In the distance, a ferocious snarl sounds, and my stomach clenches.
"Oh God, they found us.â I push off Dexâs chest. My head pounds as I blink against the late afternoon sun outside the tree. âTheyâre going to rip us to pieces.â
"No, they won't."
His deep voice is reassuring, but I can't help but feel the need to run. "You can't stop them. They'll kill you too."
"I'm not going to leave you."
"I can take care of myself." I stand and brush the mud off my clothes. "I'm a werewolf. I'll be fine."
"Juniper, you're not a werewolf."
His words are a punch to my gut. âI am. I-I just need to find my mom.â
Dex lets out a sigh and stands with me, grabbing my pack. âAt least the rain has stopped. Weâll have to take the long way around to camp and ensure no oneâs following us and hope to meet Aspen and Raven there.â
âAnd if they donât make it?â My chest feels like itâs wrapped in barbed wire.
âLetâs cross that stream when we come to it.â He holds out his hand and I take it, unable to keep the faith he has in Aspen and Raven. If it was just Casey against one of them, I wouldnât worry. But these arenât mindless lost ones theyâre facing, but sadistic killers. Wolves who take pleasure in causing pain in any way they can.
He pulls out a plastic vial with a wax seal over the lid from his backpack.
âWhatâs that?â
âSkunk perfume.â He breaks the seal and the smell of dead skunk wafts through the air, choking me. âGood huh? Paid a fortune for a witch to bottle this for me.â
I hold my nose, trying not to gag. âWhy would you want something like that?â
He cocks his head to the side. âYou grew up sheltered, Juniper. Itâs wolf-eats-wolf out here beyond the pack barriers. Smells donât affect lost ones like others and this wouldnât slow them down. But Iâve been at the end of wolf hunts too much not to have a backup plan. Some, like yours, hunt any rogues like us out here for sport.â
âOkay,â I play along, âbut whatâs to keep them from knowing youâve done this to throw them off the trail?â
He beams up at me and my breath hitches at the way his green eyes lit up. âSmart. Itâs also got a spell tied to it. Anyone wishing me or the others harm will have a sudden urge to run back home before it wears off.â
âHow long will it last?â I wrap my arms around myself because I donât know how magic works. Never thought about it until recently when I found out I was half a witch. Could I do any spells?
Dex dumps the liquid into the tree we rested in before pouring it out behind us.
âHead southeast, Iâll be right behind you. Donât want them to catch onto our scent any time soon.â
He finishes pouring the foul liquid after us and replaces the bottle into his pack.
âYouâre not keeping that are you?â I cough back bile.
