Chapter Eight

Victor glared at the four wolves that stood before his group. One of their scents was familiar, but it wasn’t that of either the second or Gabriel. That wasn’t much of a positive, but he’d take what he could get.

They hadn’t just disabled Avani’s car, they had destroyed it. There was no way they could get away from the wolves, and more were coming up behind. Seven versus four.

Farrell was the first to react, growling at Victor, then chuffing at Avani and Sandy. “Victor up front, Avani and Sandy on watch.” It wasn’t the most complex set of instructions, but wolves weren’t the best at speech. All three growled in reply, and before they could begin to move, Farrell launched himself at the two closest wolves.

Victor closed in fast, but the speed and ferocity of his partner surprised him. Farrell was always the one to avoid fights whenever he could, and because of that Victor frequently forgot how well the man could handle himself. Still, he was wounded. Victor could smell the blood and gunpowder residue. He would have to be careful.

Victor tore his attention away from Farrell as the other two wolves approached. Victor was confident he could take them in an everyday fight, but he was tired from the distracting and running, whereas his opponents had just been sitting around in wait for their return.

The wolf on his left, a small gray, came in first, going straight on the offensive, forcing Victor to back up or be bitten. He dodged the first two attacks and managed to smack the wolf on the head, knocking some sense out of him for a moment. The second wolf, larger and mostly white, used that moment to lunge in, but he bit nothing but air as Victor danced away.

Victor circled the pair, avoiding their attacks but not getting many opportunities to fight back. The pair was obviously used to working together. Whenever one sank back from a failed attack, the other came straight in, leaving Victor with little to do other than keep away.

Farrell, on the other hand, was having a different problem. He was faster and stronger than both of his opponents, but he also had to work hard to keep the pair away from his wounded shoulder. The bullet hadn’t seemed to bother him during the run back to the car, but it certainly seemed to be paining him now. Still, he was having less of an issue with his two than Victor was with his.

As he circled farther around, he managed to get a glance at Avani and Sandy. They had paired up against the three, and were easily keeping them at bay. Few wolves were faster than Avani, and Victor was sure she could have done the same by herself. Not that Sandy wasn’t helping. Every time one or more went for Avani, she’d try and lunge in for a bite. It wasn’t the most effective, but over time she was scoring some hits and demoralizing the three attackers.
