When the red frosted wolf abandoned me, the human named Frank knelt beside me, pressing his hand to my throat. “Richard,” he chided.

With him so close, there was something familiar about the human, but I was too tired to remember what. When I didn’t move, the human ran his furless paw along my side. I should have lifted my head or done something other than wait, but without the need to guard the den driving me, the aches and pains I had ignored crashed down on me.

My neck hurt the most, and my paws twitched in reaction to the rippling pain racing down my spine with my every breath.

“You better change fast, Desmond,” Frank called out. “Damien, we’re going to need the wolfsbane and Ketamine, I think.”

“Frank!” my human protested.

Shifting my gaze to her, I stared dully, wondering if I could cross the distance to her. She stood with the human who held the black box.

“No luck subjugating him?” Damien asked, stowing the black box in his fake fur.

“Why don’t you let us Fenerec deal with Fenerec pack business, witch,” Frank growled. “Nicolina, how well do you think his neck had been healing?”

“It’s weird,” my human complained, shifting her weight from foot to foot. “When she… when she was severing him, she broke it again. To control him, I think. She kept making him change back and forth, and the last time he became a wolf, it was like he’d never been injured.”

“He’s still injured,” Frank replied, scratching me with his furless paw behind the ears. “I’m willing to bet his neck is still broken and hasn’t healed all that much.”

My human drew close, crouching beside me. Reaching out, she pressed her hand to my throat. “But if it’s broken, how can he move? He wasn’t able to after the crash.”

“Desperation. Fenerec heal fast, and a mad wolf who can’t fight is a dead wolf. Maybe he healed just enough to function during the transformations? How many times did he change?”

“Five times for certain. I was out for a while, so I may have missed a few. It was early morning the first time she forced him.” My human sounded worried, and her anxiety tainted her scent. “The one time she forced him to become a human, he bled everywhere. He… he was lying in a pool of his own blood, Frank.”

I whined, but lacked the strength to reach for my human.

“Deep breaths, Nicolina,” Frank ordered.

“Sorry,” she squeaked.

“You have absolutely nothing to be sorry for. Damn it, I can’t even try to subjugate him, Damien.” Frank’s scent soured with his concern.

“Why not?” Damien demanded.

“It’s because he’s so submissive,” a familiar voice said, husky with pain. My human rose with a strangled cry, spun around, and launched herself in the direction of the human. My nose identified him as a male. Like the other humans, he wore fake furs. Catching my human in his arms, he held her close. “If I had known they were still lurking in the area, I wouldn’t have let Richard leave the house.
