Rachel dug her wolf paws into the snow She shuddered from the cold, but wars Running Fear h her Despite the dark night, her eyes focused, seeing everything with clarity as if she used a powerful flashlight Her hearing picked up every sound, including the inco hearts She sniffed, driven by a deep need to sense her surroundings The scent of other aniuano on a branch, and the scent of greenery despite the winter landscape overwhel deaf all her life and suddenly hearing for the first time

No time to process

Confused, only the threat of death pushed her forward, giving in to the wild beast she was now She wasn’t sure where she was going, only that the farther away the better The distant angry barks and snarls followed by eerie howls ht, while her heart yelped at her to run Don’t stop Capture is death

Above her, the lowed red The lunar eclipse had coe as three olves drew closer Each wolf smelled as distinct as a different type of cooked meal If she could outrun theht be kept alive until the next one Giving her tiure out how to escape That is if they didn’t tear her to pieces for screwing up their plans Technically was she still a Stallo woman or a lycan? Unintentionally turned by the bite of a man she loved Damn Lev There had to be a cure for lycanthropy

Rachel’s wolf body grew exhausted As she reached the top of ridge, the sound of a helicopter meant they decided to look for her by air She stopped to catch her breath and cocked her head to listen for the olves hunting her Howls echoed froround Her stalkers stopped and headed back She flared her nostrils Their scent, similar to what she deemed lycan perfuh she’d been a olf for a short a of the howl Return Danger Pack in territory War Was it Team Greywolf?

“I’o”

“And you er and erous demanded release He scanned the tea gahter whatever beast Lev turned into

Rylee ordered “Stand down, Lev son of Arkady”

Evoking his father’s na everyone onboard would bring dishonor to his pack’s name and serve no purpose Odd The wolf, the beast that dominated his other internal beasts had not sensed Rachel’s death Perhaps, they had spared her or she’d escaped? Yet, would he sense the death of a human mate?

“Land here,” said Rylee
