The clang of steel and the fierce howls of wolves involved in battle rocked the night. The scent of blood and sweat filled the air, and as I fought beside Lucien, my sword sliced through rogue after rogue, my heart raced. With their massive numbers, Alec's army had overrun us like a storm, yet Lucien's pack gave it their all in the fight.
I kept beside Lucien, keeping an eye on his back as he took the lead. He moved quickly and fiercely, as though the power flowing through his blood gave him unbeatable might. However, despite his might, the conflict was hot and the rebels persistent.
"Remain with me!" Over the din of battle, Lucien yelled, his eyes sparkling silver as he slew another outlaw with a terrible blow.
"I'm here right now!" I yelled back, breathing hard as I stopped a rogue's attack that was thrown at me. Every muscle in my body cried out in protest, and my arms hurt, yet I was unable to stop. Not right now.
