They started talking again, calm and unfazed by the surrounding darkness and distant wolf howls.Something about them didn’t feel right. Well, they tried. He picked up the scent of blood and followed the trail. Somewhere in the North Atlantic, late 1945. Her kind deserved to feel pain.That thought arrested his steps. She looked small and fragile as she lay on the dirt. A teenager's weekend at a lake house with her father takes a turn for the worse when a group of convicts wreaks havoc on their lives. He couldn’t allow that to happen.The rest of the pack cowered, lowering their rears and bowing their heads. He needed to protect the wolves.Nicolae slowed to a trot as he reached the stony ground and lowered himself until his softer stomach fur brushed the leaf litter and rocks.

The sound of it and the message it contained soothed him and granted him relief. His past laid thousands of miles away and a hundred years ago. She lunged, trying to grab him, gasping and wheezing.

He raced to catch up, the cold air burning in his lungs and a sense of freedom flowing through him.A howl cut the night and the wolves shifted as one, turning right towards the mountain, away from the glade and the grazing land beyond. His ribs stretched and his limbs cracked back into human forms still covered in patches of fur. It swept backwards, towards his shoulders, revealing deformed fingers that pushed out into normal shapes. The only one who didn’t feel like a threat was the one who was afraid.

The leader looked thoughtful, his face shadowed and difficult to make out.Two of the men he hadn’t got a good look at earlier were in broken moonlight now, their night-vision goggles pushed up on their foreheads. He touched it, brought his fingers to his nose, and sniffed.

Nicolae stopped behind the broad trunk of the nearest tree, as close as he could get without them noticing him.Their murmured conversation masked the sound of his soft huffs. It didn’t smell animal.He rounded a tree and spotted something in the clearing ahead.The timber wolves broke out of the woods on the other side to Nicolae, heading for the body. The distant howl that had alerted them to the presence of the hunters had been a scout. He wasn’t sure what sort of weaponry they had, but with the goggles, the men already had the advantage. He’d been on the receiving end of a few charges in his lifetime. The smell of the night soothed him and his pulse began to level again, his blood no longer blazing in his veins.Nicolae looked up at the moon through the trees, needing to see it and see that he was free.

The hunters had tried to kill her. He looked deep into the alpha’s eyes, communicating with him alone. There was nothing in the world as exhilarating as surrendering to his true nature.Animal sounds filled his ears, undetectable to the humans who lived in the rugged mountainous region of Canada. None of the others looked as though they were about to doubt him.Nicolae sniffed, trying to catch a scent on the chill air. He had seen such faces before, in his past, on merciless killers that were acquainted with death and cruelty, and revelled in it.Nicolae slunk further into the shadows, battling dark splintered memories that branded his mind with horrific images of violence and bloodshed, and seared his body with fierce pain. He was Canadian at least. He could smell it now, sharp and coppery, coming up from the valley.A bolt zipped past him, thudding into a tree barely inches from his nose. He placed his palm against her forehead. If he left her, it would plague him and he would regret it. His bones popped and body twisted, the black fur on it slowly disappearing as he transformed back into his normal form.
He fell forwards, breathing hard, clawing the dirt into his fists and holding on.

Referring to animals as female was nothing new to him but it didn’t sound as though they were hunting bear or deer. Were his suspicions correct and they were after the wolves?Nicolae looked down towards the valley. She had probably used the last of her strength fighting him.Was he really going to do this? The alpha didn’t move.
