I pulled the trigger and missed. s**t, my hands are shaking. I fired again and missed a second time.
"No!" I hissed, but it was too late. The feral had already pinned me to the ground, and my gun skidded to the other side. His canines were inches away from me, his feral eyes locked on mine. I squeezed my eyes shut and braced for the bite, but the sharp sink of teeth never came.

The feral was still above me, but something was fighting it. I watched, frozen, as the black wolf moved with brutal precision. In seconds, it was over. I looked closer. The feral's throat was ripped open, and then those molten amber eyes found mine, a blood-coated muzzle still dripping.
