Chapter 10
A burst of light shot up from the ground as the orb exploded, sending a beam of light into the sky.
The shifters responded with a chorus of howls and panther screams, an eerie music that sent shivers up my spine. All around me bones broke and cries of pain tore out, transforming into animal roars as everyone took their animal form.
Magic hummed in the air, ripe with the moonlight the exuded down into the clearing.
The ones who had already shifted were in a frenzy and for about two seconds, I felt frozen, because it looked like they were all headed straight for me.
But then I saw the small thing skittering along the ground that had escaped the beam of light.
The shifters werenât coming for me. They were after the little floppy-eared creature that looked remarkably like a bunny, its dark eyes wheeling around in its head as it ran for its life.
Except, it had a horn.
One of the panthers leaped at it from the side and it veered, changing direction nimbly and going straight for the woods.
âWhat was that?â I whispered.
âDo you want to catch it or talk?â Logan asked, amused.
âBite me,â I said, then realized I was talking to a wolf and that was a very real invitation. âYou realize this is an unfair challenge, right? I canât run anywhere near to as fast as a shifterâcouldnât even before somebody strapped ginormous weights to my back.â
He held up his hands. âHey, Iâm the teacher. Iâm here to instruct and Iâm not helping you if I tell you how to do it.â Eying my wings, he said, âBut Iâll point this outâthose things will get torn to shreds if you donât keep them tucked in.â
âHelpful.â I stuck my tongue out at him and turned to the woods. Tucking my wings in close as heâd suggested, I took off at a quick jog, hoping to catch up with any stragglers.
There were no stragglers.
Iâm so not getting extra credit for this.
Ahead, the wolves howled as they indulged in the chase and the occasional answering scream from one of the panthers sounded back.
I realized they were playing a Marc-Polo of sorts, crowding the creature into an ambush.
Smart.
Even if I ran as fast as I could, Iâd never catch them and Iâd end up wearing myself out, especially with these damn wings.
There was another howl, this one too close for comfort.
A fluffy white rabbit-like thing darted in front of me, cutting me off as I nearly tripped over it.
âShit!â I exclaimed as it disappeared under a hedge to my right.
A pack of wolves bolted from the trees, circling around from their ambush strategy as panther screams echoed their warning from nearby.
The bunny-thing darted in front of me again, but further down the path this time. Moving quicker now, I peered under the hedge only to almost mowed down as a panther dropped down out of a tree and leaped forward, intent on the chase.
The bunny darted across the path again. Swearing, I went
