Lia"s brown wolf made a straight line for Eros" much bigger and stronger form.Her claws and canines were bared as if she was doing this to get back at him for never noticing her.
This was terrible timing if that was the case.
Eros growled loudly at her awfully daring challenge, causing all the birds and wildlife to flee at hearing such a feral and predator-like noise.
The hairs on my body stood on end in response, and I had to stop the urge to cower back.
Eros didn"t take too lightly to her trying to stop him from coming to me.
It was pretty obvious that his logical human side was gone, replaced by feral instincts in the form of his blood beast.
From research, I knew that werewolves were very territorial of their family, especially wounded ones.
Anyone or anything that got in the way would be eradicated without a warning.
In this case, Lia happened to be the current roadblock.
Eros was going to eradicate her really quickly if I don"t intervene.
With that last thought, I spurred into action.
I opened the car door and shakily stepped out, hoping I don"t fall over into a dead faint.
But before I could say or do anything, he charged at Lia.
And she was sent flying across the road until her gigantic wolf body slammed into a nearby tree.
There was an awfully horrendous thud that echoed in the aftermath.
"Eros! Stop! Stop it!" I screamed loudly as if my words would have any effect.
It was like he didn"t hear anything I said or chose to ignore it.
Eros picked Lia up by the scruff of her neck.
And I could see strings of blood start dripping down her fur in rivulets.
His sharp canines ripped through the fur, and I was terrified that he would bite off her head.
I deftly noted that he was playing with her like she was a chew toy, ready to kill her at any given moment.
"Stop Eros!" I screamed again as tears burned my eyes.
He paused for a brief second from my outburst before he tossed her wounded body down like a broken rag doll.
I sighed out in relief only to stop breathing the next.
Regardless of my words, Eros stepped onto her face with his clawed foot and dug his heel into her maw with terrifying force.
Lia"s wolf form immediately faded until she was forced back into her humanoid one, crumbled to the ground completely naked.
At this point, I saw more blood than I did skin.
It covered her entire face, neck and back in expansive red spots that looked horrendously gruesome.
Albeit the wound on her neck and face looked pretty severe, it didn"t kill her.
At that realization, a relieved exhale of air left my burning lungs again.
"Don"t get close to him," Lia weakly cautioned.
She coughed out a handful of blood.
And I grimaced when I saw her broken nose.
Eros became mad at her words because he proceeded to kick her out of the way.
By the time her body stopped against a tall tree, Lia was unconscious.
I swallowed the lump in my throat and sighed.
I admit that I felt rather hesitant in approaching him in the beginning, but that was only because his raging anger and uncontrolled fury had startled me.
That wasn"t the case now that I can see all the insecurities, worry, and love s.h.i.+ning in the red depths of his beautiful eyes.
How could I be scared of the man who chose to love me so unconditionally and doted on me with everything he had?
Regardless of what form he took, he was still Eros.
He was still the man I love wholeheartedly.
Why would I choose to run from him?
I swallowed loudly.
Now that there was nothing between us, Eros slowly started to prowl to my side.
His eyes were still red, s.h.i.+ning eerily in the gradually dimming light, and I don"t really think he recognizes me.
The crazed and predator-like glint in his eyes were filled with this underlying layer of rage that made him seem even more menacing and bloodthirsty.
