Chapter Ten

“I HATE THE WOODS,” NATASHA complained. “It’s no place for a werewolf.”

Korver hardly paid any attention to her whining. They had been trekking through the dense foliage and heavy undergrowth for hours while following the trail left behind by Hugo.

Every quarter mile or so, they would find another tree etched with an X. Hugo was sure to be hot on the trail of their quarry. The cunning of Tobias could only help him so much. In time, he and the half-breed would be found.

It was inevitable.

The rain was unrelenting. Even though the tall evergreen trees all around them soaked up a lot of the falling droplets and redirected them to the ground below after traveling down their long needles, it did little to keep the precipitation off of Korver and the rest of the pack.

Not that he cared. Rain, wind, hail, or even snow—nothing would keep him from his prize.

Catching a whiff of a familiar scent, he raised his fist to signal the rest of the pack to stop. He then looked over his shoulder at Natasha and the four others in his small, but loyal band of werewolves.

The pack used to be much larger when Demi’s father was leading, but those days were gone. That pack splintered into numerous smaller groups the moment that the old wolf decided to vanish without a trace.

“What is it?” Natasha asked. “Why are we stopping?”

He ignored her. Breathing in deeply to allow the scent to fill his nostrils. It was blood, and not just any blood. But the blood of a bear.

“Follow me.” He told the others before he took off running through the trees again.

The rest of the pack close on his heels, Korver rushed out of the trees and emerged into a clearing where he found the corpse of a large black bear lying on its side with its back to him and the others.

A moment later, a large gray wolf appeared from behind the bear its muzzle bloody and a chunk of flesh hanging from its jaws.

Korver crossed his arms. “Is this really the best time for a meal?”

The gray wolf gulped down the flesh before shifting back to the large brute of a man that had served Korver loyally for more than a decade. Bare-chested and bloody, Hugo wiped the evidence of his meal from his lips with the back of his hand and then grinned.

“I’m sorry. Did you want some too? There’s enough here for the whole pack.”

Korver smirked and took a couple of steps closer to the much taller man. Hugo’s jovial demeanor and his remarks earned him a backhand to the face, busting his lip.

“I’m happy that you think you have the time to terrorize the local wildlife just to feed yourself,” Korver said. “But I hope you remember why you’re here. For your sake.”

Hugo spit blood on the ground. “I do remember.”

“Good. Now you want to tell me what the hell you think you’re doing?”

“The claws.”

“What?”

“The bear’s claws. Smell them.”

Korver eyed the large man
