252. Lorenzo I've been let down several times by people I even trusted but this, this was beyond anything I had ever gone through. My daughter and my best friend… Rage pulsed through me, a wildfire burning uncontrollably beneath my skin. My breath came out in heavy grunts, and before I could think twice, Mark took over, forcing my body to shift as we tore through the forest. My claws raked through the earth, uprooting trees, shredding vines—destroying anything that stood in my way. The sharp scent of damp soil and crushed wood filled the air, but it did nothing to ground me. I was furious. Furious at them. Furious at myself. Furious at all my efforts. Furious wit the whole f*****g world. Athena knew. My own mate knew and she never thought to tell me. She had kept it from me! "f**k!"
