Without another word, I turned and headed for the door.
Kieran reached out and grabbed my arm, stopping me in my tracks. "Was your mom upset about what happened? I can explain it to her."
His words felt like a slap in the face. I jerked my arm free, my eyes blazing with fury. "Save your excuses, Kieran. I said I’m done with you."
"Baby, you can let her go," Nina said calmly latching onto his arm, "If her mother hadn't pretended to be sick, how could you have been forced to marry her?"
In that moment, something inside me snapped, and my wolf instincts took over. My claws extended from my fingertips and I grasped Nina's shoulders, my fingers digging deep into her skin.
"How dare you?" I hissed, my voice turning animalistic. "My mother is dead!"
"Kieran, do something!" Nina let out a shrill scream, her eyes darting to Kieran for rescue. "She is going to kill me!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Kieran suddenly pulled Nina away from me, shoving me aside. I stumbled, catching myself on the staircase railing just in time to avoid tumbling down.
