Everyone got alert at the very sound of this.

Niall lowered his upper body in a pouncing stance, while Valero mimicked his movement as he turned to the opposite direction.

If Clarissa was correct about the number, this battle was four against fifteen. But the advantage is that we are all high ranking wolves against mere rogues. Special rogues or not, they didn't stand a chance.

The shredding of clothes alerted me that Clarissa shifted too, but I stayed in human form, simply because I never got to learn to fight in wolf form, and I was better with my weapons. I whipped my silver bullet gun from my belt, already aiming it at the trees as we circled slowly.

~Stay behind me"~ Niall instructed sharply in my head. I didn't appreciate his tone, but I knew it was his sole protective nature.

I wasted no time in firing at them immediately, taking down three of them in the split of a second. I contained a smirk, knowing this couldn't be too hard. The others were already knocking over the shifted wolves, biting into their neck with no hesitation as their body went limp.

I drove my elbow backwards as I heard a rogue approaching me, hitting him square it the face as he plummeted to the ground.
