282. Her Power
~ CASIMIR ~
I didn’t know what had happened, but suddenly all of Maya’s insistence about her power made my blood run cold.
To my physical eyes she was just there—half-crouched in fear, her face pale, lips slack, and eyes somehow both bright and glazed.
I could feel the exhaustion on her. And no wonder. Because my power-wrought senses rang with recognition.
She shuddered and I felt her body convulse inside.
She was swallowing back power, not letting it release—and it was going to consume her, soul first.

~ CASIMIR ~As I took hold of that raging ocean of power and my entire existence swelled with it, there was a fleeting thought—my father, snarling, insisting that a true mate would weaken me. As I took in the sheer breadth of the power she'd just thrown at me, the pure, unadulterated wrongness of that statement would have made me laugh if I’d had room to breathe. Instead I filed the bitter denial away to be fully explored at a later date.But there would be no later date if I didn’t quickly figure out how to release this power in a meaningful, controllable way.The ocean rose in a wave, crashing on the shore of me, and I shuddered,

I was sitting in the dirt, frustrated and shaking as everyone grew frantic.“Stop,” I hissed, but the words were thick on my tongue. “I’m jus’ tired.”I tipped my head back to find Jesse, because I couldn’t seem to move my eyes properly. She stood over me, her eyes so wide they were white all the way around. I tried to lift a hand to soothe her. “Iss okay. Imma be fine—"Rake was there, pulling her back and away from me even as he scanned

Couldn’t open my eyes, couldn’t speak, couldn’t move. I was trapped. Caged. And my wolf was losing its mind.I tried to calm myself—aware enough to know that something had to have happened. That I hadn’t just closed my eyes and woken up like this.But what?In the darkness, distant and echoing, I could hear voices. Particularly Maya’s. But I couldn’t figure out who she was talking to. The sounds and tones slipped away before I could gather them.But I could feel my aunt—her fierce protectiveness, her
