Fight!” Crane said, stepping back quickly. Alpha Perry lunges at me and I duck to the side. Let him get some of his energy out. It will give me a chance to study his foot work.

He staggered, and I drove my silver blade deep into his thigh, severing the muscle. He collapsed, wincing in agony. The battlefield was chaotic.

Rod was all fangs and power. Cynthia’s strength was unmatched—she tore through their ranks, leaving behind a trail of injured warriors. Vivi’s whip was deadly, wrapping around weapons, limbs, throats—anything that left an opening for us to exploit.

My body moved through the air as I released my claws to confront his aggressive strike directly. The ground met us with force as we rolled across the floor, locked in a savage fight. He slashed at me with his claws, drawing blood across my side, but I used his momentum to twist underneath him. I drove my claws deep into his throat before tearing.
