Chapter 30

I looked down to see the wolf was pressing his nose against my skin, making a tiny sound before he pushed it forward and nuzzled the side of his face against my body. I froze at the touch, knowing it was strong enough to take me down and eat me alive. The remains of Ashley’s blood were brushed against the side of my red cloak, making me sick as I could almost smell it in the air.

The wolf’s nose pressed itself against my side, and then let out a tiny moan that made me take a step backwards. He followed me with a lowered gaze, using the tip of his nose to push me in the direction he wished me to take. Oddly enough he led me back to the gravel pathway of Damian’s house, and then abandoned my side to sniff along the pathway with a curious air. I watched the large wolf move around in a zigzag pattern, occasionally looking back at me to make sure I had not escaped.
