Zuriel Anger: I'd never felt as much rage against someone as I did for River. My wolf takes over when I see her hitting my mate. Elara is on the floor, covered in blood. I can't hear anything past my growls. I pin the man who worked in my home for years to the ground with my leg while I grab River by the neck and throw her across the wall. I lift the security guard and squeeze his throat; he is shaking in fear, whimpering as he knows his end is near. River attempts to run away but is struck down by Eloise before she can get far. I glare at the security guard with fury, and before he can utter a word, I hit him until he is bleeding. I leave his unconscious body on the floor and approach River. She is backing away from me, sobbing, tears streaming down her face, and I can hear the blood
