Chapter 55

Masha

Chaos broke out.

When the strange man came out accompanied by his fire I leapt to my feet, the Werewolf holding me tumble in frantic surprise as three strange wolves flowed out from the pine trees. I can see my father Keanu, roaring in challenge, immediately engaging a wolfkin as the big brute jumped straight at me. I fell to the hard ground in a flurry of growls and bloody fur.

I could hear Louis calling me through our link, but I was too occupied with the two other wolves who are circling me. I dropped my head and pulled my lips back in a snarl, the stranger wolves both ragged of intermediate browns and grays, a harsh mien in their eyes as they snarled back, saliva dripping from their fangs.

'Masha!' Louis finally broke through, but I had to ignore him, as both wolves leaped at the same time. I dodged, ducking down, my opponent sailing over my head with a frustrated snarl.
