tried to stopfrom leaving. But why would he? Hadn't | learned my lesson by now?
A car horn blasted, snappingback to reality - I'd wandered into the middle of the street. With nowhere to go,

getting darker as | entered the woods, so | kept moving without stopping to rest. Though I had no idea where I'd
end up, | pushed forward until my legs started giving out.
Suddenly, a thorn stabbed into my foot. “Ow!” | crumpled to the ground. As | pulled out the thorn, everything I'd

my white dress.
Then | spotted it - another pack’s territory marker ahead. In that moment, it wasn’t just a boundary line, it was
salvation. | sprinted with everything I had, their footsteps getting closer.
A quick look back showed three of the five men had shifted into wolves. The two still in human form

I'm Magnus Hawthorne, the future alpha... and I'm your brother.” His words hitlike a truck!
