Chapter 680 For So Long (2)

• I slapped the shutter shut and threw down the bolt. I caught my breath. Stepping back from the shutter. I reached the table. I fumbled one hand over the top, still watching those shutters, until I found my dagger. I swept it up. I decided I'd kill as many as I could, then myself, long before I'd let any of them breed me.
• I clenched my fist around the dagger. Adjusting my grip until I found the firmest hold.
• I heard growling. Snarling. Shapes were darting past the slit of the shutters. It took me a moment to realize wolves were fighting at the door. They were throwing each other along the wall of my hut.
