Chapter 36

• ZARA POV
• "Zara, you need to stay down. Don't make me kill you," Katrina said loudly.
• I desperately tried to yell, 'No, I'm not trying to hurt you!' but the words caught in my throat, swallowed by the suffocating fear that gripped me. I was trapped. An invisible cage surrounded me, my own panic a suffocating weight. I couldn't reach my wolf, couldn't control her. Helpless, I watched in horror as she lunged at Kristina again. There was a sickening crunch, a spray of blood, and Kristina's shriek echoed through the room. She slammed into the wall, like a limp doll.
