I could hear Chad struggle with the thoughts of his wolf. I tried to mind-link him, but he was blocked. I can only guess that Eli was talking to him. He needed time, I'm sure he did. He was thudding about in his room. All I could hear were small bangs. I heard him leave his room, and stumble down the stairs and rush out the front door. I looked out my window. He was violently shaking his head, moving his hands to and from constantly. I've never seen him this angry. He sprinted into the forest, and I watched him vanish into the depths. I was about to collapse back onto my bed when I saw Iris run in the forest after him. My gut knew what was going to happen. I didn't want to stop it. If that's what they needed to do, that's what they needed to do. "He will not touch my mate,"
