I kept to the shadows and ran after Ashley. It was easy enough to track them. They left a wide trail.
When I caught up to them, they were in a clearing in the forest, the two wolves facing off.
I took cover in some underbrush and stayed out of sight. It was weird to see the two of them just staring at each other. If Ashley really thought the other wolf was a threat, she would have destroyed him.
It took a moment, but the moonlight was bright enough that I could recognize the other wolf.
Eros.
Ashley growled and launched herself across the clearing, straight at Eros. Her teeth bared; claws outstretched.
Eros didn’t defend himself. Instead, he shifted back to human form, far more vulnerable and defenseless.
Ashley stopped dead. She licked her lips and growled, flicking her tail back and forth. Her ears were plastered back on her head. She was pissed!
Eros stood still, a calm look on his face.
“Ashley, are you really going to kill me?”
