The Unwanted Wolf – Chapter 43

A large, almost black wolf pinned Theron to the ground. He was snarling, and saliva was spraying all over Theron’s face. I instantly knew it was Jori. I could feel his energy and strength as an alpha. Theron’s face was frozen with shock.

Haley stared at the scene, but she didn’t move towards it. She turned to me instead. She lunged towards me, and I held up my hands in defense. She never reached me, though. Another wolf flew through the air, knocking her to her feet. This wolf was such a pale blond, it was almost white. Haley screamed as the wolf pinned her down.

Theron shouted out in frustration. In a blink of an eye, he was standing behind Jori instead of pinned to the ground. He pulled out a knife.

calculating all of my options. I had to be faster than Theron. Maybe I could grab Mark and shift away with him. I still wasn’t great at shifting myself, though, so I didn’t know if I would be able to shift another person. Even if I could, I still hadn’t managed to shift more than a few feet.
