Chapter Ten

Aylin

My wolf raced through the woods as if her tail were on fire. The run satisfied her inner soul, but I became weak, my power draining with each step my wolf took. The tighter the black char coiled around me, the farther it divided me from my wolf. I thought the evil had been destroyed; instead, the black tendrils smothered me, trapping me.

I gasped for breath, trying to find the balance with my wolf, but she howled and ran faster. Does she know I’m in trouble? Ensnared within her mental walls?

My small silver companion whimpered as if she felt my turmoil.

Trouble!

My wolf slid to a stop. Her hackles rose. She prowled the small circle, eyeing the young pup, face lowered, tail erect. Danger! She growled.

A loud explosion echoed in the distance. Black smoke billowed into the crisp air like a volcano erupting. The explosion was near my home. My wolf barked, but stood her ground. Home? My human? Protect! My wolf’s confusion filtered through the bond, but she couldn’t hear me. She couldn’t follow my lead, because I couldn’t reach her. It was as though our single essence was divided and placed in opposite parts of the world.

Protect Aylin. My wolf repeated the mantra, looking for a threat. She stopped her roaming gaze on the pup and growled. Enemy.

“No!” I tried to reach out to her, but no words escaped my mouth or mind. Our language no longer the same dialect.

I fought the blackness trying to encompass me, but it drew tighter. I tried to call my essence forward into the physical human form. Nothing happened. Stepping into the spirit realm that housed my wolf was always easy, but I couldn’t bypass the barrier. Instead, I watched as my wolf’s spirit paced around the small frame, waiting for me. Waiting to unite as one.

My wolf’s whine became more nervous with each passing moment. Her fiery aura dimmed. I smelled the char as if I had inhaled the smoke that blanketed the sky – the taste bitter on my tongue.

Protect Aylin.

From everything.

Snap.

A twig broke behind us. My wolf whirled around to face the assailant. Spittle flew from her mouth as she growled, poised to protect me and Luna.

A young man held a bow with a flaming nocked arrow. He quivered. The bow shook, the arrow swaying from side to side. Sweat beaded on his face as he slowly pulled back the string.

Did he think an arrow would stop my wolf? She pounced, snarling.

“No!” Luna's shift was seamless, unlike her shift in front of the enforcers, Mack and Cole. She jumped between my wolf and the boy. Her hands held up in front of my wolf in a clear stop signal. “He's a friend. Tommy, lower the arrow. She's who I called you for.”

“Luna, thank the heavens!” The boy-man's voice trembled.

Danger, protect my human.

My wolf lunged, but plowed into an invisible wall in front of Luna and toppled backwards. Standing, she shook her fur — the cold snow doing little to cool the rage building inside my wolf.
