Chapter 36: The Fight
Amanda watched in horror as Jed was replaced by a huge gray wolf, tufts of white speckling his fur. He was huge; even bigger than Levi, if only by the slightest amount. His eyes were full of malice, and as his lip curled up to reveal his teeth, Amanda felt the fine hairs on the back of her neck raise in alarm.
“You got this,” she whispered to Levi.
Now that Jed was out, the rogues would only be so far behind, and she knew it wouldn’t take long for them to hunt out the scent of the pups. Aside from Jed, no one had spotted her yet, so she turned on her heel and made a mad dash into the woods.
Maybe she couldn’t protect herself from a pack of wolves on a good day, but she’d be d*mned if she let anything hurt the pups. She just had to make sure no one got to them while the rest of the pack hurried to their rescue.
