Chapter 49

Talia crouched down and pulled her lips back, exposing her teeth. They might have the numbers, but she would take a few down. Vlad stepped forward, snarling at her.

“So if it isn’t the Rogue princess. You are out here all alone? Did Luca get bored with you already?”

“Vlad, my old friend. Did you come back for me to kick your butt again?”

Vlad lunged at her, but she stepped out of his path. His reaction time was pathetic. As he passed, she raked her claws down his side. A large gray wolf rammed into her side while another pounced on her back. She grabbed a smaller tan wolf in her jaws and shook it until she heard its neck snap, and it went limp. She flung it aside and lunged for another. The wolf on her back shredded the fur from her as he slipped off. She spun around pinned it to the ground, and ripped out its throat.
