Death at Dawn

Third person's POV

The thunderous growl was followed by movement from every direction as rogues emerged from the forest, surrounding Aiden and Chloe in a tight circle. 

Without hesitation or thinking about consequences, Aiden stepped in front of Chloe, his body acting as a shield between her and the approaching threat.

"Oh, how protective our mate is!" Chloe's wolf swooned internally.

"This is hardly the time!" Chloe snapped at her wolf, her eyes scanning their opponents.

A harsh voice cut through their minds via mind link. The rogues were in wolf form. 

"Hand over the she-wolf, and you might live to see another day." One of the rogues snarled at Aiden. 

Both Aiden and Chloe were angered by the statement but Chloe spoke up first. 

"That 'she-wolf' happens to be an Alpha, and a powerful one at that." Chloe snarled, furiously.
