Chapter 11

Lilly

I screamed at the sight before me.

Both Zain and Dan were in wolf form, shredded clothing shrouded the ground in tattered pieces.

Zain, a large adult male wolf, was currently being bested by his younger teenage brother, a smaller wolf than he, but still large for his age.

Dan had Zain by the back of his scruff, sharp teeth digging deep, blood oozing everywhere.

Rabid snarls came from his throat as he shook his head, tearing fur and flesh in the process. Zain was fighting with all his might, throwing his weight back onto the large juvenile as the two landed with a thud.

A low whine coming from Dan's wolf who took the landing on his back, a cracking sound echoing through the air and they were both covered in blood.

Zain's wolf took the initiative as he scrambled up, towering over his brother who was currently attempting to get off the ground, claws digging into flesh as spittle dripped down his muzzle, teeth snapping at Zain with fierce growls of determination but he was no match for the first born alpha son.

If any rabid wolf fight existed with witnesses, this would be the top ten.

Zain had his right front claw digging into the brother's chest, keeping his weight on him as his long sharp teeth bit into his shoulder, earning a piercing yelp from Dan.

Zain's teeth latched onto Dan's throat with a mission, to eliminate his threat.

Blood oozed as pressure was applied but Dan would never submit and show his weakness even though he could never outdo his own brother.

Zain was going to kill him.

Both their wolves were fully ascended.

No human logic was present in this fight.They didn't recognize the brotherly bond right now.

This was over me. Instinct vs instinct!

I screamed as the other pack members ran forward, the Alpha and my Dad shifting simultaneously from far off, to stop the fight.

I found Grace, her worried eyes streaming tears as she screamed for Zain to stop and before Alpha Blake and my Dad could get to

them, something Inside me snapped try anything.

My wolf was fully ascending, taking over, pushing me out of our mind.

Running toward the crowd, I shifted, shredding my clothes as my wolf pushed herself through the circle of males and females surrounding the brothers, watching but not intervening.

As blood splattered with another round of the two wolves biting into each others flesh, a fierce growl erupted from my wolf's chest, ears slicked back on her head as my crouched her chest to the ground, snarling as she used her hind legs, leaping into the air between the fighting wolves, landing on the two of them.

They broke apart immediately, recognizing the she wolf that each male care for.

In different ways.

My wolf gave a commanding bark to each one of them, growling in a warning, low to the ground with lip pulled back showing teeth as the brothers both stayed low to the ground, growling and barking at each other from either side of me.

My wolf didn't like to see her mate hurting her best friend and visa versa., she didn't like seeing her mate hurt, she wanted to comfort the both of them but the pull to our mate was stronger.

I wasn't present in her decision making process right now as she had pushed me to the back of our mind, letting animal Instincts overcome the human side.

The scene of them fighting was too much, two men she cared for.

My wolf took a stance in between the male wolves, my head snapping toward each male, giving them a warning growl.

My wolf was a no nonsense female and she wasn't going to tolerate this.

Zain backed up, giving a snarl at me, one that meant he was unhappy about our interference.

But he acknowledged the fact it was my wolf.

Not me.

Neither brother was present in this fight, it was their wolves as well.

Three wolves moving purely on instinct.

Dan's head bowed slight, ashamed, as his human side slowly ascended his wolf's mind, taking lead but his gleaming silver eyes caught Zain's, giving him a show of teeth as his lip snarled revealing his sharp blood stained teeth.

Both wolves had blood staining their muzzles.

By the time the Alpha and my father reached them, the battle was already broken. It would have been different if they weren't out to kill each other.

We would have let them settle it, allowing them to fight till the other submitted.

A female breaking up the fight was an embarrassment to them, showing how juvenile the both of them were acting over this entire issue.

My wolf was calm now that the they were both safe, so I was able to push through, taking control over our mind, being in the forefront, using my human instinct.

Alpha stood tall, barking at both his sons, unhappy with their behavior.

Each of the brothers were injured, blood oozing the shredded flesh.

I backed away, a bit embarrassed that my wolf took over for a moment but I shouldn't be because it happens when we feel an emotion too strong for our wolves.

I felt my dad behind me, a rumble sent out in waves, his head nudging me, licking my muzzle in a show of affection, telling me to calm down.

Once my wolf realized there would be no other altercations in this moment, I backed slowly, softening my growls as I came to sit on my rump beside my dad.

The Alpha shifted, I looked away out of courtesy. Its normal to see skin but my father was standing right beside me and I didn't want to be embarrassed.

"Both of you! Shift! Now!!!" Alpha Blake roared at his two sons and his Alpha command could not be ignored. Even I felt an overwhelming feeling to shift even though his command was not for me.

Keeping my head lowered, I could distinctly hear the snapping and shifting of Bones, grunts being rumbled through the air by the brothers as they struggled to take control over themselves.

I felt my dad nudge me with his nose, silently telling me to go home.

Retreating slowly, I followed his order and took off around the pack house, away from their eyes and shifted back to my skin.

Dipping into the door of the mud room, I donned a robe left out for the females who come home from a run without clothing so there aren't she wolves walking around naked in the pack house.

I ran up to my room, shock still preventing me from feeling any sort of strong emotion right now.

I needed to go to them.

Both of them. It was my only instinct.

What even just happened back there? My mate being overly jealous of me and his brother? My only real friend?? He knows better.

We've been this way since childhood...

Holding hands when we're upset, hugging each other, being there for each other, Zain has become something more than just my best friends brother.

He's my mate now.

His wolf automatically sees any male touching me that isn't family and on instinct, is ready to take them out, it is competition in his wolf's eyes.

I feel the same way but circumstances have me resenting him more than I want to fight for him.

Its in my right but not with a pregnant she wolf.

It wouldn't be a fair fight since she's unable to shift for nine months.

It would be double manslaughter.

Punishable by banishment or death depending on the pups father who was Zain.

Zain would never agree to my death, regardless if I accidentally wolfed out and killed his unborn.

That's why it's so important to keep our emotions in check, it's the other reason why I have stayed to myself, locked away in my room.

Its why she's been kept away from me for the most part.

I took a quick shower, dressing in jeans and a simple black shirt, letting my hair fall in damp loose waves as I made my way downstairs once more and out the door.

The sun was starting to set, allowing the purple and pink hues to grace the horizon, but the spot where the fight had taken place was littered with blood splattered all over the grass, turning a dark shade as it dried.

No one was around, not even wandering pack members who aimlessly meandered on the property

So I took off.
