The Witch And The Alpha
POV: Vaelor
The sound of the chains rattling in the dark was unmistakable, and I knew before I even saw the first flash of armor that Draeven hadn't just sent the hounds, he had sent the Unspoken. These were the elite hunters of our pack, men who had given up their voices and half their humanity to become specialists in bringing down rogue wolves, and they carried silver-weighted nets and crossbows designed to pierce even the thickest hide. I grabbed Ilyra by the arm and hauled her out of the Hollow, ignoring the way my leg screamed in protest, because we couldn't stay in a hole and wait to be netted like fish in a barrel.
