Chapter Fifteen

Skylar

Fog rolled in around my ankles and I jumped back, worried it would be something toxic. As it curled around my legs, I tried to remain calm. So far, it wasn’t making me feel any different and I could still breathe. As the fog rose, the trio in front of us separated, as if preparing to attack. David moved in front of me.

I shifted my position so I could be closer to the shifter twins. I figured Elias was the best suited to take on his brother. The fog continued, making it difficult to see. I reached for my knife. This was what they wanted. They were trying to confuse us, make it more difficult for us to fight. I wasn’t going to allow it.

Shifters had better vision than mortals, but even we couldn’t see through fog. I could however sense their movements, I could feel their elevated emotions, their desire for blood. It sent my heart pounding and I was sure they could hear it.

A snarl nearby and a whoosh of air told me the battle was on. I allowed my senses to fully open, something I rarely did, and I could almost feel the positions of the others in the bar.

Gripping my knife, I moved forward cautiously. I couldn’t risk striking Xander with this and while I wasn’t sure what Elias was, a knife in his side certainly wouldn’t feel great.

Someone growled and turned toward the sound. I could just barely make out the shape of one of the twins in his wolf form. “You want more of my blade?”

He charged and I could make out the massive paws reaching for me. I dodged and swiped with my knife, but missed the creature. He adjusted and moved forward, prowling slowly this time. I wasn’t going to wait for him to cage me in.

Light on my toes, I feigned attack to the right then quickly changed direction. I managed to reach the wolf, my knife poised above his shoulder blade. Just before I could get the blade in, something huge slammed into me and knocked me down.

The second wolf was on top of me, pinning me in place with his huge paws. The weight of him on my chest made me cry out against the heavy pressure. I could almost feel my ribs giving way and I worried they’d crack. I struggled to breathe but I still had my weapon.

Without hesitation, I slammed the blade into the creature’s neck. He howled then snapped his jaw at me before using his paw to swipe at my face.

My cheeks burned from the fresh claw marks, my eyes watering as I winced against the pain.

I struggled under his paws, trying to free myself, trying to grab for my knife, but he held me fast.

It was as if the silver of my blade had no impact on him. I lifted my legs, using them to push against his soft belly. He didn’t budge.

What the fuck?

When we’d fought earlier, he’d gone down so easily.
