Chapter 79: Ambush

"I wonder if gift is the right word to use." I let out a chuckle.

"Hey, what's that... supposed..." Malcom goes cold.

"Malcom, you okay? You know I was just jok..."

I don't get to finish my sentence when I hear something rustling behind me.

It's aimed for me, speeding like a bullet, too fast for me to react.

But in a heartbeat, Malcom's eyes turn gold, and he gets behind me. 

I hear a clash after, and when I turn, I find a wolf, bearing his fangs and claws, standing in front of Malcom.

I lose my breath, wondering to myself what is going on.

But the atmosphere that has suddenly surrounded us is telling enough.

My heart starts to race, and I feel a great unease.

Especially, as I'm on wolf's bane.

Dammit!

I take a step back, putting Malcom and this strange wolf in full view.

The wolf strikes Malcom, but Malcom side steps the claw and in an instant, snaps the wolf's neck.
