Chapter 54

• Maddie looked down at the crumpled remains of their leader, and she gave an eye signal to the wolves around, and they shifted almost immediately and rounded up all the men, holding a knife to their throats.
• Maddie shifted to her powerful lean frame, not at all ashamed of her skin, but the men turned bright red at her, and they slowly peeled her eyes away from her body.
• Maddie cleared her throat, and she tucked her arms inside herself, standing taller and prouder as she looked at the men. “As you can see, your leader is dead, even though he put up a good fight.” And just for effect, Maddie kicked his body, satisfied when it moved a few feet.
