The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 190\u00a0<\/p>\n
The helplessness was eating me alive from the inside. All my life I had been able to protect the people I cared about through sheer force of will and Alpha dominance, but none of that mattered here. None of my training or experience or natural abilities could help Athena now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned away from me and started walking toward Orion with movements that were slow and deliberate and absolutely dangerous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could see her shoulders rising and falling with each step and I could feel the heat radiating from her body like she had become a living furnace. The\u00a0<\/p>\n
air around her seemed to shimmer with the intensity of whatever power was flowing through her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My pulse was hammering so hard in my ears that it drowned out almost everything else and I knew exactly what she was about to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had seen what she had done to Seraphine and Daxon, had seen the dried husks that used to be living, breathing people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was going to kill him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was going to kill Orion and there was nothing I could do to stop her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The thought sent a fresh wave of panic through me that was so intense it made my vision blur.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she killed him while under the influence of this power, I knew it would destroy whatever humanity she had left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pushed my palms against the cold stone floor and tried to force myself to stand but my body wouldn\u2019t obey me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My arms shook with the effort and gave out almost immediately, sending me crashing back down to the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had nothing left to give and barely enough strength to keep my eyes open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The life force that Athena had drained from me was slow to return, if it would return at all, and I felt like a shadow of my former self.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I tried reaching out to my wolf but he too felt so far away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Orion and his face was carved from stone with his jaw tight and his hands clenched into fists at his sides.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t even look at me but I could feel his anger radiating off him like heat from a blade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
70\u00a0<\/p>\n
His anger was different from mine though. Where I felt desperate and broken and willing to do anything to save her, his rage was cold and calculating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was preparing for war, preparing to do whatever was necessary to stop the thing that had taken his sister.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And I didn\u2019t care about his anger or his commands or his plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If killing me was what it took to bring Athena back then I would let her do it. If dying with her was the only way to reach whatever part of her was still trapped inside that thing then I would die gladly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she wasn\u2019t coming for me now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was walking toward her brother with death in her silver eyes and I could feel through our bond that the thing controlling her saw Orion as a threat that needed to be eliminated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 190\u00a0<\/p>\n
And I was too weak to stop her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Shift! Orion\u2019s command boomed through the chamber again, stronger and sharper than before, and I felt it hit her with enough force to make her wolf\u00a0<\/p>\n
surface.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The power in his voice was incredible, layered with all the authority he had developed over years of leading his own pack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the kind of command that could stop a rampaging wolf in its tracks, that could force submission from even the most rebellious pack member.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her body jerked violently and cracks tore across her skin that was still glowing. She screamed and it was a sound so raw and animalistic that it scraped down my spine and left me shaking even harder than before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sound she made wasn\u2019t entirely human and wasn\u2019t entirely wolf. It was something else, something that spoke of pain and rage and a power too great for any mortal body to contain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
