Luna Eclipse
The gray wolf, the leader, circles around behind me while the others keep me distracted.
I realize too late what it's doing.
It lunges for my neck.
I try to dodge, but I'm too slow. Too tired.
Its jaws are inches from my throat when suddenly it's knocked aside by a blur of dark fur.
Ryder.
He's shifted into his wolf form, massive and powerful. He tears into the gray wolf with a fury I've never seen from him.
The other rogues hesitate, confused by this new threat.
That hesitation is all I need.
