A loud and deep barking sound brought me out of my thoughts. When I turned, I saw a huge black dog running towards us with its tongue out. Its bushy tail wagged back and forth rapidly as it greeted Matt. Matt smiled at the dog and wrapped his arms around his large neck. The dog was bigger than he was! “Shadow, what are you doing out here, boy? I thought you were inside,” Matt said as the dog licked his face, making him chuckle. I smiled and bent down to the ground so I could be at eye level with the dog. He hadn’t noticed me yet, but as soon as I moved, he whipped around to face me, his eyes turning to slits. “Shadow doesn’t like anyone else, other than Master Matthew,” Adam warmed. “He bit the last tutor, and she had to go to the pack clinic for stitches.” I raised my brows. “
