“Give him the bite.” Deucalion’s word repeated in Ethan’s mind during the night he spent with Danny. His eyes trailing over the tanned and smooth skin, imagining how good it would feel to be able to really bite into it. To infect his bloodstream and make Danny his Beta. As Danny slept by him, he soothed his fingers over the skin, watching the teen grunt quietly and lean into the touch in his sleep. 

One thing he could never admit to to the Alpha pack was that he felt for Danny, he was an open and loving guy, nothing Ethan had ever seen before. He had it all calculated. Seduce. Gain trust. Kill. But Deucalion must have seen something in Danny to change his mind, to want him to join instead. 

Ethan leaned down and pressed his lips against Danny’s neck, dragging the blunt teeth along the skin lightly, finding his way to a jugular. A quick and clean infection. Once he got to the perfect place, he flashed his eyes, grew his fangs and pierced straight through without hesitation. 

Danny cried out and tried to yank himself away from Ethan for a few seconds before he pulled away and watched Danny fall back against the bed. He waited, running a hand through the teens hair but, it wasn’t right. Danny should have been up by now, asking him what the hell happened and why everything was so loud. Ethan’s eyes widened as he reached for a pulse and… No. 

“Give him the bite” because he’s in your way. 

Deucalion knew. 

He knew the bite would kill him.
