His fingertips brushed the soft table cover as he closed the distance between us. "It would bring me no greater pleasure than to destroy your traitorous father, however you and your wallflower now reign power of this pack."
Tears welled up in my eyes as I fought to swallow the pain shooting through my body. My wolf had heard enough. Questions of who this man was, why he hated everyone so much and why everyone feared him, disappeared. My wolf was ready to protect us, to shift and prepare for an attack.
My wolf's attention shifted away from the stranger and to the edge of the forest. Dark figures were slowly approaching. Trying not to draw attention to myself, I kept my head forward and only moved my eyes, noting more and more silhouettes closing in on us. It didn't escape my attention that not all were in human form. Groups of wolves were also approaching alongside them.
