Alpha Aaron’s POV I hear the bang of the shot ripping through the air, and I turn just in time to see her falling to the ground. I feel like it’s happening all over again: I’m watching my mate fall. Fear and anger are all I feel, and I let it fuel me. I can see the bastard still holding the gun and walking slowly to Kay. I race to her, but someone is there before me. It’s Willow, and Rana is right behind her. They are both running to Kay. I can’t really say what happens next, but as soon as they reach Kay, it’s like a small bomb goes off. I see the Boss and John fly backwards, giving me the opening I need. The Boss turns just in time to see I’m almost on him, but he just laughs. The shadows around him begin to envelop him, and John’s wolf is cowering at the Boss’s feet like a scared dog.
