Looking at us, the wolf growled and took a few steps back. Then, with a long, lamenting howl, he turned around and ran back into the woods.
Spencer, are you okay?
She raised her red eyes at me.
Can you hear me?I asked.Please let me in.
Crap, crap,I heard her confused thoughts.Let him in. How do I do it? How do I make him hear me?
You already did,I replied with amusement.I can hear you, Spencer.
You can hear me?She stared at me, and I watched her red eyes as they turned a brilliant blue with a glowing silver ring around her pupils.
Yes. I hear you perfectly.
She moved even closer, and I could feel her rapidly beating heart.
Finn. Finn,I’m alive.
You are.My heart pounding, I brushed my cheek against her warm, soft fur.I’m so proud of you.
My eyes watered from the joy and sorrow in equal measure for my Spencer, who almost died right in front of my eyes from excruciating pain, bleeding out from her torn flesh as she fought her fate. And who was strong enough to survive the torment of the curse that was meant to kill her.
I don’t remember much after I shifted. Did I hurt anyone?She asked timidly, like she was afraid to hear the answer.
You might have taken a bite from Liam.I replied humorously, as I turned to look at him.
Did I? Oh. Liam, I’m sorry.
Hey, you are the heir of the Great Alpha now. I would wear that bite mark as a tattoo if I could. But unfortunately, I can feel it healing.
Congratulations, Spencer,I heard James's gleeful thoughts.You fought it through.
Thanks, guys.
James, how close did he get to the house?I asked.Is it possible that he heard Clare’s chanting?
No. I made sure of it. I kept him behind the river. And . . .James hesitated.I know I shouldn’t start a fight, but I did take a bite out of his throat when he tried to get closer. If he found out that we were using magic . . . You know? I had to stop him.
He knew what he was getting into when he trespassed the territory,said Liam.
James, what about you? How badly did he injure you?I asked.
It’s nothing. Just a scratch on the leg.
I heard Spencer’s low growl.He’ll be okay, Spencer. How are you feeling?
I feel great. But Mom must be worried. We should probably head back.
Before we do.I was too excited, and I wanted to have a moment with her.How about that first run together?
Since there’s no way in hell I’m doing this shift thing again in the near future, I think we should.
Have fun. We’ll tell Clare that you’re fine,said Liam, and he and James took off, heading back to the house.
