*Briella*
I felt my body freeze over in horror as I watched several shadows dive toward my defenseless best friend.
Drius didn't look scared at all. He held his ground. Even though he was in his wolf form, I could see the fire burning in his light brown eyes.
“No!" I cried out again, wrenching myself away from Kryzen and sprinting the short distance between Drius and me.
He didn't even see me coming as I tackled him, wrapping my arms around his massive furry neck. I spread my arms out as far as I could, hoping to shield his body with my own.
Drius tensed against me, his eyes wide as he stared at me. He looked ready to push me off of him to defend me, but he must have seen the resignation in my expression because he relaxed and lowered his head to shield me, holding me tightly to him.
