to bring out his claws.
I move forward and capture him by the shoulders before he can hit me, my claws sinking into his skin as I hold him away from me. He lets out a wail, and he kicks his feet toward me, but there is nothing he could do to hurt me physically. I am disgusted that this idiot has blood in common with me.
He talked so casually about hurting my mate, and he was ready to attack her while she was vulnerable. While she could not defend herself.
My rage ignites afresh as I stare at him.
I have no qualms with ending his pathetic excuse for a life.
Staring back at him, I flex my fingers, making the wounds in his arms bleed a little more.
His breath catches when his wail ends. He stares up at me, tears rolling down his cheeks.
Even in this sorry state, I see hatred in his eyes.
I feel that same hatred in my heart for him.
“Any last words before I rip your sorry body into shreds?” I growl at him.
“You … killed my … father …” he gasps out.
I grin at him. “And now I’m going to kill you.”
Even though he knows I’m telling the truth, his stare doesn’t change.
He hates me as deeply and viciously as I hate him.
The sudden flurry of movement when Thor’s twin shifts into his wolf form momentarily splits my attention. He sprints off in the direction of the portal.
Apollo uses the distraction to flail and kick, trying vainly to get me to drop him.
It is mildly annoying, but I try to ignore him.
“Scratch,” I order, turning my head and nodding at my brother.
