Page 50 of Shadow City: Silver Wolf

She was toasted, which meant she’d drunk a ton and had added wolfsbane to the mix. I had no clue why she’d let herself get this sloshed.

"You," she slurred and took a wobbly step in my direction. "Ofcourse,he'd be out here with you." She leaned forward, one of her sharp-nailed fingers pointing at me.

Griffin stepped in front of me, blocking me from her view. "What are you doing here, Luna?"

"You din’t answer my calls." She shook the finger in his face. "Whut would my daaaddy say?"

Was she threatening him?

"I don't give a flying fuck what he'd say." Griffin crossed his arms, looking unamused. "I'm the alpha, not him."

She laughed. "For suuumone so hawt,” she continued, poking him in the chest, “yurrr stupid."

How dare she talk to him like that? I couldn't hold my tongue any longer. "Did you come all this way to insult him?"

Griffin tensed as Luna bared her teeth at me.

"Bish, doantalkto me." She waved her hand dismissively at me. "Notworthmytime."

"Don't talk to her like that." Griffin growled. "You're the one who showed up here wasted. You called me over twenty times, and I didn't answer. Maybe you should've taken the hint."

"Youdin’t git this way ’tilherrr." Her bones began to break, and fur sprouted all over her body.

I gasped at the nerve. Was she crazy enough to attack me in this drunken state? I didn’t like her, but that didn’t mean I wanted to fight her. I wanted her to leave me the hell alone.

Within seconds, she’d shifted into her wolf form, leaving her clothes lying shredded around her paws.

"Luna, what are you doing?" Griffin said sternly. "You need to stand down."

She shook her large wolf head defiantly and ran toward us. Her eyes were locked on my neck.

She intended to kill me.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

My wolf surged forward,but this time, for protection instead of trying to take control. I allowed the shift to happen as Luna charged at me. My skin tingled as my fur sprouted, and I quickly removed the sheath seconds before my clothes ripped apart and fell from my body.

I hated shifting and ruining my clothes, but she would have an easier time hurting me if I didn't shift too.

"Luna,stop," Griffin growled as he stood protectively in front of me. He spread his legs in a fighter pose and tensed his shoulders. "Don't make me force you with my alpha will."

Her wolf made a choking noise that must have been a laugh. She obviously didn't think he had the balls to force her to stop. Given the way Griffin allowed Dick to treat him, it was no wonder she didn’t think she had to listen to him. She continued to advance, clearly not concerned about his unveiled threat.

"Fine," he growled as he crouched.

The dumbass was going to get hurt, which infuriated me. If that bitch injured him in any way, I'd kill her. My wolf howled in agreement.

Luna ran around him and lunged, but in her drunken haze, she miscalculated, and her teeth snapped at Griffin's shoulderinstead of me. He held his arms out as if that would prevent injury, but all he did was give her a better target for her teeth.

If my father was here now, he'd have been horrified at how clueless these two shifters were in the art of battle. At least, this time, my head was in the game.

In a bid to keep from adding another kill to my list and end up on the bad side of one of Shadow City’s council members, I head-butted Griffin's ass, causing him to stumble out of the way.

"No!" he yelled. "I was handling it!"

If he'd let me focus, I would take down the drunken psycho in seconds.

A snarl ripped from her as she opened her mouth wider, going for my neck. I stood on my hind legs and let her fall, missing her mark completely. She managed to catch herself with her front paws, but they gave out, and she tumbled to the ground.
