Chapter 261
Ella
Anya screamed, raising her hands in defense as the rogue lunged for her.
I moved before I could think twice.

The rogue slammed into me instead of her. Its claws raked across my shoulder, tearing through the white blouse and into the skin beneath. I gritted my teeth against the pain and swung around, reaching deep within me for my wolf’s strength.
A moment later, I stood on four legs instead of two. “Finally,” my wolf sighed in relief. “Some good, old- fashioned bloodshed.”
Years of warrior training kicked in in an instant. I swiped my claws at the rogue’s face, catching it right in the eye. Blood spurted from its fresh wound, making it stagger back, but it didn’t go down just yet. Instead, it whirled toward me with a snarl, yellow eyes blazing with feral anger.
Anya screamed again, frozen in place.
The rogue whirled toward her and lunged again, but this time, I was ready. I leapt in between it and Anya, this time clamping my jaws around its neck with a sickening crunch. The wolf yelped and struggled.
With all my might, I bit down harder. And harder.
But the rogue was stronger. And this new Omega body was not quite up to the task–not like I had once been in my Luna body.
Wrenching free from my jaws, the rogue circled around me then swiped at me again. It caught my foreleg. I cried out in pain, crumpling to the forest floor.
“Stella!” Anya cried out, rushing toward me. “Help! She’s hurt!”
The rogue leapt again. Its matted gray fur blotted out the sun overhead as it covered my body with its own. For a moment, all I saw were jaws snapping at my face.
Somehow, using all my force, I managed to kick it away, sending it skidding across the forest floor. While it was distracted, I scrambled to my feet and pounced.
The pain was almost unbearable, turning everything else into a haze. I wasn’t sure where my blood ended and the rogue’s began. Each movement felt like I was tearing into a deeper layer of flesh in the wounds that had formed.
But I bit down. Hard.
Warmth gushed into my mouth. The rogue sputtered and struggled beneath me, but I held fast, even as its larger body writhed and bucked. I clamped down harder.
Then, with one final burst of strength, the rogue threw me sideways against the tree next to us. Blinding light shot through my skull as my head made impact with the hard wood, and the world went black.

When I came to, I found that I was back in my human form. Anya’s face was hovering over me with tears in her
eyes.
“Stella, you’re awake,” she said, her face lighting up.
I tried to sit up, but the pain was overwhelming and made my head spin. I collapsed back against the tree and managed in a small, breathless voice, “Is it… Is it dead?”
Anya nodded vigorously and grinned from ear to ear. “Yes. You were amazing!”
Thank the Goddess. My body felt like it was falling apart, but Anya was uninjured and the rogue’s form was motionless in the background.
