The Old One struck like a falling star.
Its massive wings snapped forward, blasting a storm of wind and snow across the ruined village as it dove straight toward Ivy.
Rowan shifted instantly.
His black wolf launched forward with a roar, intercepting the creature midair.
The impact shook the ground.
Claws met scales with a deafening c***k.
The army surged forward behind him, but Ivy raised her hand sharply.
“Hold the line!”
The warriors stopped.
Even the Alphas hesitated.
Because the Supreme Luna had not shifted.
She stood alone.
Facing the creature that dwarfed every wolf on the battlefield.
The Old One slammed Rowan aside with a sweep of its wing.
His massive body skidded across the snow before he rose again, growling fiercely.
Ivy stepped forward.
Her silver eyes burned.
