CHAPTER TWELVE

DYSON COLEMAN

GUARDIAN REALM

Flint’s laugh quickly fades when silence washes over the village. His jokes about the sex going on in the other teepee had grown tiresome, and even Bre, who usually laughs at whatever pops from his mouth, quickly became annoyed.

The teepee we’re in is large enough so that we can each stretch over the fur and peacefully sleep without touching the other. We hadn’t been able to sleep though, too busy catching up on everything I’ve missed.

Shaking off the immediate, unnerving silence, I open my mouth to reminisce another memory when a wave of unease pricks at my wolf.

Danger, my wolf’s growl warns.

A scream vibrates the teepee walls.

A boom shakes the ground.

Hoofbeats run past, hurried, a foreboding thunder which echoes the frantic patter of my pulse.

Evo quickly stands, his gaze moving to the teepee door, then slowly, he swivels back to me. My mouth dries when his eyes harden. As Alpha, he’s seen many a battle, and his instincts when they arise are never wrong. He’s preparing for a fight we have yet to understand.

Again, I open my mouth, prepared to say it’s probably the elves and their weird traditional behaviors, when more hollers and blood-curdling screams thieve the sentence from my lips.

We jump to our feet, our bodies vibrating with the shift to wolf, and our eyes glow brighter than the small fire crackling in the middle. The walls brighten under the green and banish the remaining shadows. The snowflakes which fall from the opening at the top look like sparkles among the coloring shades, more illuminated than before.

The tent door pushes open, and Bre visibly jumps, emitting her own scream. Her hand flies to her mouth to hush the sound when she realizes it’s only Eliza and Aiden.

Aiden yanks a shirt over his face, ruffling his already tousled hair, and covers an impressive set of abs while Eliza’s bright blue eyes shift electric bolts inside them.

“What the hell is going on?” I bark.

“The village is under attack,” Eliza yells over the ever-growing noise. I can barely hear myself think.

“Under attack?” Kenna asks in utter disbelief. “But this is the Guardian Realm! Who in their right mind would attack a realm full of warriors?”

Aiden’s eyes change to an impossibility, lava dribbling down the orbs inside until it covers them entirely. Sulfur emits from him during the sudden change and stings my nose.

Kenna recoils with a “Sweet baby Jesus,” whispering across her lips. “It’s the devil in disguise.”

“The angels are rebelling,” Aiden answers, his voice deep and almost unintelligible while completely ignoring Kenna’s prejudices.

She’s right, though. It does look like a devil has a leash on Aiden’s soul, and maybe it does. And maybe it’s a good thing, at least in this moment. If the village is under attack, a little evil is needed.

“The fee have made their first move,” I say, and Aiden nods tersely.

I slip off my clothes in a hurry, fumbling with my arms inside the holes. Eliza shifts her gaze from us to the wall, ever the modest lady.
