My blood went cold as I sensed wolves. Multiple wolves where the boy headed. They were also positioned in a way that suggested they were lying in wait.
The boy hadn't sensed them. I could tell by the way he walked in, still clutching his pouch, completely unaware of the danger.
My heart lurched into my throat.
No.
A surge of energy went through me and I rushed towards the entrance of that alleyway. I didn't have a concrete plan, but I couldn't just stand there and watch.
The alley was narrow, shadowed by the buildings pressing close on either side. And it wasn't empty.
There were six wolves. Three had already shifted into their wolf forms, large, muscular beasts with fur ranging from black to brown. Their lips were pulled back, baring sharp teeth as their eyes fixed on the boy with predatory focus.
The other three remained in human form, lingering at the sides.
