“What…what…what the fuck is that?!” I screamed, my orgasm disappearing faster than it ever had before. Because there was a… Seriously what the fuck was that beast that had been Titan a minute ago?!
“Titan had the watch before he turned,” Bennett shouted over to the other guys. “Show me that the three of you can handle this.”
Titan growled again, spittle flying everywhere as he bared his teeth at Bennett.
I took a step back. He was…This isn’t possible…
Bennett cracked his neck to the side and then leapt forward, transforming in midair. He landed on four paws in front of Titan.
They were…
I shook my head.
But I couldn’t unsee it. I wasn’t imagining it. They were…cats. The biggest cats I’d ever seen in my life.
Titan lunged at Bennett. Bennett stood up on his hind legs, meeting Titan’s attack.
“You need to come with me,” Ace said and grabbed my hand.
“But…”
“Get her out of here!” Otto yelled as he tried to grab the pocket watch off the ground.
Titan swiped at him and he barely dodged the sharp claws in time.
“Otto!” I screamed.
“Zoey, we have to go.” Ace tried to pull me toward the door.
I couldn’t leave! They were going to kill Otto! “Otto!” I yelled again as Bennett lifted his massive paw.
Otto turned to me instead of paying attention. His face would have been scratched off if Huxley hadn’t just shifted into a huge cat and tackled Bennett onto his back.
Oh God, Huxley too?!
“Fuck,” Ace said. He let go of my hand and stepped toward the chaos.
They were all…they were all…what the fuck?! They’d transformed into cats. Kind of like…werewolves. Only cats. Werecats weren’t a thing!
“Get her the fuck out of here!” Otto yelled again.
But it was pretty clear he needed help. Every time he stepped toward the watch, one of the cats tried to maul him to death.
Maul him.
To death.
I thought about the severed hand in the hay maze. No.No, no, no.I thought about how King had tried to warn me about more supernatural creatures lurking around this cursed town. I hadn’t really believed him. Because I didn’t want to.
Shit.Otto had literally told me he was cursed when I’d flirted with him. And I hadn’t thought anything of it.I just thought he was being dramatic and messing with my head.
I really didn’t know what was going on, but it was clear that Ace and Otto needed my help. And Titan had just kicked the watch toward me. It was only a few feet away. I inched closer, holding my breath.
But Titan heard me.
He slowly turned around. His black eyes met mine and the low guttural growl that escaped his throat was the loudest yet.
I held up my hands. As if that would help at all. Why the hell had I thought I could grab the watch when it was inches away from him? I took a step back. And Titan prowled toward me.
