The Rejected Mate
At first, I thought it was a deer or some other woodland animal, but then I saw the glint of yellow eyes.
I tensed, and Lucas noticed my reaction. "What is it?" he asked, following my gaze.
I pointed towards the trees, and we all watched as a large wolf stepped out from the underbrush. It was black as night, with piercing yellow eyes that seemed to glow in the sunlight.
As soon as it saw us, it froze, staring at us intently.
"Is that a werewolf?" I whispered, feeling a shiver run down my spine.
Lucas nodded, his eyes never leaving the wolf. "It looks like it," he said quietly.
