Chapter 8

“Which one is the alpha?” Elaine grabbed Josh by the shoulders and shook him. “Who is directing their transformation?”

“How should I know?” Josh concentrated on the circling wolves.

“Because detecting an alpha is about the only useful thing an omega can do.” Elaine blocked his escape path and snarled. “Now figure it out before someone gets hurt.”

Josh wasn’t sure who was more terrifying: Elaine or the rogues. Never mind that Silverbane was counting on him. The look that he’d given Josh before he had transformed again was enough to make Josh queasy at the thought of failing him.

The two transformed rogues looked equally impressive. One didn’t really seem more dominant than the other. In fact, they both seemed to be protecting the females and lesser males. Josh panned the untransformed rogues. The remaining males watched the circling werewolves with an equal mixture of anticipation and fear on their faces. One of the females clutched at the other in terror.
