Chapter 21

TWENTY-ONE

The whisper went through the dark chamber, cold, and it did not even look like it was from this earth, making Ava's blood run really cold.

Asher held her wrist very tightly, his entire body was very tense as he put himself between her and the doorway that was with the shadow.

His eyes were already glowing quietly, his wolf was stirring up just under the surface.

"Who is there?" he demanded, his voice was calm but filled with some authority.

They heard nothing.

Ava's heart was pounding very hard. Her wolf was stirring inside of her to be warned, all of her instincts were screaming that something was actually wrong.

Then, just as suddenly as it had opened, the door started to close again.

"Wait!" Ava called, but before she could do anything, Asher lunged forward, putting his hand on the door before it could close completely.
