Free Connors Pursuit (Amber Woods Shifters) by Arabella Rose

wolf was become agitated, the moment the anger started a low growl had started in her head. What the hell is up with you, why are you angry as well, give me an answer damn it!!!! Her wolf snarled at her, pacing restlessly. She needed out and Lizzy could not give her that. Clutching the side of her head she stumbled back against the refrigerator.
    “Fuck Lizzy what the hell is wrong?” Brianna shouted.
    “We need to get Michael, something is really wrong!” Anna replied.
    The voices sounded distant, and that pissed her and her wolf off even more. Snarling she pushed against helping hands.
    “No leave me alone, don’t come near me”
    Her voice had dropped an octave her wolf vying for attention. If only she could release her, let her run free, let her have control even for a short time. Brianna was seriously worried, the change in Lizzy had been rapid, and she had never seen her eyes change to silver, the glow had been temporary but enough to highlight the fact that that was not normal shit. She was trying to keep her emotions calm but each passing second that Lizzy became more agitated, Brianna’s anxiety went up a little. Obviously she did not contain them enough judging by the shouting in her head from Marcus, who by now she was pretty sure was barrelling his way over here. Just fuckin perfect. The front door sounded loud as it opened and Brianna was relieved that Connor had arrived first.
    The walk next door only took seconds but in those few precious moments Connor had a sudden surge of emotions soar through him. The impact was so sudden he had physically grasped his chest, trying to relieve the pressure. He knew in an instant it was Lizzy, they may not be bonded but they were fated mates and that was good enough for him. His long legs ate up the distance in no time, as the front door opened he could feel the anger pulsing through the house, followed by a deeper voice of Lizzy. The moment he entered the Kitchen his wolf was growling and clawing at the need to protect their mate. Her eyes were wild, her wolf sitting very close to the surface, the aggression coming off her was increasing by the second. Connor knew she was internally battling with something and it was angering her wolf. Stepping to Brianna and Anna he pushed them carefully to the back of the kitchen, sending out his beta energy to reassure them. Brianna gave him a look that said she had no idea what was going on either. Quietly, he approached Lizzy, keeping his actions calm and controlled, she looked like she was going to bolt any minute.
    “Hey baby, want to tell me what’s going on?”
    Her eyes flashed silver as they scanned over him. Shit this was scaring the crap out of her. Lizzy knew that all she needed was to get the hell out of here where she could not harm anyone, because right now everyone was pissing her off. She begged and prayed in her head for the sensations to go away. Then she heard Connor and something switched inside, her wolf stopped pacing and began to whine. Her breathing was fast as she knew she had to respond to his question, to reassure him.
    “ I don’t know what’s happening to me Connor” she rasped out.
    Carefully she felt his arms wrap around her, holding her close, stroking her hair. The soothing reassuring sounds had her relaxing instantly, the raging emotions and burning inside of her subsided.
    “BRIANNA!”
    Uh oh. That was definitely one pissed off alpha, the energy in the room was almost suffocating. Connor turned with Lizzy in his arms to address Marcus. The huge alpha pulled Brianna into his arms tight, claws unsheathed, canines descended brutally sharp.
    “What the fuck happened in here?” he managed to snarl out.
    “I’m not sure yet my alpha, but I think I need to get Lizzy out of here first”
    Marcus flickered his eyes over Lizzy, then to Connor.
    “Get her settled then we talk”
    Connor nodded, before taking Lizzy’s trembling hand and leading her out of the kitchen. Marcus pulled back, pushing
