Page 38 of True Wolf

When I noticed Nessah reaching for the hem of her shirt, I narrowed my eyes. “What the fuck are you doing?”

“I’m helping. There might be more out there waiting. I know these people. They never fight fair. You’re only one person.”

“Who is more than capable. Stay here.”

“Zion.”

I gave her a look that dared her to challenge me and she nodded.

As soon as I was out of the car, I removed my jeans and with a fluid motion, I shifted into my wolf form. The familiar sensation of my bones reshaping and muscles expanding sent a thrill coursing through me. My senses heightened and every sound, every scent, sharpened.

With a low growl rumbling from deep within my chest, I stepped forward.

I would say I’m surprised but considering who your leader is, you being stupid enough to challenge me is expected. - Me

Rolf didn’t send me. He’s a coward but you already know that. - Seth

And you’re stupid if you think this is a good idea. – Me

What I think is you and your brothers need to understand that we do things our way here. Even if Rolf is too much of a pussy to check your disrespect, I’m not. I’ll kill you, blame him, then take my rightful place as leader of this pack. It should have always been me. Rendell was a fool to believe his spineless son would ever be able to lead. – Seth

He lunged at me, a dark blur against the headlights of my car. I sidestepped just in time, feeling the rush of wind as he passed by, narrowly missing my flank.

He regrouped and charged from the left, teeth bared, eyes glowing. I ducked low, feeling the rush of air as I evaded himonce again. I growled low as a warning and crouched, preparing for his next advance. We collided in a blur of fur and teeth. I felt the rush of air as his canines snapped just inches from my neck. I countered with a strike of my own, my teeth sinking into his shoulder, but he was quick, twisting away and spinning to face me.

Playtime is over. Attack, now – Seth

Fuck.

Another wolf rushed from the woods, moving full speed. With a surge of adrenaline, I braced myself, timing their attack, catching him in the side and Seth in the neck. My teeth tore at his flesh until I had the taste of blood. He landed hard on his back, giving me enough time to charge the other wolf.

Seizing the opportunity, I lunged forward, my teeth finding his neck. I felt the warm rush of victory as he crumpled to the ground, defeated. But my victory was short-lived because Seth came down hard on me. I clawed his side but his teeth ripped at my shoulder.

His weight pressed down on me, momentarily knocking me off balance, but I pushed back, using every ounce of strength to shove him aside. I caught a glimpse of movement from the corner of my eye just in time to catch a flash of silver colliding with black.

Nessah was no longer in the car. She shifted and attacked the other wolf. I didn’t have time to address the issue because Seth knocked into my side. I rolled onto my back just in time to defend another advance with my claws slashing through his neck, dropping him to the ground.

I swung my head in time to see the large wolf charging Nessah. She was quick, darting away from his snapping jaws. With a fierce growl, she countered, bracing herself, but I pounced on him, sinking my teeth into him until I ripped his throat free then I dropped to the ground myself.

Nessah rushed me, nudging me with her snout.

Zion. – Nessah

I’m fine and I told you to stay in the damn car. – Me

And I told you there would be more. You should have listened. – Nessah

She shifted and was standing over me—angry, beautiful, and naked.

Put your clothes on and get in the car. – Me

But you’re…- Nessah

She stomped away, heading back to the car, and I slowly lifted, testing my shoulder. I was bleeding but it wasn’t too bad so I would be completely healed in a few hours. Right now, I needed to move that damn truck out of our way so we could find a hotel and get cleaned up. Then I was fucking and marking my mate.

&

We found a hotel in Diamond Falls because there was no way in hell I would survive the drive home with what I was feeling. As pissed as I was that Nessah didn’t stay in the car like I demanded, knowing she was willing to fight beside me had my dick hard. Allowing our wolves to bond and experience each other in our rarest form was a feeling I couldn’t describe.
