FOX

For a fox (even an Arctic one with pretty cream fur), a Hunt only ended two ways: your blood dying the snow crimson or your fluffy tail waving goodbye, as you ran and hid.

Was Saving Your Ass on the lesson plan? I should drop it into Damelza’s Suggestion Box.

My heart beat wildly, as I lowered my head in my Arctic fox form, slinking through the trees of the Dead Wood. My fur camouflaged me against the snow. My senses were enhanced, and I sniffed, overwhelmed by the scents of the yew trees and the thrumming magic.

Magenta.

Even though I'd had to leave her behind with Sleipnir at the trees' edges, I could sense her with my every breath. She was in the magic of the wood. As my paws pressed against the cold snow, I could even sense her pulsing through the earth like she was kissing me on each step.

I was safe, despite the fact that if I lost this hunt, I'd be killed.

I wasn't alone.

The woman who I loved would always be with me in the academy because she was the academy. I shivered as an icy breeze whooshed down my back.

I didn't expect Magenta to save me. I simply needed her to stay with me. Now I'd save my own furry ass.

Although, when Magenta had seen the white Omega werewolf at Juni’s side, prowling towards Lysander and me with his amber eyes glowing and his teeth bared, she'd rushed forward in protest. Juni's spell had whipped the branches of the trees around her and Sleipnir, trapping them against its trunk.

Why had Magenta paled, as her breath had become ragged? Juni had held me upside down by my ankles in her class. Yet the fact that I was rating Tree Trunk Bondage, showed that my education hadn't turned out how I'd always hoped.

Anyway, the Omega was Midnight’s friend and a prisoner as well. The witches didn’t understand that werewolves didn’t intimidate mages because we were on the same side. Except, when they were set on us during a Hunt, of course.

I sniffed, yawning as I turned in a circle. Didn't they know that I was nocturnal in this form? This was cruel and unusual punishment. I should put in a complaint to the get lost, mage, you're lucky that we didn't throw you to the wolves.

Wait, I had been thrown to the wolves...

Above my head, something golden fluttered. I growled, darting deeper into the shadows.

My only consolation was that Lysander had been thrown to the wolves as well.

I glanced up at Lysander, as he half flew and half leaped from tree to tree. Grudgingly, I admitted that it was a clever tactic. This was a fox and fae hunt. Whoever was caught by the Omega first lost the Hunt.

The stakes were only my life and Midnight's wings. Brilliant.

The skill with which Lysander swung between the branches made me wish that I'd taken my own exercise regime more seriously than shaking my feline ass to funk. Lysander would wreck me in a straight race or fight.
