“That may be true, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong,” Nessa said. “She won’t let go of this fear that there is a hidden enemy no matter how many times it is proven to her that it’s not true.”
“But you said yourself someone is watching our systems.”
“Yes,” Nessa replied. “But she doesn’t believe that. She only believes her fear.”
“So, you think she is afraid of Alice? That doesn’t make sense. She seems to want to kill her more than being afraid of her.”
Nessa shook her head.
“She’s not afraid of Alice. That’s just a convenient focus for her anger.”
“Then what is she afraid of?”
“Herself,” Nessa said. “The guilt she carries for the wolves she has hurt or killed.”
Clara took a deep breath and then slowly let it go.
“So, you were trying to help her?”
Nessa nodded.
“I thought you didn’t even like her?” Clara questioned.
“I don’t,” Nessa said, moving back toward the computer.
“So, you just tried to get yourself killed to help someone you don’t even like?” Clara asked.
Nessa shrugged.
“It’s how I was raised,” she said. “It’s basically compulsive.”
Clara’s eyes widened.
“You compulsively help people by offending them?”
Nessa nodded.
Clara swallowed.
“I think you were right,” she said. “I will go to Selene’s party myself. You stay here with Shae.”
Nessa couldn’t help but laugh.
“Selene!” Fiona shouted, trying to get her attention as she used all her strength to try and control Selene’s movements.
But Selene wasn’t responding. Instead, she let out snarls and growls as she twisted and turned, trying to escape Fiona’s grasp.
Her eyes were so bright that Fiona could hardly see the hazel in them.
“Selene!” she shouted again. “Wake up!”
Selene growled and thrust her hips forward, knocking Fiona off of her. She got to her feet and sniffed the air before moving toward the door. As she reached for the handle, she was grabbed roughly by the shoulders and thrown three feet back to the ground.
Selene looked up. Fiona stood guarding the door, looking down at her with determination in her eyes. She reached up and pressed the pin to her chest. The armor covered her body, and she materialized the bo staff, preparing for Selene to attack.
She did not wait long.
Selene got to her feet again and jumped at Fiona, who prepared to defend with her staff. But unlike all the times they had fought before, Selene wasn’t trying to avoid the fight this time.
As Fiona swung the staff in Selene’s direction, Selene saw the movement and reached for the staff. She grabbed hold of it and used it to redirect the force of her body down on top of it. Shattering the staff into the raw black material.
Fiona’s eyes widened as she was stunned by the action.
Selene quickly turned and punched her mother-in-law, catching her under the jaw and sending her flying back against the door to the lab.
Fiona growled and pushed off the wall.
Selene and Fiona exchanged several blows, each hitting hard and fast. When Selene took advantage of Fiona’s waning stamina, she moved as though she would punch her in the face. Instead, she shifted her weight to bring her knee into Fiona’s stomach.
Fiona fell to her knees, coughing. She spat and saw the blood that was expelled from her mouth..
Selene prepared to come for her once more when suddenly the air around her became thin and heavy. She grabbed her throat as though she expected to find something wrapped around it, but there was nothing.
Her lungs began to burn, her chest felt heavy, and the rest of her body soon did too. Finally, she fell forward onto one knee.
“Submit!” Fiona growled.
Selene lifted her head to see Fiona standing, her eyes brighter than Selene had ever seen.
“Submit, damn it!” Fiona shouted.
The pain in Selene’s chest was getting worse, and her body was shaking from the immense weight she felt in the air.
But her rage was burning white hot.
Fiona gasped as the light in Selene’s eyes grew brighter, appearing as though the moon shone through them.
Selene got back up to her feet.
Now it was Fiona that felt the air from her lungs sucked away. The heaviness on her body was immediate and brought her crashing to her knees.
She tried to cry out, but there was no sound, no voice.
“Stop!”
Selene heard his voice before she felt his arms wrap around her shoulders.
His touch calmed her, and his presence fell over her like a warm blanket. She leaned back against him and inhaled his scent.
“What’s happening?” she asked as though she were waking from a dream.
“Shh, it’s ok,” Alexander whispered against her throat. “I’m right here. Just focus on me.”
Fiona gasped desperately for air as Selene’s power let her go.
“Galen!” she called out between gasps. “Stop!”
Galen stood behind Selene, with a look of fear and anger mixed as one. He held his dagger above her, readied to come down against the back of her throat.
A few feet away, Alexander stood. His eyes burned bright.
Galen pulled back, taking a deep breath. The dagger fell apart into the black material that absorbed into his armor.
He ran past Selene.
“Are you okay?” he asked. Grabbing Fiona’s face and making her look at him. “Are you okay?”
Fiona took several deep breaths.
“I’m fine,” she said between breaths. “I’m fine.”
“Are you sure?” he demanded.
“Galen, I am fine,” she said, turning to look at him herself. “But what the hell were you thinking?”
Galen looked away.
“I wasn’t,” he said. “I just reacted when I saw what she was doing to you.”
“Honey, no…” Fiona said, grabbing his chin. “You have got to be more in control of yourself than that.”
“She was killing you!” Galen growled.
Fiona sighed. She touched Galen’s cheek gently.
“I’m sorry,” she said sadly.
Galen looked away.
“What happened?” he asked. “Why did she attack you?”
“Oh, Goddess…” Selene whispered as she woke from Alexander’s hold.
She took two steps forward and stopped as she looked at Fiona. As she saw the blood along her mouth and the bruises already forming. Selene dropped to her knees as the memory of what she had done washed over her.
