Chapter 14 Shadows Unleashed

• The air was heavy, almost choking, as the wolves surrounded us. My heart raced as Asher and Julian instinctively took up defensive stances beside me. Fear surged through me, mixed with something darker that I couldn't hold back any longer.
• The blood moon loomed above, casting a red light over the trees, the open space, and the wolves creeping closer. Their bright eyes were fixed on me, eager, waiting for me to make a mistake.
• I sensed it then—the shadow within me awakening, pushing against my control. The darkness that had whispered to me since my bite, since my change began, was now roaring. The urge was powerful, stronger than ever before. It felt like a storm building inside me, ready to take over.
