They just have to find them first.

Wolfariane barely had the chance to lower Ismena to the ground before the Wild Ones attacked.

He grabbed hold of the first two that came within grabbing-distance and threw them in the direction of the trees. Loud thuds filled the air as they landed a great distance away from him.

The next second he shifted, taking his animal form. A huge wolf occupied the space where the man stood, raised its head to the sky, and howled.

Then, the fight really began.

Ismena's eyes began clearing in the face of danger. Her brain picked up the fight going on around her, even before her eyes could see it. She blinked hard to see clearly.

Cougars, wolves, and tigers. All attacked one wolf. The wolf standing a few feet in front of her, fighting brutally and tearing at every animal that comes close.

The wolf was white and very huge, it towered over all the others.Wolfariane.

This is the first time she is seeing him in complete wolf-form. And even though it scared the living daylight right out of her esophagus, her mouth gaped open at the exquisite beauty of the wolf.

It was so beautiful...and so lethal.

The sound of bones breaking filled the air, followed by the mangled body of a tiger thrown to the side, covered in blood. What In Heaven's Glory...!!

Her eyes wide open with fear and shock, Ismena can do nothing but watch the fight in front of her.

Then, her back prickled...

Something is behind her.

Slowly, she looked behind her to see a black cougar watching her like she's dinner and it's savoring before devouring. The instant her eyes met the cougar's, it took off in a dead run towards her.

Ismena opened her mouth wide to scream. But before the sound could develop well, the wolf jumped over her and attacked the cougar squarely. As they rolled over on the ground, the wolf was tearing the cougar apart, leaving a long trail of blood around them and all over them.

The roar of the cougar filled the night, followed by the sound of its skin tearing from its body.

And then, silence.

Silence so quiet and deafening at the same time, Ismena would have sworn that even the wind stood still, the leaves of the trees stopped waving around and the night insects in the air stilled their chirpings just to maintain the dead silence. As if they were all scared of the wolf too.

The only sound Ismena heard was the loud thudding of her heart in her chest as the wolf whirled around and focused solely on her.

Its white fur has gone red like it bathed in blood. Its teeth held onto a long bloody bone that came from the cougar he just tore apart. Then, it started a graceful walk towards her.

She swallowed tightly. Don't move, Ismena! Don't you dare move! Don't you dare run! This is Wolfariane, he wouldn't hurt you!

It doesn't matter that he killed all these bad people like a walk in the park! It doesn't matter that he has a cougar's bone hanging off his mouth..! It doesn't matter that he's in wolf-form! It doesn't matter that he is covered in blood...!

Hands clutching the sands of the ground on either side of her, she tried to hold back the panic that rose to her throat as the huge wolf got stopped in front of her. Amber-eyes watched her carefully.

Then, it ambled into her personal space, towering over her completely, and sniffed the air. Twice.

The wolf snarled like it doesn't like the smell it perceived.

Unbiddenly, Ismena remember Wolfariane's words inside the club. "You smell like him." He'd barked.

"Uhm, I d-didn't mean for him to p-put his hands on me." Her voice sounded like a screech to her own ears, "I know, I know I don't smell so good right now but I promise to dive into the first river I see—"

The rest of the words died on her throat when the huge werewolf lowered his head beneath her breasts...beneath her belly...and sniffed.

Holy thunder!!! She caught the words on her throat and only a gasp of terrified horror escaped as she watched the wolf sniff her privates.
