Chapter 103

• Lusia
• The cries of the councilman filled the air as he fell to the ground with a thud. I recalled that sound and I loved it. The sound of pain. It reminded me of the same pain I felt when I first shapeshifted. The feeling of your bones shredding and reshaping itself to take the shape of a cannibal. The bone-cracking moment when you are almost fully transformed and the electricity flowing through your veins as your body’s physiology and anatomy changes to take the shape of your inner spirit; your wolf. That was what that scream reminded me of.
• He was shrieking in pain and the rest of the Elders in the council sat down quietly watching this. Some of them were terrified of what I had done, but I was enjoying this. I was showing them that I wasn’t weak which was something that Dane would have wanted. He had told me that if I wanted him to love me, I would have to get stronger and be ready to stand up for myself. That was the last thing he had said to me before I had left the pack. I couldn't forget it.
