Chapter 7
Suddenly, I turn and head for the front door. Now that things have calmed a little, I’m reminded of what started the whole scene in front of the house – my wolf.
Immediately, I reach inside of myself, reach out to my wolf. However, she is not easily awaiting as the growl from earlier feels distant, a fleeting moment. To say I’m disappointed would be an understatement, which only adds to my growing frustration.
Between Kane and my own inconsistent abilities, I feel like a spring wound tight. It’s as if I could snap at any moment.
Perhaps that’s why I freeze as I walk by the pack house’s main room. My features are smooth as I watch the maids dutifully cleaning, dusting off vases and statues that I know are Kane’s precious family antiques. Slowly, a wicked idea crawls its way inside my head.
It grows and combusts until a fire ignites in my stomach, spreading throughout my veins as I feel a strange yet elating madness come over me. My body seems to know what I’m doing before my mind does as I storm my way into the room and grab a vase one of the maids has just finished dusting.
Without a second of remorse, I lift it over my head and then smash it onto the ground. Collectively, the maids gasp around me,
but I’m overcome with relief.
Damn, that felt good.
So good that I can’t stop myself as I go to the grand shelf to my side and start knocking a beautiful set of plates to the wood floor. Easily, they smash to pieces. Then I’m grabbing another vase and shattering it.
“Has she lost her mind!?” one of the maid shouts as I grab a set of scissors on the table and kneel to the ground. Immediately, I begin cutting and shredding the expensive rug that takes up the room.
“Evelyn!” another maid shouts as I destroy the rug. One of them tries to touch my shoulder, but I’m already buzzing with another idea.
I push past the collection of maids that watch me in horror. Another calls my name, but I leave them behind as I go to Kane’s study and let myself in. Without wasting a moment, I sit down at his desk and open a deep-set drawer.
I pull out a stack of important looking files and then toss them into his trash can. Then I’m humming to myself in glee, going to his bookcase as I pull off a few impressive looking titles. I add them to the pile in his trash.
From there, I pick up the pack of matches sitting atop his desk and light one up. Without a second thought, I drop it into the trash and watch as everything begins to burn.
I want to laugh, double over with glee. I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve always just stood down and taken the ridicule and abuse from anyone – I’ve never fought back.
And maybe my methods are a little crazy, but they’re the outcome of being hurt for so long. You can only push and push on a person for so much until they eventually break. Perhaps this is me breaking.
But it feels so freeing, and it seems as though my wolf agrees as it suddenly occurs to me that she’s humming with delight. I practically gasp at the realization, shocked and excited to sense her once more,
However, my moment of quiet happiness is interrupted as Kane and Bianca appear in the doorway. With the warmth of my fire against the side of my face, I look at Kane and watch as he studies the mess of his office, the roar of the flames, and then he looks at me.
I smile in response.
“What are you doing!?” Bianca shrieks. The maids are behind them now, cowering as they watch their Alpha and see what else I’ve done.
“Do something!” Bianca tells them. “Stop her!”

But the maids don’t move as I drop another one of Kane’s books into the fire. Perhaps they’re too afraid of my crazed state to dare to intervene. The realization only excites me more as I look for something else to burn.
What I find is a beautiful pocket watch that also sits atop Kane’s desk. I grab it and dangle it above the fire, preparing to drop it in. However, before I can release the valuable trinket, strong arms are wrapping around me, pinning my arms to my sides.
Quickly, a familiar and irresistible scent envelops me as my back presses to the muscled chest of the man behind me. Still, I try to wiggle free, but Kane holds me tight as he brings his mouth to my ear.
“What the fuck are you doing?” he growls.
