Alma between two worlds
Her heartbeat quickened, a mixture of fear and dull revolt rumbling in her veins.
Why? Why did this fire, these smiles, this tranquility attract him more than the call of the hunt?
She saw a little girl, curled up against her mother, her arms around an old rag that looked like a doll. Her thin voice broke the night silence, asking her father a question, who answered with a tender laugh.
Alma felt her breath catch. She couldn't let this happen.
Without thinking, her legs moved of their own accord. Far from joining her pack in the shadows, she stepped forward, her pale eyes fixed on the humans. A wild, irrepressible urge to help them escape seized her.
