Chapter 15: Pack Brothers

Lilia POV

Outnumbered. Hopelessly outnumbered.

Even though Dane was the biggest and strongest wolf, bigger than Monk who had shifted into a wolf the color of dried blood, their odds against these shifters had been too even for Lilia’s liking. Now, with the reinforcements that just arrived, they had about as much chance as a snowball in a fire-breathing dragon’s lair.

She wanted to vomit at the thought of giving up. They couldn’t give up, if only on principle. These thieves couldn’t get away with their crime unopposed.

The leader gripped her by the shoulders and drew her back, away from the fighting as Dane took on all of the attackers.

“You said you wouldn’t hurt him if I cooperated,” she hissed.

“He should have listened to you,” the thief leader said with a cold look. “But then, you conspired with him. So when he dies, you only have yourself to blame.”
