Talya
I felt Ivan back away. It killed me not to keep an eye on him but turning and refusing to face him was an insult. In the middle of the parking lot there was little else I could do. I used what I had. My cat behaved oddly and I didn't like it. I'd never felt my alpha this close to the surface and I tried with everything I had to hold it back. Rondy and Cecily were in so much danger. There were other beastkind in the back of the van too. What the hell was going on?
I had one possible out, but I didn't know if it would end any differently for my friends. I could still communicate with Nicolas if I needed to. I'd tried to destroy our pack along with the bear clan by going after Dmitri. Would Nicolas even help me? So many thoughts scrambled my brain, but at the same time the scent of wolf had an entirely unwanted affect.
