Chapter 105: Truth and Escape
The woman stumbled, blood spattering onto the grass as she desperately tried to outrun the three massive rogues chasing her. Her eyes were wild with terror, her clothes torn and dirty.
Without thinking, Callum flung open the car door.
“What are you doing?” Levi shouted, but Callum was already moving.
An unexplainable urge surged through him. It was a primal need to protect this stranger. His bones cracked and reshaped as he shifted mid-leap, landing on all fours as a sandy-colored wolf.
With a ferocious growl, he charged at the nearest rogue, colliding with the larger wolf and sending them both tumbling across the ground.
Levi cursed under his breath before shifting as well. His black wolf was larger than Callum’s, his movements more precise as he tackled another rogue. The third wolf hesitated, looking between its fallen companions and the woman who had collapsed by the roadside.
Callum sank his teeth into his opponent’s shoulder, tasting blood. The rogue yelped in pain, twisting to break free. Nearby, Levi had pinned his target to the ground, jaws clamped around the rogue’s throat in warning.
The third wolf decided the fight wasn’t worth it. With a frustrated howl, it retreated into the forest. Seeing their pack mate flee, the other two rogues struggled harder, eventually breaking free and limping after their companion.
Callum stood panting, watching the rogues disappear into the trees. Only then did he shift back to human form, quickly pulling on his discarded clothes from the ground.
“Why are there rogues in Emberfang territory?!” Levi growled the moment he shifted back, sneering.
He ran a frustrated hand through his hair, turning to face the other side. The security team was spread thin since half of the warriors had been sent out to search for Hazel. Rogues finding a new way into Emberfang was not good news.
