Chapter 130

• I rushed to Killian’s side, ready to defend him from any of the other wolves backing his brother. As we squared off against our nemesis, I saw Nile and Jasper leading our wolves, working together to drive the attackers back. Instead of a disordered melee, we now had battle lines. The tides were turning.
• Just as we were about to attack Franco, pushing him back once and for all, a flash of silver whooshed from behind us and hit Killian on the back. I whirled around as he howled in pain, trying to find where the hit had originated from.
• The beta wolf that Killian had attacked was no longer lying on the ground. He had been faking how badly he had been injured, and he’d used the opportunity to shift into human form and surprise him from behind. He held a strange silver knife in his hand—apparently, the same weapon that had been used moments ago to strike him.
