I stare at her numbly, then lurch forward. Bullets rip up the ground close by my feet, but I don’t

flinch. My eyes are filling with tears. I don’t want to escape if the cost is losing Shark and his team,

but Meera’s right. We have no choice. The Kah-Gash mustn’t fall into the Shadow’s hands.

I’m about halfway to the Farrier Harrier when a klaxon blares, overriding the noise of the

helicopter and guns. I shouldn’t stop, but I can’t help myself. Pausing, I glance back and see Juni’s

men retreating into the building. At least a dozen have been killed or are lying wounded. But

everyone else is ducking out of sight.

Shark was crouched low, but now he stands and stares after the departing troops. He’s as

confused as I am. Then, as the squeal of the klaxon dies away, we hear something else. A grinding

noise coming from the outer wall of the compound.

We whirl as one, just in time to see the wall split in several places. We should have seen this

coming. Timas told us, when he was explaining about the grooves in the ground. Everything here is

built out of metal panels which can be swiftly slid together—or just as easily slid apart. As we watch

with a sickening sense of helplessness, panels roll back, leaving gaping holes in the wall. Seconds

later I spot the first werewolf sniffing at the gap. Then it catches our scent and bounds ahead,

followed by dozens more. They converge on us like giant locusts, screeching, howling, free at last to

attack and kill.
