The moment Ethan stepped towards Eva with the syringe with the milky substance in it, Eva let out a warning growl, her eyes flashing a predatory yellow as Kalla pushed to try and take over. Eva knew Kalla was the stronger form but the wolfsbane still hadn't cleared her system fully and there was no chance she'd be able to take on three full-strength males in either form. That didn't stop Eva from kicking out when Ethan got close, the heel of her boot slamming into his knee with a sickening snap.
Ethan howled in pain, his leg bent at an angle as he staggered back from the force, his eyes flashing at the female in rage, baring his teeth as he seemed to struggle to keep control of his wolf. Breathing in deeply, Ethan stilled, his eyes closing as he calmed himself down as if flipping a switch inside of him. After a moment, he pushed his leg back into place with another sickening crack before it healed at the wrong angle. The sound was enough to make Eva's stomach turn and she even felt bile rise in her throat. She forced it down, glaring at the maniac before her.
"Come near me again and next time it'll be more than just a busted knee." Eva snarled, challenging Ethan to try anything.
"Any here was me thinking you'd be a good girl and accept defeat." Ethan tsked, his eyes flicking away from Eva to the two rogues standing by. "Tie her legs down. We've wasted enough time."
"Much better." Ethan sneared, his eyes cruel and dark despite their warm chocolate brown colour. "Now this won't hurt one bit, unfortunately."
Ethan's free hand grabbed Eva's by the hair, yanking her head back painfully and making Eva wince as her scalp felt like it was on fire. Before she could react, the syringe was pushed into her neck and the milky substance plunged into her system.
"See? You made a fuss over nothing." Ethan cooed mockingly. "Now for Daniel's dose."
"Unfortunately it's going to take at least an hour for your drug to kick in." Ethan finally announced. "But not to worry, we will give you a little alone time since it's the last you'll be getting together."
Eva just glared at Ethan whilst he and his followers left. The first thing Eva was doing when she got her hands on Ethan was punching that smug smile off his face. The rage in her roiled in her depths, her eyes leaving the door the males had left through to look at Daniel who still hadn't made a sound. If it weren't for the fact she could hear the Alpha's heartbeat and see his chest rising and falling, she would have thought he was dead. The thought alone made her shudder. If Ethan was successful with his plan then Daniel was a dead man and Eva doubted her fate was any different.
"Get your strength back." She muttered to herself, realising she had stupidly wasted her energy on trying to escape Ethan's clutches only to fail.
Killing Ethan meant he wouldn't be able to harm anymore people. Eva knew itwas a suicide mission given her slightly weakened state and Ethan provingto be cunning and stronger but it was starting to feel like her only option.
"Okay Kalla," Eva sighed. "We need to get out of this chair before Daniel wakes up."
She felt Kalla agreeing with her, the she-wolf unhappy with being drugged. Eva closed her eyes, focusing on clearing her mind and trying to connect with Kalla through the fog created by the Wolfsbane. The darkness that stretched between Eva and her wolf counterpart seemed thick and sticky like molasses, pressing down from all corners. Eva had never experienced Wolfsbane before so this was anew experience and one Eva never wanted to experience again. It felt like it was suffocating her and yet she could only imagine what it felt like for Daniel who had been given a hell of a lot more.
"I'm afraid it has." Ethan's voice echoed through the darkness. "Right on time as well. I must remember to givethat witch a little something extra for her good work."
Eva bit her bottom lip trying to tame her racing heart as she felt Kalla pacing restlessly in the back of her mind like a caged animal. It occurred to her now that Kalla would succumb to her basal instincts if she let thewolf takeover but she needed her strength if she was going to get free and stop Ethan before he killed Daniel.
"I can see you're fighting it Eva," Ethan chuckled brushing his knuckles against Eva's bare arm making her shudder. "Just give in. It will be far less painless. And whoknows? Maybe I'll let you fuck your boyfriend one more time before I kill you both."
"Not if I kill you first." Eva snarled and snapped the remaining ties with ease.
Eva wasn't about to let Ethan recover or get away. Growling, she stalked after Ethan as collapsed into the wet earth.
