Masuk“Where?” Alaric asks.“Right. Up the rocks.”Leo looks towards the slope. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”“They’ve been using the trees to stay above us. Take those away, and they’ll have nowhere to hide.”“And if they decide to come out of hiding?”“At least we can see what to fight.”Alaric
** Bastian’s POV **She belonged to us first. The words are still ringing in my ears. I don’t know who said them, or how they managed to get close enough to whisper them into my ear without me seeing anything. But the moment they did, something slammed into my side with enough force to knock me off
** Leo’s POV **“Move!”I don’t wait to see who or what is laughing. I tighten my grip under Sawyer’s arms, whilst Bastian still has his legs, and together, we cut across the water and scramble towards the slope.Alaric shifts into his wolf so fast I miss it. He positions himself at our backs. Snarl
