A Brush With Death

The feral lunged, its claws gleaming in the dim light, and I realized—this was it.

I had to live to uncover the full truth behind everything and to also save my parents, my family needed me.

The moment I decided, my wolf form took over. My body shifted, power surging through me, claws sharpening and my senses heightened.

The feral vampire let out a sound that was a twisted mix of a roar and a screech as it was in mid-air.

I barely dodged the swipe, its claws grazing past me. Using every ounce of my agility, I rolled and maneuvered behind it.

A low growl rumbled in my chest, and without hesitation, I leapt for its head. With a sickening crunch, my teeth sank deep into its neck, tearing its head clean off.

Oh, Angels, I wanted to vomit. The taste was vile—nothing like the sweet, fresh flesh of an animal. It was a bitter, putrid mess that clawed its way into my throat.

I spat the foul taste from my mouth, my eyes flicking toward Ginevra.
