“Maybe just a tad bit excessive though.”

Alex watched in horror as Juno, her eyes red with blood rage, sunk her fangs into the Skinwalker’s neck and felt a surge of relief to feel the fresh blood running through her system and pushed her fangs in a little deeper.

“Juno!” Alex yelled over the woman’s cries of pains.

The Skinwalker struggled to release herself, but Juno used her free hand to grab her elbow and bend it back. A loud crack rang in the air as the bone snapped and her arm went limp, dropping the gun.

“Juno! Stop!”

Juno looked at Alex and her eyes widened when they met Alex’s. She slowly lifted her mouth, with blood dripping from it, her fangs still protruded.

The Skinwalker used her good arm to reach for the gun, and Alex started to rush forward but froze as a hand burst through her chest, clutching her heart.

Blood spilled out of her mouth as Juno yanked her hand back, still clutching the heart, and she fell dead to the ground.

“What the hell did you do?” Alex asked in a stunned voice, staring at her.

Juno stared at the heart in her hands and felt a huge wave of strength come over her. She sucked in a breath as she noticed that her fingernails had extended slightly to sharp, pointed tips that were not there a moment earlier.

Alex felt his heart stop as the gold tint in her eyes disappeared quickly.

Juno opened her mouth to say something, but closed it when Jethro, Luca and Delissio rounded the corner.

All three men stopped, looking between the body, a bloody faced Juno, and the heart in her hands.

“Juno,” Alex said sharply. “Drop it.”

Juno felt her fingernails return their normal size and dropped the heart before she raised one hand to her chin.

“It was self-defense,” Jethro said, looking between them as he, Luca and Delissio approached them.

Alex nodded, feeling numb as he stared at Juno.

“Maybe just a tad bit excessive though,” Delissio muttered, looking between Juno and the body before he turned and walked away, shaking his head.
