CHAPTER 23

  Lucien:

  They howled again, and I felt myself shift as Caspian took over, his anger a fuel for him.

  We charged out of the house, three wolves hot on my tail. A couple of my stronger pack males and even a few females had been quick to understand what had happened, shifting and following me to the woods. I shook my black coat and howled into the musky evening, my pack howling with me.

  We reached the dark borders of my pack, blood that was both Raleigh's and Tania's staining the green grass. I snarled, sniffing the dry blood and looking around.

  Alpha, there's a problem, Conner linked me.

  I looked at his dirty brown wolf, jerking my head. What?

  Cindy flanked my right, her eyes dark and boiling. Raleigh and Luna Tania had never left pack lands, she said.

  WHAT!? I roared.

  Everyone behind me whimpered, but Conner and Cindy stood tall.
