our
homes because humans have made the land uninhabitable. As of tonight, we go on
the map as the most powerful predator on the planet. From this point forward,
every species alive will be at our bidding.”
    Rafe and Ran growled, positioning themselves to leap. But
Angela moved faster. She darted around them, fearing tonight was the night of
reckoning. There wouldn’t be any talking out this situation. One side would win
and the other would die.
    “By selling ourselves to humans and doing their dirty work?”
she yelled. “We aren’t making ourselves the best species on the planet. We’re
turning ourselves into slaves, killers who will wipe out scum humans decide
shouldn’t walk this planet. Do you really want us to be at the mercy of humans?”
    She glared at Robert, and even though she saw Devon’s huge,
dark frame lunge at her from the side, the cries from other jaguars on the
street, yelling their support and confusion, distracted her a moment longer
than she had. She ached to hear who defended her, to know once and for all
where each litter stood. Devon plowed into her, forcing the air out of her
lungs and hitting her with a stinging impact that sent her flying sideways.
    She didn’t hit the ground though. He scooped her into the
air, sending her legs flying out underneath her like a rag doll. Angela landed
on his shoulder, her stomach immediately churning from the stench of his
emotions and body sweat.
    She twisted, kicked, pounded and scratched. Devon didn’t
react. He took flight, starting to run down the street with her flapping like a
rag doll on top of him. It was as if he won a round and raced through the
streets, showing off his prize.
    “Put me down!” She was no fucking trophy, especially not for
this asshole.
    He grunted, or possibly laughed, but simply tightened his
grip when she twisted. If she changed, he would too. And she wouldn’t be able
to overpower Devon in her fur, not when he was already holding her. He would
kill her instantly.
    And death wasn’t on her itinerary for tonight.
    Glancing up, she stared at the street behind her, and at
Raul, Rafe and Ran who quickly gained distance as they chased after them. There
were others too. Litters were everywhere, running toward them or watching, but
everywhere. They were right earlier when they said Colony wouldn’t be the same
after tonight. But she thought it was her littermate’s actions that would
destroy everything, not hers.
    Raul gained speed and the determination and anger lining his
dark features were terrifying. Her blood sizzled in her veins, igniting fire
that rushed down her spine and made it damn hard not to transform into her fur.
So much aggression and fury were too much for her human body to handle.
    “You aren’t going to ruin our chances,” Devon howled, his
growl fierce as he cut off the road and raced between two homes on the outer
edge of Colony.
    “I haven’t ruined your chances,” she screamed, turning to
try to pound his head, do anything to make him drop her. “But I won’t be part
of your insane plan to turn us into killers for hire.”
    More than just Raul and his littermates chased them, and she
wasn’t sure they were all running to help her. It would be a bloodbath. They
wouldn’t have to worry about humans. They would destroy themselves.
    “There will be no opposition to our plan. This isn’t a
fucking democracy,” Devon growled, pinching his nasty fingers painfully into
her skin as he continued running.
    Her hair flew over her eyes. She twisted again in spite of
Devon practically squeezing the life out of her with his powerful biceps. When
she looked up through watery vision, fighting to see through strands of hair
that hindered her vision, not even the darkness blocked her view of Raul’s
hardened look. He was so close she could reach out and touch him.
    And she tried. Devon actually managed to run faster when
they hit the incline. And if he gripped her any harder, he would break ribs.
    Where the
