Wind and trees whipped past them as Geralt’s paws pounded into the earth, jostling Greta. She tightened her grip in his fur. Her heart galloped miles ahead of her body. Fear and apprehension tightened her limbs. She told herself the wind stinging her eyes caused them to tear up. She thought she’d found a sanctuary, but too soon it was being ripped from her.

Powerful muscles contracted and released beneath her. Her world tilted on its axis for the second time in her life. She closed her eyes, nausea swimming in her gut. Her mother’s phantom screams haunted her ears. She forced her eyes back open in a panic, needing the blurring scenery as a reminder of the present.

Greta. She shuddered, blinking away tears and shoving aside the voice in her head. The Lycan had some explaining to do. But, first, they needed to survive the hunters stalking them.

Her Lycan slowed down, ears twitching in every direction. She had the absurd urge to flick them, to test their responsiveness. She pushed it aside and tried calming her breathing, heart still pounding in her chest. A low growl rumbled from the beast between her legs. She tensed, glancing around for the threat. The morning light reflected off a blur to her right, barely disturbing the ground.

She panted and tightened her grip on the vials in her hand. Fear and adrenaline raced through her veins. Silence and death stalked the woods. The hairs on her skin raised, an internal warning, not that she needed it. She shifted forward, a scream trapped in her throat. Geralt’s body moved in waves beneath her, bones snapping, disturbing the deathly silent woods.

Instinctively, she rolled to her right, landing near the Lycan changing before her eyes. Four legs gave way to two, muscles expanded and fingers lengthened into talons. Dread stole her breath. She’d heard rumors of some Lycans being able to shift into a third form, one capable of unspeakable damage, a conglomeration of man and beast. Geralt towered over her, breathing heavily. He’d grown at least two feet taller and he was a head taller than her before his transformation.

His lupine eyes scanned the area they’d paused in, nose sniffing the air. A wolf’s muzzle opened, letting out a voice that was a cross between man and animal. It held an echo, sending shivers down her spine.

“You want her, come get her. But, you’ll die before you touch her.” Geralt’s gaze locked on something behind her. She crawled closer to him and he lowered into a protective crouch. Her eyes scanned the trees before landing on glowing red eyes, a brown coat almost blending with the bark of the trees it stood between. She eyed the distance between them.

Biting her lip and mentally saying “fuck it,” she jerked forward and threw one potion near the brown Lycan. Upon shattering, decay spread where the liquid landed. A pained howl tore from the beast and he raced toward them, murder hardening the eyes locked on her. Geralt roared, running forward to intercept their attacker.
