I gave a crooked grin and gestured toward the wolf. “Her name is Sorina.” I knew they assumed I had named the little animal.

“It means sun,” Robin said as he joined me. “Damn,” he remarked morosely, his eyes on St John, who’d walked to the back door and was gazing out of the pane of glass.

He looked up at me, and I felt a jolt of apprehension.
