"Why?" Rogue taunted. "Can you feel yourself losing control?"

"Please, please stop," Ace pleaded with Rogue.

"But don't you want to hear about how she killed her father?"

"She did not!" Raiden cried, looking the most alive that he had in days. Tai's eyes filled with tears, but she wasn't upset. She was furious. Indianna noticed a shift in her and she glanced at Greyson worriedly.

"This girl seems to kill anyone she is close with," Rogue said. "I don't want somebody as dangerous as her around my sister or my niece and nephew, especially since she's hidden the truth from the majority of you. It makes you think, is she hiding any more dirty little secrets?"

Tai shot up from her seat, seething with rage.

"Look at her, she is a dangerous little thing, isn't she?"

"Why are you doing this?" Ace cried. "You're purposely infuriating her!"

"She needs to leave," Raiden called, standing up and looking at his sister in concern. "You need to get her out of here."

"Ace!" Greyson commanded. "You heard him."

"Do not touch me," Tai said, her voice eerily quiet. "Ace, please, I don't know what I'm going to do and I do not want you to get hurt."

"She'll kill you too if you're not careful," Rogue called and leaned back in his chair, smiling triumphantly at the chaos he had caused.

"That's enough!" Indianna called, standing up and looking down at Rogue. "This has gone too far, Jason."

"I'm only making you aware of who you're letting into your home, little sister," Rogue said. "You should be thanking me. I'm keeping you safe from her."

"I would not harm her!" Tai growled and she shifted from foot to foot anxiously, clenching and unclenching her fists. She looked around in panic, searching for the nearest exit. She could feel herself losing control and she was surprised that she hadn't shifted already.

"I think you would," Rogue whispered. "You harmed your own father. You killed him. You murdered your foster parents-"

"Ace, step away from me," Tai ordered.

"No-"

"Get the hell away me from!" Tai yelled and Ace jumped back when Tai slammed her fists down onto the table, sending a crack running down the middle of it.

"You really want this around your future children, sister?"

"Jason, stop it!" Brandon called. "This is enough."

"You don't get to comment, Brandon. Don't think I haven't noticed your loyalties shifting!"

"Ace, fucking hell, sort your mate out!" Greyson yelled.

"ENOUGH!" Tai screamed and her eyes started to change colour. Indianna looked at Greyson in panic when claws started to extend from Tai's fingers.

"Everyone, get the hell out!" Raiden shouted, noticing the shift in his sister. He had seen her lose control on many occasions, and he recognised the rigidity to her shoulders, the clench of her jaw and the distant look in her eye. She was too far gone. Nothing was bringing her back.

She was going to lose control.

"Seriously, we need to-"

But it was too late. Tai's scream filled the pack house as she shifted and she lost control of herself. All she could see was red.

Indianna scrambled away from the table as Tai's wolf leaped onto the surface, teeth bared and growling loudly. Indianna reached out for Greyson blindly, but her fingers slipped through his as something crashed into her and she fell to the floor.

There were screams. Indianna's senses were overloaded as carnage erupted around them. She couldn't focus on anyone as everything was moving so fast.

Tai's wolf had lunged.

She had attacked.

And there was so much blood.
