Lycan's Prey by Jessica Hall

Chapter 15

My mind instantly goes to thinking Rhett has caught me for half a second. I tense up as I’m forcefully pulled into a nearby alleyway. I let out a shaky breath when I realize it is not him, but someone else. However, that relief is short–lived when I see the angry look on his face.

The man’s appearance is intimidating–tall, broad, and covered in tattoos–and he’s accompanied by a group of equally scary–looking men, all dressed in black with strange emblems on their shirts. I swear I’ve seen those symbols before, but I can’t place them. Their auras are stronger than I would have expected, even for warriors, and it’s odd, given that I have alpha blood running through my veins.

The man’s grip on my arm tightens as he leans in and sniffs me, his hot breath sending shivers down my spine. I stare at him with wide eyes. “Who are you?” he demands, his voice low and dangerous. Goosebumps instantly rise on my body as his aura washes over me.

“I–I’m just passing through,” I stutter, trying to pull away from him. But his hold only tightens, making it clear that he has no intention of letting me go anytime soon.

“Passing through? To where?” the man growls. “What brings you to our town?”

“I… I have family here,” I reply, hoping that will satisfy him and make him release me.

But the man doesn’t seem convinced.
