CHAPTER TWO

Cheryl didn’t see it at first. Synrith and Rafe were hunched close together and appeared to be whispering to one another. For a moment, she took her eyes away. She looked out into the dark recesses of the road, and then in her peripherals, she saw the fire change color. From green it went to yellow to gold. A gust of wind swept through it and Cheryl saw the lid of the wooden box on the ground fly back. The box was empty.

Rafe stepped away from Synrith. In Rafe’s hand he clutched the gold dagger tightly, and blood dripped from the blade’s edge as he walked back to the bike.

Synrith had fallen to his knees.

In panic, Cheryl ran towards him, dodging Rafe’s attempt to block her. She fell to the ground with him as he rolled over, his eyes glazed.

“Cheryl,” Synrith croaked.

“I’m here,” Cheryl said clutching his hand.

“Find the cure,” he managed. “Find it and you will bring me –”

Synrith’s hand leapt with a wave of scorching heat, causing Cheryl to cry out and drop it.

Before she could reach for him again, his entire body burst into flames.

“No!” Cheryl shrieked. “No, no, no –”

“That’s enough,” Rafe said pulling her back. “It’s done.”

“You bastard!” Cheryl wailed and scratched at Rafe’s face. He went to hold her in place, but Cheryl’s feet pounded into his legs with tremendous force.

Rafe cried out in agony as his knees buckled and Cheryl stooped over him, her fangs protruding. She grabbed for his neck as he did his best to wrestle with her.

The ring of fire was dying down.

Soon the rest of the pack had the pair surrounded, and Rafe was lucky they came when they did.

It didn’t take one wolf to keep Cheryl from tearing his throat out. It didn’t take two, or three, or four.

The hands of seven wolves were on Cheryl when they managed to rip her from Rafe’s chest.

Her skin was the color of snow, and her eyes the color of blood.

If she had seen a reflection of herself then, she would have screamed.
