Chapter 69

• Anna nodded when no words formed. He turned away and threw himself back into the fight with a wolf that met him halfway. Anna tried to take count of how many guards still stood and she was surprised to see a large amount of them did. The king must have really sent the best guards he had to survive this long against a rogue pack.
• Lucas stepped out of the shadows with bloodied foot prints. Something about the way he walked told her it wasn’t his blood and she almost felt sorry for the next rogue who put themselves in his way. He sniffed the air and turned to look at her with his piercing blue eyes before he turned away and targeted the closest enemy.
• A cold chill ran down her spine when the air thickened. She felt something warm caress the back of her neck. Her fingers curled tightly around the hilt of the dagger, she closed her eyes and silently prayed to the moon goddess. When it growled, Anna turned and plunged the dagger deep into his neck. A wolf light as the snow let out a wounded cry before it fell hard onto the ground. Anna quickly moved away from him and found a new tree to hide behind.
