I staggered home.
For three miles, I didn't stop. I walked till I was out of the thick forest and into the heart of Stormbreaker land.
Even then I didn't stop. I walked until I was standing in front of my father's mansion, in front of the four warriors posted on the entrance of the Alpha's home and then I stopped.
I stopped because what happened in the woods happened because of those in there in that big old mansion.
Aiden and his band of nutty fuckers did what they did because of the people inside that mansion.
I didn't let him win. Why on earth would I let Akira and the rest of my screwed up family win!
And so, I staggered inside.
Dress ripped, skin on fire, bruises and lacerations throbbing with relentless pain and blood dripping down from the slash in between my legs…I staggered right inside.
I ignored the guards, stopping only when I heard voices inside the living room.
It sounded like a celebratory thing.
