I walked out, ready
“There you are, come on, we’re going for a run!” Gabby said and came to grab my hand. “Gabby, no, I have something-
“Don’t. Not yet,” she whispered and the sadness in her eyes was just heartbreaking.
“Sure, let’s go for a run,” I said and squeezed her hand. We didn’t shift at first, we took off our hoes and ran on the ground, through and down into the woods. I closed my eyes and allowed my other senses to take the stirring wheel as the wind embraced me. We all shifted and ran between the trees and tried catching up with each other.

Nick’s wolf slowed a little beside me and we stopped behind everyone else as they continued. He came up and started nuzzling me. He leaned his head over my wolves and they rubbed against abasing each other, both as pleased as they could ever be. Somehow this
Our ears made me feel worse because now I realized that I wasn’t just leaving my mate, I was taking my wolf away from hers. perked up and we looked around. We could hear it and the smell was undeniable. Someone was here and they weren’t with the pack. Nick took a protective stance next to me and started growling. He howled up at the sky, sending a warning to whoever it was to walk
away.
From behind the trees, we saw a pack of ferocious wolves coming towards us. They were walking slowly, taking their time and scanning us. They didn’t seem like rogues, which only made it worse. We were on the outskirts of the woods, near the end of the border but no wolf, not even rogues, would dare come onto to the pack grounds. With a few more steps to spare, they jumped and started
attacking. Nick and I were jumping at them, he was trying to protect me and I him, but they were far too many. I looked to the side for just a second and saw how he fought. His wolf was powerful by far and there was a hint of regret in the wolves’ steps as they ran

I was fighting off three wolves and someone came running into them and bit down. Four wolves circled me while the and the others were occupied by my friends. We growled and bared our my teeth, but it did little to keep them at bay. One of them attacked and I felt the sharp sting as he sunk his teeth into my wolf’s back. She yelped and stepped back. The next attack was two of them at the same time, one of them we managed to bite and the other sunk his teeth into side.

We looked over and saw Nick’s wolf, our eyes locked and I saw the desperation his eyes held. His bites became harder and his fighting more violent as he tried to kill his way over to me. Another bite on my side and I staggered back.
“Who are they?”
‘I have no idea’
‘Erin, we’re notfully healed, I don’t have myfull strength yet”
“I know”
I felt the fear creeping up and looked around. We were surrounded by wolves.
A loud howl, louder than any I had ever heard, echoed throughout the entire woods and I looked to where it the sound was coming from. In the distance I saw two wolves in the front, running fast with others behind them. The two in the front jumped over me and
the bigger one ran over to the others while the smaller landed on one of the wolves that had surrounded me.
One by one, the wolf sunk her teeth into them and ripped out chunks of their flesh. She moved around in a circle around me and the second someone tried to attack, she ran forward and bit down. She never missed. Her moves were so quick that I missed half of them. When all had been killed off, and the others saw their companions laying dead on the ground, they slowly backed away and took off running but they were hunted down.
I’d be shocked if any of them got out alive. The warriors came with bags and pulled out clothes for everyone. The wolf that had

naked state.
“I’ve already lost you once, I will not loose you again,” she s
said and turned around, walking back to the pack.
“Clean up this mess and discard all bodies,” she ordered to the warriors.
“What would you like us to do with them?”
*Burn them, all except for one, I want his head,” she said and pointing at a man who had shifted back who’s eyes were wide open.
“Do you know who they were?” I asked as we all sat in the private dining hall.
“No, but someone will,” Marie said, drinking from her tea.
“Why did you want that man’s head?” I asked.
“He was the leader, not of the pack probably, but he was in charge of the attack.” “How could you tell?”
“Once he died, the others retreated. You don’t back away u
unless your leader says
so or dies,” she said, smiling.
“You were so strong.” I whispered.
“So are you, you just have to train and your wolf has to rest.” I nodded my head and scoffed.”
“I don’t know about that,” I said.”
“You’re are my daughter, you don’t need to know, I do.”You are my daughter.
Nick and I were heading to our rooms. We stopped outside my door and I opened it up and said goodnight. He cupped my cheek and ran his thumb across my lips and I closed my eyes. The touch of this man was amazing and just as I opened my eyes, I noticed he’d stopped and with furrowed brows, he looked in to my room. He walked past me slowly and I saw what he was looking at
“Nick,” I said and stepped over to him. He stood by the bed and looked at my bag. “You’re leaving,” he said, sounding defeated.
