Chapter 9

Night had fallen, and Aiyre was starting to doubt her sanity. Even her pronghorn form was wishing for the warmth of the cave, but she had to press on. She wasn’t about to go back without any help, and there had to be someone out there, someone who wouldn’t be a sabertooth shifter.

She could only imagine being mated to such a beast. Those razor-sharp claws and teeth as long as her hand. It would be insane for either of them to think they had a future together. He was a born predator, and she was prey.

She quivered at the very thought of his sabertooth form.

Aiyre hoped Ezi would make it. She was the last clanmate Aiyre had left, and this life was too harsh to go it alone.

A crunching of the snow had her ears perking up. They moved on top of her head, facing forwards, to the side, and then behind her, pinpointing where the noise was coming from. She slowly approached, her long slender legs easily picking their way through the snow.

Millions of flakes flew around her in the dark, but she was able to pick up the scent. It was just of a herd of horses. She relaxed a bit and easily made her way through the herd of horses without causing any alarm.

She was just another prey animal in her pronghorn form. There was no reason for them to care about her presence, and their presence gave her some more confidence.

It was rare for her to go off on her own. She’d always had clanmates to accompany her, so the company of the horses was welcomed.

She left the herd of horses behind, but then a neigh of alarm went up through the horse herd. Aiyre’s ears perked back up as fear spread through her. What had the horse herd seen or smelled?

Giving the air around her a quick sniff she tried to pinpoint what it was but came up empty.

The herd bolted, kicking up massive amounts of snow as they fled the scene. All of them were in a panic. Her heart sped up.

Aiyre kicked herself into gear, splitting off from the group, hoping to disappear into the night.

She wasn’t going to be that lucky. Her ears picked up something large following right after her. The moment she heard the growl behind her, her blood froze, but she kept moving. Something was coming after her. Her muscles started to burn with her exertions. She could feel her strength waning, so she turned to face her opponent.

A sabertooth cat’s shadow could be seen sprinting towards her through the falling snow.

Aiyre readied herself for what might come next.

The sabertooth stopped. Was it a shifter? She still couldn’t see it very well through the shifting snow. She sniffed the cold air, but only came up with the overwhelming scent of horses.

When the sabertooth approached her again, she leveled her head at it, brandishing her horns. They weren’t much, but she hoped it would be enough to defend herself.

The sabertooth gave a huff of frustration and began to circle her.
