Then his huge form moves in front of me, physically blocking
me from this threat.
I suck a breath.
There is nowhere to go.
His body morphs until he’s part man, part wolf and far more
powerful than both.
Aaron doesn’t wait. He lunges at the lead wolf, his claws digging into the flesh of the animal before hurling the
creature over our heads and off the cliff.
