"What have you done to her?!" I screamed at them, my head still swimming from the sounds of Nessie's screams. I was desperate to rush to the aid of my imprint.

"We have given her a choice. She has chosen wisely." Marcus answered somberly.

I looked over to see him standing at my right, hovering just above Nessie's prone form on the forest floor. His face was just the opposite of his comrade. His eyes were vacant, his face cold and expressionless.

My eyes searched the open clearing for my pack but I saw no one.

The clearing was deserted. Blood painted the blades of grass surrounding us red. I didn't know if my pack was dead or alive. I didn't know if the Cullens had been dealt their final death either.

They'd all vanished.

"What choice?" I ground out, lifting my head and feeling the biting cut of metal on my skin.

The collar.

Those damned leeches had collared me like they did in Volterra. I wouldn't be able to phase. The metal collar would not break during the change and I would be decapitated if I tried. My wolf growled, chained below the surface, and I scowled at my enemy.

"What choice?!" I repeated, screaming hoarsely.

Caius laughed, shaking his head at my impotent roar. "Poor wolf. You should have known better than to take on a greater force than yourself." His red eyes looked over at my suffering mate before shooting back to me. "You'll soon beg me for a quick end, dog."

His sneer caused my wolf to shake with crippled rage.

I cursed them both but the words were cut off by the blunt edge of a tree limb against my temple, causing me to black out once again.
