Chapter Thirteen

I ran along the path as quickly as I could. He hadn’t just evaporated into a puff of purple smoke, so I knew he wasn’t using magic to get away, and yet I couldn’t see him in front of me. He was stealthy as was right for a wolf, but it only made me run faster. I could hear the footsteps of the others following me, their heads no doubt coming to the same conclusion I had already arrived at: We were running directly to the Wolvren home.

“Julianna, stop!” I heard Ash shouting behind me but I ignored him. I couldn’t stop. I knew the Alpha wolf was not telling me the truth about Morganna and I knew that this would never be over without her, or at least her sword.

“What are you doing?” He was there, the Alpha. I hadn’t seen him in the dark and had almost tripped over him. “I told you to leave!”

I knew being “sassy” would not help me now. I needed to come up with a different tactic. “Look, I’m grateful that you’ve given us the chance to escape and I don’t want to disrespect your wishes, but I really need to speak to her. I’m not going anywhere until you tell me where she is.”

“You are—”

“I know what you said,” I interrupted him, “but you don’t understand how important it is that I—we—speak with her. Her sword holds the souls of many dragons, possibly hundreds. They are trapped in there and will be until the end of time unless we let them out.”

“This does not concern me. I already told you that I do not like dragons. I only spoke to you before because you are not one, but do not test my patience.”

“It’s not just the dragons. Morganna herself was done a great injustice. My people treated her badly. More specifically my own father. He lied about her, forcing her to leave the town she knew as home.”

“If your people treated her badly, if your own family forced her out, why would she want to speak to you?”

“So you do know her!” I exclaimed. Okay, he’d not said as much, but if he didn’t know her, he wouldn’t be asking questions.

“I’ve already told you. I do not know her.” He sighed. “This is wearing thin. You need to leave.”

“I’m not going until you tell me the truth.”

He bared his teeth again, pulling back his lips. His eyes took on a madness I’d not seen in him before and I knew I’d lost the battle. He stepped toward me, growling. Something grabbed me from behind and I realized it was Ash, pulling me away from the beast.

“Come on. We need to go. We can try again later.”

“I can’t just leave. This is our only chance!” I replied, but I was scared.

The Alpha howled and then gave a warning growl before taking a step toward me.

It was a warning. A warning I wasn’t about to ignore. I grabbed Ash’s hand and began to run through the forest with Spear and the others in front of me.
