Nina

Luke and I were carefully winding through the country roads in my truck, chatting casually about the baby when we saw it. Up ahead, something darted across the road, pausing just long enough for the two of us to get a good look.

A yellow-eyed wolf.

"There!" Luke suddenly shouted, pointing to the fleeting glimpse of the large wolf darting across the road. "It's that bloody wolf!*

Its fur was a mottled gray color, almost ghost-like in the waning light. I realized, then, that I had in fact seen this wolf before. I had seen it on the night when I had left the hospital after Claiming Jessica.

There was no time to waste. Whether this was a spy of my father's or not, I was determined to catch it; it had, after all, nearly caused one of my best friends to die in a car crash. And she would have died, too, if I hadn't Claimed her at just the right time.

I slammed my foot on the accelerator, the engine roaring to life as we surged forward. The old pickup truck groaned and jostled us as it tore down the bumpy road, kicking up a cloud of dust in our wake.

"Hold on!" I yelled over the din of the engine, adrenaline surging through my veins.

Luke braced himself against the dashboard, his gaze never leaving the wolf. "Faster, Nina!" he cried out. "The little shit's getting away!"

He was right; the wolf was incredibly agile, moving effortlessly through the terrain, its muscular body weaving between trees and leaping over obstacles. And yet, all the while, it stuck to the side of the road, occasionally slowing down just to pick its speed back up again once our distance closed a little more. It glanced back at us, its yellow eyes glinting like two small flames in its sockets.
