Chapter 7: Wolves at the Window
Lily Carter POV
I slammed the bedroom door shut and pressed my back against it, my heart racing madly. The growling outside grew louder. Three sets of yellow eyes stared at me through the window - wild wolves had found me even here, inside the Alpha’s house.
"Help!" I shouted, hoping someone would hear me. "Rogues!"
I grabbed a heavy silver candlestick from the cabinet, the only weapon I could find. My hands shook as the first wolf slammed its body against the window glass, making it crack. I’d only been in this fancy bedroom for one night, and already I was under attack.
The door behind me vibrated as someone beat on it.
"Lily! Let me in!" It was Brock’s deep voice, urgent and dominating.
I jumped away and opened the door. Brock burst in, already half-shifted with claws extended. Behind him came Aiden and Caleb, their eyes glowing with protective rage.
"Get back," Aiden demanded, pushing me behind them.
The window broke inward. Glass sprayed across the soft carpet I’d been afraid to walk on just hours before. A massive black wolf jumped into the room, teeth bared.
Brock met the attack head-on, changing fully into his silver wolf form. The two rolled across the floor in a blur of growling and snapping. Aiden rushed to join the fight while Caleb pulled me toward the door.
"Wait," I said, stopping him. "I can help!"
