*Soren*
Mila was knocked to the ground as I leaped over her and swatted at her attacker.
Payne was right behind me and took the first chance he got to flank the man that attacked Mila.
He stood between us, snarling and growling as he glanced back and forth.
I pulled my lips back, baring my teeth, growling and pawing at the ground.
He seemed to understand that he couldn’t win a fight against both of us and he wasn’t going to make it out alive if he waited around too long.
Hissing, he lunged into the nearest bushes and disappeared.
I growled and tossed my head in the direction he went. Payne nodded and took off after the guy. If he caught him, he’d interrogate the bastard. I had full faith in Payne’s abilities.
For the time being, I wanted to stay with Mila. Quickly, I shifted and threw on a pair of pants. Payne and I had brought a backpack with spare clothes, anticipating we’d have to shift on the fly.
