stared at the wall in front of her.
She felt sick. Her whole body was shaking and her throat was so tight that she couldn't breathe.
She turned very slowly to face the stairs.
Alistair grinned at her, standing only a step below her.
"Erik! she shouted down the phone before Alistair knocked it flying.
It smashed into pieces on the hall floor below her. She almost tripped over the step as she backed away

from Alistair, fear overwhelming her.
"I heard you outside the meeting room ... sneaky little bitch, aren't you?"
She shook her head and struggled to keep on her feet as her knees threatened to buckle beneath her.
Her eyes darted to the corridor on her right. Before she'd even moved a foot to run down it, Alistair's
hand was around her throat and he'd slammed her into the wall. He pressed her into it. It was cold
against her back. Her hands came up, nails digging into Alistair's arms in an attempt to make him let go.
He squeezed her throat harder.
Tears filled her eyes and she choked. Her brows furrowed and she prayed that he wouldn't hurt her.
"I want everything from him, and until I heard you in the hall, I thought that killing him would achieve
that. Alistair stepped up to her, his body pressing against hers.
She wriggled, trying to get away from him. Her body shook and her heart trembled. She kept telling
herself that this wasn't happening. Any minute now, she'd wake up, or Erik would rescue her.
"I realised something ... you're his too. Alistair grinned, exposing canines to her, and she gasped when
his hand rubbed against her crotch. You stink like him. I think I'll take you from him too."
She shook her head. Please, no..."
He laughed at her. What was that? Please?"
She leaned her head away from him when he went to kiss her. Closing her eyes as he licked her neck,
she pushed against his chest, trying to force him off her. It only made him shove her harder against the
wall. His mouth was on hers before she could do anything. It sickened her and she felt the tears streak
down her face as she continued to struggle against him.
"You taste so fucking good, he breathed the words against her lips and kissed her again, his tongue
forcing its way into her mouth.
She frowned and bit down on his tongue at the same time as kneeing him hard in the balls.
He dropped her and clutched at himself, growling in fury and pain. She didn't stop to check him or even
think. She ran the moment he released her, sprinting as fast as she could down the stairs and out into the
garden. She could feel him coming after her, had known when she'd attacked him that she'd only have a
few seconds to get away. She looked around as she hit the open air and saw the maze.
Running for it, she pushed herself past her limit, desperate to survive and get away from Alistair. She had
to buy herself time. Erik would be here soon.
Behind her, Alistair roared.

The car skidded on the gravel as Erik slammed his foot down on the brakes. He was out of the door in a
split second, not stopping to turn the engine off or even put the handbrake on. He growled when he saw

ran, he focused on getting to Kim before it was too late.
He should've known that his brother was up to something.
Killing him?
Alistair was about to find out that that wasn't as easy as it sounded.
After all, he was the one that was going to die for killing their parents and laying a finger on Kim.
Changing into a panther as he entered the maze, he roared as he left his clothes behind and sprinted after
Alistair. He used his senses to guide him towards his brother and Kim. He could smell her more clearly
than this brother would be able to.
He turned each corner sharply, growling the whole time, knowing that Alistair would be able to hear him.
He was closing in.
A sharp cry of pain left him as he was tackled hard and fell into the hedge. He kicked back immediately,
grappling with his brother and trying to bite him. His brother evaded him, managing to bite down on his
front leg. He growled and threw Alistair off him.
Pouncing, he leapt on Alistair's back and bit down hard on his ear, tearing a chunk out of it. Alistair
whimpered and rolled, trying to get him off his back. He dug his claws in and kicked his back legs,
ripping into Alistair's back and biting the back of his neck.
He shook his head, tossing Alistair around. He could sense Kim nearby and hoped to God she wasn't
