Chapter 53

• Elara’s mind raced. What did this wolf mean? The northern pack had been a threat, but this creature’s words suggested something far more dangerous—something bigger than just territory and power struggles. She didn’t have time to question it, though, as the wolf lunged forward with lightning speed.
• Damien was already there, intercepting the creature with a brutal swipe of his claws. The force of the impact sent the wolf tumbling to the ground, but it was back on its feet almost instantly, undeterred by the blow.
• Elara stepped back, her eyes locked on the creature as she prepared for the fight ahead. The tension in the air was thick enough to suffocate them. This was no ordinary battle. This was something much more personal.
