Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Mind-whammy

"NO!' I YELLED AT Zander. It felt wrong to hurt these creatures, like we'd really, really regret it. Whatever the reason was, I knew that I couldn't let him harm them.

I jumped up and was at his side in a second, pulling down his arm.

"What the hell, Tru?" He tried to wrench away from me, but I held on like superglue.

My wolf immediately moved in to block the gray one, who snapped back at it, his mouth pulling back into a toothy grimace. Just then, I heard tires screeching to a stop in the street and a car door slam. Running feet headed toward the gate.

What now? I thought.

The two wolves growled, united once again. They lowered their heads as they turned toward the gate. Whatever was coming through it seemed to be a bigger threat than Zander, and my stomach dropped.
