His Involvement

[Elise’s POV]

I rush forward while Rosco’s inaudible yells drift past me. As I move, I can hear a commotion taking place right where I’m heading, and by the time I reach them, I find them—three men working to break the lock of my piece-of-shit father’s cell.

“No, you don’t!” I growl, peeling off my clothes so I can shift.

At my words, two of the men turn and pull knives from their sides while their buddy continues what he is doing.

‘So they’re human.’ Anna huffs in amusement. ‘They should be easy to take care of.’

‘Don’t underestimate the enemy.’ I counter, knowing damn well that even though they could just be humans skilled in sword fighting, they could also possess some other abilities or have some tricks up their sleeves.

Baring my teeth, I let a snarl rip through me before I’m moving forward, testing my theory.

Letting out a yell, the two men move as one, swinging their weapons at me. However, before they can hit me, I leap backwards.
