I sprinted through the corridors, my boots pounding against stone, not caring about the startled looks from wolves I passed. I could hear Cain behind me, his heavier footsteps echoing, but I was faster. Fueled by panic, and something feral something … I couldn't name. More like something I wouldn’t name.
I burst through the arena doors, already shifting mid-stride. My bones cracked and reformed, my human shape melting into my wolf in a heartbeat. My black fur bristled as I hit the arena floor on four paws and launched myself forward.
Keanu's dragon was preparing another blast of fire, golden light building in his throat, aimed at where Darien was struggling to stand.
I darted in front of Darien's lycan, planting myself between them, and felt Andromeda rise.
She came roaring to the surf
