Chapter 299

• To my surprise, Kyle’s light gray wolf was the first to jump at the tree. He landed with all four paws against the trunk, causing the tree to sway. The branches shook and a few pinecones fell to the ground.
• I looked up at Tyler and noted that his smug expression was gone. He was gripping the branch tighter and actually looked a little nervous.
• I had no intention of letting Tyler try to break the bond again. He’d proven he couldn’t be trusted, but I needed him down from the tree. Then, my friends could do whatever they wanted with him. Any sympathy I had for him was buried deep within my wolf and as long as I didn’t shift, I wasn’t at risk of having an ounce of compassion for him. The only regret I had was that I couldn’t help. The threat of mourning him for the rest of my life was enough to make me hold myself back. It sucked, but the bond had been bad enough.
