Cole had emerged from the shop with armfuls of bags. I offered to carry some, but he just gave me his usual scowl and carried them himself.

He’d parked in a quiet space near a small park. There was barely anyone wandering down the street. It was so peaceful.

“I need to run an errand. Stay here. I won’t be long.”

I settled myself down on the bench beneath the mature tree and tried to quell the frustration and urge to snap at him. There was no need to be such a pushy jerk all the time. I wasn’t some errant puppy that was going to run into traffic at the first possible opportunity.

Pulling out my phone, I dug out a game and lost myself in the familiar motions of trying to run around the obstacles and catch the glowy ball. I was on the ninth life when I heard something weird. Or maybe I felt something. I wasn’t quite sure what had happened, but it had my wolf side surging forward teeth bared and hackles raised. Looking around, I tried to figure out what the problem was.

A knife sliced through my upper arm and buried itself in the wood of the bench next to me. Another knife flew through the air and caught my ear. I was up on my feet and had my own far larger knife in my hand when the third knife whizzed by me. The urge to catch it out of the air was strong, but I knew that would end badly. I wasn’t quite that much of a badass. Yet.

Two garou casually walked over to me with their eyes yellowed and aggression rolling off them. They had their shoulders back and the tips of their canines peeking over their bottom lips. I immediately began checking their balance, movement, and so on for weaknesses.

“Turned shouldn’t exist,” the slightly taller of the pair with a blond buzzcut snarled.

I rolled my eyes.

“That’s all you’ve got?”

He bared his teeth at me. He looked ridiculous in his human form with his slightly sharper teeth bared. Given the increased fury on his face, I’m guessing my face gave away my thoughts on that. People have always said I have a very expressive face.

“We’re going to remove you from this earth,” the slighter shorter one with a beaten-up leather jacket growled.

I laughed. They sounded so cheesy, and the teeth baring just looked ridiculous. That was enough to send them over the edge.

They fought like a well-oiled machine. Blondie went for my legs, a classic wolf move. He ducked down into a low sweeping kick designed to take my legs out from under me. His packmate tried to block my ability to side-step. I couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like to have a packmate to fight at my side like that. Jake and I knew each other and sparred frequently, but a pack seemed different.

The garou were fierce and aggressive in their moves. They kept me on my toes, and I found that I had to actually try.
