MAX'S POV
I groaned as I stumbled out of the corridor. The voices in my head blocked my reasoning. The angry growls and murmurs from my wolf made me grit in anger. I clenched my fist in rage, shutting my eyes in exasperation. I wanted it to stop, but simple yelling 'no' wasnt working. I had already tried that.
My wolf felt agitated, it was threatening to come out. I could sense the bloodlust, any experienced werewolf could sense the bloodlust.
It wanted to—no, I wanted to rip my brothers apart. The wolf is another entity in me, but It also amplified my emotions. I was jealous, I didn't like the way they touched Liv.
Liv.
Her perfect face, her tiny lips, and those glamorous eyes.
The way she looked at Callum with affection and how she enjoyed being touched by Callum more than any one else.
No!
My body has become distorted, shaking and drenched it sweat.
It was only a matter of time before it let loose.
But until then, I had to go somewhere, a place I couldn't harm anybody.
"You ignoring me?"
I gritted when I recognized that voice. It was my wolf speaking to me. I knew better than to listen to him. He was already torturing me on the inside. I didnt want any sort of pain added to my sufferings.
"Shut the fuck up!" I growled, kicking the door to my room open. I closed the door and went to the window, holding the frame. My claws digging into it.
"Stop! leave me alone!" I commanded, trying to take control, but he was stronger
"You know I'm right, you know why I'm here. When are you going to be a man and do something about our mate?" It snarled at me
"You can take them, kill them!" He continued, more fiercely this time
"Damn it, shut up!" I kicked the poor table by the window and it shattered into pieces.
"They are my brothers! What the fuck is wrong with you!"
"She is our mate! She is the one meant for us! Why do we have to share!" It hissed.
"Because that's how the god-damn Goddess works! She made Liv our mate, there is nothing I can do about it or share!" I punched the wall. My knuckles were severely bruised but my wolf powers kicked in and I started healing.
I walked over to the mini bar picked up a tequila and poured one into a glass cup.
"Now you shut the fuck up, while I take this. You accept it and you stop whining," My shaky hands grabbed the cup.
I was stronger than usual.
I could hear the tinkling noise as i held the glass.
I gulped down the content and proceeded for a refill.
My wolf growled.
It was so loud I thought it had come out of my body.
"You are being useless! What happened to the great Max? Future Alpha of the clan? Weak, sitting down there while your brothers fuck her to heaven knows where! Just like that Frank boy!"
Like a flare, my rage lit up and I punched the wall, and half of the ceiling partition in my room fell to the floor.
My claws were already protruding as I growled like an angry grizzly bear.
I bent low to the ground, struggling to stop the transformation, but I knew I was already losing.
He was winning again
Just then, the door opened and Callum walked in.
It disrupted my wolf and i was able to stop transforming.
"Now that's something we don't see every day," Callum let out as he whistled at the damaged ceiling.
"I knew you were the one causing the tremors in the mansion. I heard it from the lower grounds," he walked inside slowly with his hands in his pocket.
"What the fuck do you want?" I panted as I slowly stood up.
I turned to the mirror and saw that my eyes had already gone red with my skin too.
Callum walked up to me and stopped till we were a few feet apart.
After studying me for few seconds, he spoke.
"You know you can't have Liv all to yourself right?" He reminded me. I knew Callum and he was doing it on purpose.
Twenty seconds inside my room and he was already ticking me off.
"I fucking know that! You are not helping me, my wolf's out of control, look at me!" I panted.
"Your wolf is out of control? Hear yourself! You are the one meant to control your wolf, not the other way around!" Callum shot back at me.
.
I grunted in frustration.
I was sweating and suffering to remain in my original human form.
"I can't, I'm trying but I can't!" I replied. I stood up, my vision blurred, a side effects of strained transformation.
"Your wolf is abnormal," Callum retorted. "I always knew it," he looked at my chest like he could see my wolf through me
I growled. "Just because my wolf isn't like yours doesn't mean it's abnormal. He wants Liv for himself, that's just it," I groaned.
Callum scoffed at me, shaking his head in disagreement, but his lips remained mute. If he wasn't my brother, I would have ripped his heart out right there.
"What even makes you think she wants any of us as her mate? She hates us, you can see it in her eyes. If it weren't for the bond, she would despise us like plagues"
"Well you can't say shit until you try. I'm not sharing Liv with any fucker, be it my brother or some powerful Alpha," With the desperation in my tone, I didn't know if it was my wolf or myself talking, but either way, it felt good claiming what was mine. Or maybe I was beginning to let me wolf be in charge.
"You fucker," Callum's face twisted in disgust. He took a step forward, but Ryder suddenly slammed his way inside the room.
I groaned in frustration, turning away from Callum. "How pleasant, my room is now the new joint. Everybody can walk in without knocking," I glared at Ryder. I gave a last look at Callum and moved away from him.
"Guys, all your arguments are useless. It doesn't even matter right now, we have bigger problems," Ryder spoke anxiously, his eyes darting from me to Callum, failing to notice the tension, or he did, but chose not to pay any attention to it.
"What do you mean? I left you a while ago, you had your hands all over her. You seemed so lost Ryder"
Ryder furrowed his brow at me. "Shut the fuck up, this is serious,"
"What's wrong?" Callum pushed further.
"Remember the Darksky pack?" Ryder blurted out.
My teeth gritted as the first thing I thought about was Frank.
"The Alpha's three daughters are here," he continued. His frown deepened as he bit hard on his lips "And they also brought that Arse, Frank, their annoying brother," Ryder finished.
I clenched my fist, locking my jaw "Fuck." I gritted.
