Her Rage

[Elise’s POV]

I continue to stare at the pile of ash in front of me while Jose’s words repeat themselves again and again in my head.

He’s gone.

He’s gone.

He’s gone.

Each time they appear, I feel something in me crack more and more, until I’m letting out a snarl of rage and turning my gaze toward my father.

“You!” I growl, watching him attempt to get up. “THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!”

Shaking Jose’s hands off of me, I move, shifting back into my wolf form and attacking my father before he gets the chance to get up.

You! I snarl inwardly. EVERYTHING IS YOUR FUCKING FAULT!

As the words form themselves, I dig my teeth into his shoulder, earning myself a whine of pain from him, which just satisfies me even more.
