The Lycan's Mate.
She recognized the magnificent predator immediately, it was a Sabretooth, one of the worst enemies of werewolves.
The Sabretooth just stared at her with its wild, glaring red eyes, then turned and dashed into the forest. Riley swam to the other side and just collapsed on the river bank, that was close as fuck!
She had almost died, if the beast had caught up to her, surely she would have been disemboweled. After a while, she got to her feet and kept walking, it wasn't safe. Even though her body felt weak, she had to keep going. The night air was cool against her face and the road ahead of her was barren.
