Grayson’s POV
The crack of a gunshot ripped through the air, and | felt the sharp impact of something grazing my side. My wolf
snarled in fury, his instincts roaring to the surface. The pain only fueled us as we circled the clearing, the hunters
tightening their formation around Ava’s cage.
“Stay back!” one of them barked, his flashlight trembling in his grip. The scent of fear rolled off him in waves.
My wolf ignored the command. | bared my teeth, a guttural grow rising in my chest as | crouched low, ready to
strike. The hunters hesitated, their confidence faltering.
“Is that thing even a normal wolf?” another muttered, his voice tinged with doubt.
“It doesn’t matter!” the leader snapped. “Focus! Take it down before it gets any closer.”
Another tranquilizer dart whizzed past me, narrowly missing my neck. My wolf growled, surging forward despite
the heaviness in my limbs. The tranquilizers were wearingdown but my determination to reach Ava burned
hotter than the drug’s numbing effects
Ava’s scent was everywhere, sharp and filled with the coppery tang of blood. My eyes darted to her cage again.
She wasn’t moving, her fur matted and her breathing shallow. The sight sent a fresh wave of anger crashing over
me. They had hurt

made the nearest hunter flinch.
“Why isn’t it going down?!” one of them shouted, panic creeping into his voice.
The leader cursed under his breath. “Use the nets! Take it alive if we can!”

avoiding it. | snapped at the closest hunter, my jaws closing inches from his arm. He scrambled back, tripping
over a fallen branch. “Stay on it!” the leader barked, his tone sharp with authority. “We're not losing this one!”
More hunters moved in, their weapons raised, forming a wall of bodies betweenand Ava. My w wanted blood.
He wanted to tear through them, to protect what was his.

I lunged again, my claws slashing through the air, but just as | broke through the nearest line of hunters,
something heavy crashed intofrom the side. The force sentsprawling to the ground. | roared, twisting to
see two hunters pinningdown, their knees digging into my back.
A third dart struck my neck, and this time, the drug hit harder. My vision blurred, the edges of the world growing
hazy. My wolf fought against the pull of unconsciousness, his growls turning into guttural snarls.
The world was a haze of pain and rage, and then | felt it-that flicker. The connection with my wolf stuttered, like
a flabout to go out, and for a moment, | froze.
Not now. Not like this.
The world aroundfelt distant as panic clawed its way into my chest. | tried to reach for him, to pull him back,
but it was Hike grasping at smoke.
“If you're about to leavenow, this is a fucking bad time,” | growled inwardly.

There was silence for a moment, then the faintest response a low, guntural growl of pante. He was there, but
barely fis presence flickered like a dying flame, and | could feel his fear such as my own.
“Hang on? | hissed at him. “Hang on until they're all dead. For Ava. You can’t leave now. Not now!”
It was as if those words struck a nerve. | felt the bond between unap back into place, but it wasn’t smooth or
naturalit was forceful, almost violent like a door being slammed shut. It didn’t matter. He was back, and that was
all I needed.
Rage surged throughlike a flood, and my wolf howled, the send echoing both in my mind and through the
clearing. The hunters stumbled back, their bravado crumbling as | roke ny feet, towering over them
“Take it down!” one of them shouted, his voice cracking with feal
| moved faster than they could react. My claws raked through the chest of the nearest hunter, blood spraying
across the ground as he crumpled to the earth. Another raised his rifle, but was on him before he could fire. My
teeth sank into his shoulder, bone crunching under the pressure.
“What the hell is this thing?!” someone screamed, but | didn’t stop to listen.
Another dart hit my back, the needle barely piercing my thick hide. It didn’t matter. My wolf pushed through the
numbing effect, fueled by the unrelenting need to protect Ava.
| turned on the next hunter, his trembling hands fumbling with a net. He barely had tto raise it before | tore
through him, my claws slashing through flesh like paper. His scream was cut short, replaced by the wet gurgle of
blood.
“Why isn’t it going down?!” someone cried, desperation thick in his voice.
“It’s a demon!” another shouted.
I snarled, my lips pulling back to reveal bloodstained fangs. The scent of fear in the air was intoxicating, spurring
hold.
Another dart hit me, and then another, but it was useless. My wolf and | were one, an unstoppable force fueled
by fury and bloodlust. | ripped through the last hunter in my path, leaving only their leader standing.
He scrambled backward, tripping over roots and fallen bodies as | stalked toward him. His flashlight shook in his
grip, the beam dancing wildly across the clearing.
“Stay back!” he stammered, his voice quivering. “What... what sort of monster are you?”
I didn’t answer. Words were meaningless now. With a final snarl, | lunged at him, my teeth sinking into his neck.
The coppery taste of blood flooded my mouth as his body went limp in my jaws.
And then it happened.
| felt the connection with my wolf snap. One moment we were a seamless force, and the next, he was gone,
leavinghollow. My body shifted against my will, bones cracking and reshaping as | collapsed to the ground in
my human form. Pain exploded through me, and | let out a groan as | hit the dirt, the cold seeping into my skin.
For a moment, | just lay there, my chest heaving as the adrenaline began to wear off. My body ached in ways |
hadn't felt in years, but the satisfaction of knowing they were all gone the ones who had hurt Ava-was worth
every ounce of pain.
| forced myself to my feet, glancing around the clearing. It was a mess of torn bodies, shattered weapons, and
trampled earth. Not a single hunter had survived. The satisfaction was bittersweet as | realized there was
nothing left of their clothing to use. My wolf had torn through them with such ferocity that everything was in
shreds.
But then my eyes caught on a bag lying near one of the fallen hunters, fabric spilling out of its opening. | sighed,
scrunching my nose at the cheap material as | knelt to inspect it. It wasn’t much, but it would have to do. |

wolf.

Her fur was a brilliant white, streaked with lines of gold that shimmered faintly in the moonlight. She looked like
a creature pulled from myth, her beauty undeniable even in her battered state.
| knelt by the cage, my hands fumbling with the lock until it finally gave way. The door creaked open, and |
reached in, my fingers brushing against her fur. It was softer than | expected, silken and warm despite the blood
that matted parts of it.
“Ava,” | murmured, my voice raw and hoarse. “It’s over. You're safe.”
She didn’t stir, her breathing shallow but steady. | ran my hand gently over her side, feeling for any injuries that
might need immediate attention. The bond between us was quiet now, her wolf as unresponsive as mine had
been moments before.
| reached for my wolf again, desperate for that connection, but there was only emptiness-a void that felt all too
familiar.
The absence burned more than | wanted to admit. Without him | couldn't mind-link anyone from the estate to
cget us out of here That meant I'd have to wait until Ava woke up before we could move.
| leaned back, taking in the sight of her wolf again. Even in this state, she was beautiful. The sight of her made
something stir deep within me-a protective instinct so fierce it almost hurt.
“You're not leaving me,” | said softly, brushing a strand of golden fur away from her face. “Not now. Not ever.”
The clearing was silent, save for the faint rustle of the wind and then I finally glanced around, like really looked
and a wave of confusion coursed through my mind as | took a step backwards, wondering:
Where the hell were we?
