The rogue wolves howled, and Scarlett felt a shiver of fear. Her heart hammered, and her breath hitched as claws scraped stone and paws hit the dirt. Their safe place was now a war zone.
Caden squeezed her hand, his face serious as his wolf senses kicked in. They're back, Scarlett, he said, his voice quiet but firm. "We need to be ready."
Scarlett nodded, fear weighing her down. These rogue wolves had left before, but they hadn't given up. Victor was probably with them, and just thinking about his darkness made her skin crawl. This wasn't over; it was just starting.
A powerful, wild energy bubbled up inside her, hard to ignore. As it churned, threatening to spill out, Scarlett took a deep breath, trying to rein it in. She couldn't lose control again.
They'll target you first, Caden sai
