I lunged first for the man about to take Danny’s vampire genes out of him, snarling so loudly it woke Jakob up. Next I freed Jake, knowing we could work together on this. I became pack leader ultimately.

Then we both turned to kill them all. Danny struggled once more before I ripped him free of his bindings, and together we lunged to Edward. While he and I freed Edward, Jakob and Sawyer were busy tearing apart the scientists. Now all my friends were free except Nick.

I howled wildly, leaping out the door and crashing into an armed guard. Instantly I was shot down. My eyes glazed over, and I was burning again, and the last thing I saw was the man’s sneering face as he threw me carelessly over his shoulder adn began to walk away, while ordering the rest of his patrol to enter and deal with my friends.
