Chapter 9

Nosh staggered to his feet just in time to spot Mazus crashing through the trees on the other side of the stream. He started after him but two steps later, he stopped. A sharp pain in his side brought him to his knees.

Footsteps pounded through the dirt.

Lucian raced up to him. “What happened? What’s going on?”

“Mazus attacked us.”

“What?”

“He went that way.” He pointed.

Lucian yelled. “Fadian, Edon, Mazus attacked Nosh and Gwen. Get him and bring him back to the den.”

Fadian and Edon shifted into their wolf forms and bounded into the woods. Lucian turned to Nosh. “Tell me what happened.”

“I don’t know. I heard Gwen screaming and I found Mazus on top of her.”

“Shit. Did he…”

“I don’t think so. Where’s Gwen?”

“In the woods.”

“I need to go to her.” Nosh fought the nausea roiling in his belly. Whatever discomfort he was feeling would have to wait. He had to make sure Gwen was okay.

He called out to her. “Gwen, where are you?”

When she didn’t answer, the hairs on the back on his neck stood on end. What if Mazus had circled back to kill her?

Nosh dashed through the woods screaming her name. As he rounded a thicket of blackberries, he spotted her sitting at the base of a tree. She looked up with a glassy gaze, as if she was looking through him, not at him.

“It’s me. It’s me,” he whispered over and over.

As he reached for her, she cowered. Her eyes went wide and she pummeled him with her small fists.

Nosh held her thrashing body at arm’s length. “Honey, stop.”

She blinked rapidly before dropping her arms to her side. She collapsed against him. “Oh, God.”

He pulled her close and held her while she sobbed. “Shh…”

“He was going to kill me.”

“I know, sweetie. I got you. You’re safe now.”

She pulled away. “Where is he? He’s coming. He’ll find me.”

“No. Lucian sent the hunting party after Mazus. He won’t get far. We’ll catch him.”

“Then what? Are you going to kill him?”

“No. But we’ll find a way to punish him.”

She looked at him with wild eyes. “He almost… he was going to…”

Nosh’s heart lurched. To think that she’d almost suffered another attack. How did he miss the signs? How did he not see that Mazus was dangerous? What kind of alpha was he if he couldn’t protect her from someone who was right under his nose?

A cold wind blew in from the north. Tree branches swayed and rattled a warning. Black clouds loomed overhead. The sky opened to unleash a deluge. Lightening flashed and thunder cracked as if hell-bent on ripping the air apart.

“We need to get back to the den,” he said.

“I won’t be safe there. I’ll never be safe again.”

He coaxed her to stand. “Come on, sweetie. We need to get out of the storm.”

“It’s not safe,” she whispered.

The glazed look in her eye wasn’t normal. She wasn’t doing well. He bent to try to scoop her up into his arms, but the pain in his ribs made it impossible.

“You have to walk.
