Chapter 6

Enzo

Low growls ricochet around me. It takes me several seconds to realize it’s my brother making the sounds. He’s on top of the car, and pools of blood spill from his injuries.

I open my mouth to call out his name, but I’ve also shifted into my wolf body in the wake of the trauma, and a howl of pain emanates from my lips when I try to speak.

“Don’t!” a weak voice rasps. “Don’t move. Neither of you.”

Blinking through the haze of agony, I see Violet crawling through the wreckage, attempting to help. I moan again when I see her beautiful face, bloodied and scratched from the accident. I’m overcome with protectiveness.

“Alphas?” the driver yells out for us from somewhere outside the mangled SUV.

My mind whirls. How did he manage to get out?

Between Violet’s battered body and the driver’s voice, I find my motivation to move.

We have to get out of here, Steele. This car could blow at any minute, I speak to my brother through our telepathic connection.

“Alphas!” the driver hollers again. “Are you in there?”

“Help us!” Violet calls back, her words slightly stronger than before. “We’re trapped.”

I push the glass and rebar off me, kicking the mangled door open with my hind legs. Pain shoots up my spine, but I ignore it, feeling the creak with the effort.

Do you hear me, Steele?

I hear you, my brother responds. I’m coming.

Relief overcomes me, and together, we work to escape, my teeth catching on the edge of Violet’s jeans. She yelps at the suddenness of the motion, but she doesn’t fight as I pull her to safety, my second kick creating a space for us to exit the vehicle, my brother on our trail.

We collapse on the desert floor and morph back into our human forms, panting and sweating, blood seeping into the beige sand beneath us.

“Alphas!” The driver rushes toward us. “Thank all the gods!”

“What the hell happened?” I snap, pulling Violet a safe distance from the smoldering car. Breathing heavily, Steele sidles along the other side of Violet, embracing her trembling body.

“I… I don’t know!” the driver cries, wringing his hands as we stare up at him skeptically.

Something about his demeanor sits oddly with me. He’s avoiding eye contact, staring at his hands. On closer inspection, he doesn’t have a scratch on him. He keeps a safe distance, and I smell the deceit all over him.

Suddenly, I’m on my feet, advancing, my teeth baring. “What happened?”

He backs away, his hands held up, and trips over a rock, falling to the ground.

“Something came onto the road,” he yips. “A turtle⁠—”

“A fucking turtle?” Steele is at my side now, and we surround him. “You almost killed us over a turtle?”

“He’s a warlock,” Violet wheezes from behind us.

My head whips back toward her, my eyes narrowing. “Come again?”

She stands shakily and approaches, her steps uneven.

“He’s a warlock, and I can smell the dark magic on him.” At first, the driver shakes his head in denial, but Violet meets his eyes defiantly. “You are.
