A Broken Alpha Heiress' Revenge novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

Riley’s POV

Finished

A sharp crack rang out as Lucien slammed Ronan into the pavement, claws sinking deep into his opponent’s shoulder. But Ronan’s brute strength allowed him to twist free, retaliating with a vicious swipe that tore through Lucien’s side.

1 gasped, watching blood stain Lucien’s obsidian fur.

No more.

Lucien was fighting for me.

And I–I was just watching.

Frozen.

Again.

Like I had been in that cell. Like I had been when they dragged me through those corridors, chained and bleeding, for “discipline.” Like I had been when Ronan watched it all with that twisted little smile and did nothing.

No. Not again.

I couldn’t lose Lucien. Not him. Not the only one who ever looked at me and saw more than damage.

A heat surged through me so suddenly I could barely gasp. It spread like fire through my limbs, my chest, my skull. I dropped to my knees.

Nyra controls.

I couldn’t breathe..

The world exploded in light.

Paws.

I looked down.

White.

And I was angry.

Ronan didn’t even see me coming..

I launched from behind, my jaws unhinging with a sound that didn’t belong in this world. I sank my fangs into the thick muscle of his throat, right where wolf met man. His blood gushed hot against my tongue, but I didn’t let go.

He roared–more from shock than pain–and I bit down harder.

Then I threw him.

I don’t know where the strength came from. All I knew was I needed him away from Lucien. Away from me.

Ronan’s body sailed through the air like a broken doll and crashed headfirst into a jagged stone. The impact echoed like thunder. His body twitched… then went still.

His wolf form shimmered, collapsed in on itself, and left behind his human body–naked, bruised, unconscious.

Unmoving.

I shifted back.

The transformation left me breathless. I collapsed to the pavement, gasping, shaking, my skin still tingling from the white wolf’s rage.

I stared at Ronan’s body. At the blood pooling beneath his head. At his too–still chest.

“No…” My voice came out broken. “No, no, no–what have I done?”

I pulled my knees to my chest, curling into myself. “I didn’t mean to- I didn’t want-”

They’re going to send me back.

That was my first thought. My only thought.

Back to the prison. Back to the chains. Back to being nothing but a file and a cage.

I was shaking so badly I didn’t even feel Lucien until his coat was around my shoulders and his arms were around me.

“I didn’t mean to,” I whispered again, because maybe if I said it enough, the moon would hear me. Maybe the gods would believe me.

“Riley,” Lucien said, his voice low, firm, like a hand on my spine. “Breathe.”

I couldn’t.

“I think I killed him,” I choked. “Lucien, I killed someone–he’s going to die because of me-”

Duke nodded and called in the transport.

They loaded Ronan up and drove him away, unconscious and bleeding.

Still alive.

I was still staring at the space where his body had been when Lucien crouched beside me again.

“You did well,” he said.

I blinked at him. “What?”

“You fought back. And you won.” His hand found mine, firm and warm. “You’re strong, Riley. Stronger than any of them thought. Stronger than they wanted you to be.”

“But I hurt him.”

“He was going to hurt you. Again. Don’t you see?” He leaned closer, his forehead brushing mine. “Anyone who tries to harm you is my enemy. And now, yours too.”

I swallowed the lump in my throat. “They’ll hate me.”

“Then let them hate you from under your feet,” he growled softly. “Because you are a white wolf, Riley. Your are rare. You are powerful. And from now on…”

His eyes burned with gold.

“….anyone who dares to hurt you will answer to us.”

And for the first time in years, I believed it.

I wasn’t weak anymore.
