CHAPTER FIVE

“Take the hint…” She bit out, “Praefringo.” The crack of the branch as it was ripped from the tree to the side of him caught his attention. The beasts head snapped around on his neck just in time to see the large limb coming towards him. The bough landed just in front of him, a warning, not a blow.

“You may have dealt with Fae before wolf, but I can assure you, you’ve never come up against someone like me.” She informed him. There was no gloating, she didn’t feel the need to. Her powers spoke for themselves, she could crush him with one word, and his wolf was getting that message, even if he wasn’t.

“Mike!” Doug’s deep tones shattered the silence between them as they stood facing each other, the large branch the only visible obstacle between them.

Darby didn’t take her eyes from the young wolf, she sensed his desire to attack, sensed his willingness to test her resolve and her power, and yet the appearance of the Beta gave him pause.

“What the hell are you doing?” Doug stalked towards them. His eyes were intent on the baying wolf. When the beast turned his gaze onto his friend, there was no softening of his stance, of his desires to rip Darby apart, possibly even to rip Doug apart if he got in the way.

“Careful, Doug…” Darby could sense the indecision within the wolf, calculating the odds of an attack against his pack member. Doug eyed the young wolf, taking in Darby’s words, he noted the way the wolf eyed him back. The feral power of the young Alpha as he took one simple step towards Doug, and Darby reached out with her magic, pulling on as much of her power as she could afford to spare, should the wolf attack again, she would need a reserve.

“Mike, what are…?” Doug’s words died on his lips as the wolf attacked. Pushing off the ground on powerful back legs, the beast cut through the air towards Doug, just as the Beta shifted into his wolf, readying himself for the attack.

“Inpello.” Darby felt the beast hit the invisible wall in front of Doug’s wolf. The force of her energy hitting him sent the wolf spinning backwards through the air. The yelp that cut the night air sent a chill through her body, as she watched the wolf land against the broken branch. The sickening sound of bone on wood sent another shiver through her, as she watched the beast roll across the top of the large branch and land on the other side.

Vaguely aware of Doug’s wolf still behind her shield, she concentrated her attention on the young wolf as he rose slowly to his paws; shaking off the impact of the blow on his body, he turned his attention back towards her. His eyes fixed on hers, the blackness tinged with red as his beast took possession of him completely.

“Rogue.” Darby spat out in disgust just a second before the animal turned on fast paws and speed away from the clearing.
