ARIA
The wolf took over before I could stop her. She knew how to run. How to dodge. How to disappear. Those things were never my strength. I was good at making mistakes. That much was clear.
Everything I believed had been wrong. Alaric Stonefang was no different from my father. At least I learned that before it went any further.
Trusting him had been a mistake. Worse than that was believing the next man who treated me kindly would fix things. That a lover would save me. That idea had almost ruined me.
My wolf was small but fast. A sharp little body cutting through the Blackwood Wilds. She moved like a weapon.
It wasn’t until she slid under a thick bush that something felt off. Her fear wasn’t aimed at Kael Nightborne.
Wolves.
The scents were old. A few days, maybe a week. Too many
