Chapter 18: Team Effort

Dane POV

He could sense the thieves now that he and his brothers had wounded them. The thieves couldn’t mask the scent of blood easily, at least not until they healed.

He didn’t know if the nameless leader was a shifter, but he assumed so. In the confusion, he couldn’t keep track of all the enemies–who was a shifter and who wasn’t. The leader never used any of the shifter languages. None of them did.

He analyzed the thieves as a way to divert himself from the pain. They could be Crimsontail shifters but working hard to conceal their identities. They could be rogue shifters working with the Crimsontail Shadows. No one knew why or how the blood feud between Evenhide and Crimsontail began. Even Tulaska only had legends, rumors, and half-truths.
