let
her go. Please.”
    Edward swung a kick and I heard
the breath go out of James as it connected with his ribs.
    “I can’t let her go… you still
don’t get it. He went looking for the best of us. The fastest. The strongest.
The smartest. And when he found us, he stripped away everything that made us
human. He stripped it away with pain and tragedy and fire. He took away
everything we held dear, so all that was left was the animal within. And then
he rebuilt us in his image. He made us desperate. He turned us into weapons. We
had to lose everything so he could make us the best that we could be.”
    Edward kicked James again and I
had to bite my tongue to stop myself from crying out.
    “And for the best of us, the
best of the best, a prize. The prize. Her.”
    What? What the hell was
Paddington Fucking Bear on about?
    “I can’t let her go because
she’s what we’re fighting for. She’s what you’re going to die for, because ’m
stronger than you.”
    KICK
    “I’m faster than you.”
    KICK
    “I’m smarter than…”
    “NO!” I screamed, “leave him
alone. You win. You can have me. We can have dinner, go for a walk in the
woods, whatever the hell you want. Just leave him alone.”
    Edward paused and turned from
James to me as he considered my offer. But he clearly had the upper hand. I was
in no position to bargain for James’ life.
    “I don’t think so.”
    As he pulled his leg back for
another kick James shifted and lunged for Edward’s exposed ankle. There was a
sickening crunch as his powerful jaws clamped down and tore a massive chunk of
flesh, bone and god-knows-what else out of it.
    Edward screamed, more in rage
than in pain. A scream that turned into a mighty bellowing raw as he shifted
back into bear form. But almost instantly his ankle gave way, unable to support
the massive weight it was being asked to.
    He hit the ground with a thud
and now it was James who had the upper hand. He used speed and mobility to his
advantage. Darting within range to nip and claw at Edward’s massive immobile
form and darting away before he could cuff him with his huge paw.
    When Edward shifted back, he
groaned in pain. His body covered in cuts and scratches, one foot a bloody mess
as blood poured out of the wound at his ankle.
    “Well,” he grinned, “if you're
going to fight dirty then fuck it. Kill him!”
    He called to his guards, his pet
wolves that watched from the shadows. They came padding forwards from the trees
and my heart sunk. Despite gaining the upper-hand with Edward, James wasn’t in
any kind of state to take on another wolf. Let alone four… no make that five…
of them.
    “Do it you dumb fucking wolves.
FINISH HIM!”
    But the wolves kept coming.
Eight… nine… ten… They formed a semicircle around the two injured men, heads
low, their golden eyes shining in the dusk.
    Edward coughed, then started
laughing. It was a desperate haunting sound that burst out from between painful
gurgling breaths. At first I was confused. I didn’t understand what was
happening, but then I smelt it. I smelt something more than family. A bond
deeper than blood. I smelt a pack.
    James had brought friends. Lots
of friends. They’d taken care of the guards while James and Edward fought.
    They shifted and I was surprised
to see it was Dan who led them. In the month since I’d seen James exile him,
the young man had grown-up, and filled out. There was a strength there that I
hadn’t seen before. A commanding presence that suited him.
    I wondered what had changed him
and then I saw an unfamiliar woman standing beside him. There was a story
there, I was sure. She was a gorgeous woman, a shifter mate, who looked at him
with the sort of adoration that made my heart ache. The sort of look that
reminded me of the way I felt about James.
    J ames!
    I ran to him and fell to my
knees in the blood-soaked mud.
    “Oh James, what did he do to
you?”
    He grinned at me. Through blood and dirt he grinned that
