The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
Chapter 190
The helplessness was eating me alive from the inside. All my life I had been able to protect the people I cared about through sheer force of will and Alpha dominance, but none of that mattered here. None of my training or experience or natural abilities could help Athena now.
She turned away from me and started walking toward Orion with movements that were slow and deliberate and absolutely dangerous.
I could see her shoulders rising and falling with each step and I could feel the heat radiating from her body like she had become a living furnace. The
air around her seemed to shimmer with the intensity of whatever power was flowing through her.
My pulse was hammering so hard in my ears that it drowned out almost everything else and I knew exactly what she was about to do.
I had seen what she had done to Seraphine and Daxon, had seen the dried husks that used to be living, breathing people.
She was going to kill him.
She was going to kill Orion and there was nothing I could do to stop her.
The thought sent a fresh wave of panic through me that was so intense it made my vision blur.
If she killed him while under the influence of this power, I knew it would destroy whatever humanity she had left.
I pushed my palms against the cold stone floor and tried to force myself to stand but my body wouldn’t obey me.
My arms shook with the effort and gave out almost immediately, sending me crashing back down to the ground.
I had nothing left to give and barely enough strength to keep my eyes open.
The life force that Athena had drained from me was slow to return, if it would return at all, and I felt like a shadow of my former self.
I tried reaching out to my wolf but he too felt so far away.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Orion and his face was carved from stone with his jaw tight and his hands clenched into fists at his sides.
He didn’t even look at me but I could feel his anger radiating off him like heat from a blade.

His anger was different from mine though. Where I felt desperate and broken and willing to do anything to save her, his rage was cold and calculating.
He was preparing for war, preparing to do whatever was necessary to stop the thing that had taken his sister.
And I didn’t care about his anger or his commands or his plans.
If killing me was what it took to bring Athena back then I would let her do it. If dying with her was the only way to reach whatever part of her was still trapped inside that thing then I would die gladly.
But she wasn’t coming for me now.
She was walking toward her brother with death in her silver eyes and I could feel through our bond that the thing controlling her saw Orion as a threat that needed to be eliminated.

And I was too weak to stop her.
‘Shift! Orion’s command boomed through the chamber again, stronger and sharper than before, and I felt it hit her with enough force to make her wolf
surface.
The power in his voice was incredible, layered with all the authority he had developed over years of leading his own pack.
It was the kind of command that could stop a rampaging wolf in its tracks, that could force submission from even the most rebellious pack member.
Her body jerked violently and cracks tore across her skin that was still glowing. She screamed and it was a sound so raw and animalistic that it scraped down my spine and left me shaking even harder than before.
The sound she made wasn’t entirely human and wasn’t entirely wolf. It was something else, something that spoke of pain and rage and a power too great for any mortal body to contain.
