38. In the end

I see her disappear in the crowd, my skin still tingling
where' she touched it.
As much as I trust Hazel, I don’t trust anyone else with
her. but she’s right, we need to act fast lest we lose
our only chance.
With a deep breath, I turn my gaze to Parks, making
sure to put every bit of authority in my soul in that
look.
Considering the irritated gleam in his eyes, I suppose
it’s working.
“Keep your eyes on her,” I say, my voice hard even to
my own ears “And I’ll be keeping mine on you.”
“Are you so sure I need to be watched, Winters?” he
crosses his arms “I’m not the untamed one here.”
A growl claws at my throat to let it out, I can almost
feel my fingers elongating. The beast hasn’t had a dose
of wolfsbane in long while and its eager to break
through the chains of restraint.
“You shouldn’t even be allowed on this Hunt.” Parks
says, scorn obvious in his tone “Let alone with Elise as
your companion.”
My hands are itching to close around something.
“You’re the biggest threat to her—
Unbidden, my hand reaches out to grab him by the
shirt front. I relish the flicker of unadulterated fear that
crosses his face, even if for a second.
“So you know what I might become,” I say lowly, my
voice rough around the edges like a jagged knife
“What I am capable of doing, still you’re standing here,
spewing out crap. I must say Parks, you’re a bigger
idiot than I gave you credit for.”
I let go of him, he staggers back. Instantly, he
straightens himself, loathing clear on his face.
“Stay in your limits, Pup.” I look down at him “The next
time I have to remind you wouldn’t be so painless.”
I turn around, willing the beast to recede. I need to get
it together, we need to escape this place before any
more ‘incidents’ decide to happen. I need to get Hazel
out of here.
My fingers turn back to normal, reason takes over
instinct as I go farther away from the noise in the
ballroom.
I find Anderson in the middle of a staircase.
“Where are you going?” he asks, raising an eyebrow at
me
“To get to that damn office.” I say
“You cant possibly be thinking of taking all the guards
out.” Anderson says “Even if you somehow do, there’s
no saying the map is there.”
“Just the fact that there are five guards outside one
door leads me to think it’s there.”
“Look, Winters,” he says “As much as I would love to
punch someone in the face given our situation, we
need to think this through.” Don't forget to leave a Comment
