An ugly gray wolf stalked out from the dark woods, followed by another and another.
Jace and Seraphine each took a side of me, ready to fight.
When the rogues moved forward, it was in a rush, all of them coming at us in unison. Jace and Seraphine both lunged at the wolves closest to me, trying to protect me, but there were so many of them and only the three of us.
Jace grabbed a large black wolf by the neck and bit down, shaking it until it stopped moving. But as soon as he had dealt with that one, two more were on top of him. I watched in horror as they bit into his muscular back, trying to get to his neck. He continued to fight, but soon he was under a pile of rogue wolves.
Seraphine was fast for an older woman, and she managed to take out two of the smaller female wolves, biting into their necks and pulling until they went down, but she wasn’t a warrior.
A larger male came at her, and as I saw him knock her to the ground, leaping on top of her, tears filled my eyes.
