*Zariah*
I can feel breath on my back. That’s how close the mammoth wolf that is chasing us down is to catching up with Aurora and I. She’s usually extremely fast, but with me on her back, she’s not as quick as usual, and one glimpse over my shoulder tells me that one of his legs is longer than her whole body, so it just takes a stride for him to take a huge chunk out of her lead.
I want to encourage her, to tell her to run faster, but I can’t do that because I know she feels the Alpha back there coming as fast as he can, too. So all I can do is hold and pray to the Goddess that something will happen, and he will be stopped before he can hurt us.
