Silently our two groups ascended the stairs. I led my hunting party as I was more able to sneak around in my human form. Most of the second floor seemed to be open in the middle where the grand staircase opened up.
There were another dozen men in this room, standing guard around a black altar. That altar screamed one thing to me, well perhaps it was two. EVIL and WEDDING. Those were the words that were currently pounding their way through my brain.
Was that the wedding arch that Howard was going to use when he married my Star. He would do that only over my dead body. I would never let him marry my girl.
'She is mine. She belongs to me. I will protect her.' My wolf's voice was turning more and more beastial as he roared those words in anger.
