I locked eyes with the rogue leader.

He was standing apart from the rest, and his glowing yellow eyes were fixed unwaveringly on me. I knew instantly from the way he looked at me, and the way that my wolf reacted strongly inside of me, that this was his plan all along. He thought that he could kill me while the rest of the rogues ambushed everyone else, but there was a crucial detail that he didn’t know.

He didn’t know that I had come prepared with my own plan, too.

Luke furrowed his brow and shook his head. He tried to grab me again, but I pulled away and continued to stare at him sternly.

“Go, Luke. I promise I’ll meet up with you soon.”
