'Silver Wolf..."

The rogue, his eyes flashing maniacally, took a step toward me, gnarled hands outstretched. I could scent him from where I tood a few yards away-he smelled like rotten teeth and scorcheil earth. knew instantly that he was indeed a rogue, likely from Coldclay, I could smell it all over him, see it in the wild look in his

in his unkempt hair and tattered clothes. When he smiled at me, he was missing a tooth right in the front.

My heart pounded in my chest as I took a step back, the snow crunching beneath my feet. "Stay away from me," I warned, but my voice trembled, betraying my fear.

'I won't hurt you, my sweet," he cooed, ignoring my warning. "I've been looking for you for so, so long. You will be my bride... Together, we will bring Coldclaw to glory. I'll treat you so good-I promise."

I swallowed hard, taking another step back. My back pressed against the hard bark of a tree, and I sidestepped around it, never taking my eyes off of the rogue.

"I'll scream." I growled. "My mate will come and kill you."

The rogue sneered, revealing that toothless gap again. "But you strayed too far from your mate, didn't you?"

Before I could answer, the rogue suddenly lunged forward, his dirty fingernails reaching for me. I turned and ran, my feet slipping on the icy ground. Pine branches whipped at my face as I sprinted through the forest, my breath coming in short, painful gasps. The cold air burned my lungs with each inhale.

I could hear the rogue crashing through the underbrush behind me, gaining ground quickly; despite his haggard appearance, he was fast. Faster than me.

Panic surged through me as I pushed my legs to carry me faster, My wolf lent me her strength, and suddenly the forest became a blur. But even then, the rogue never lost ground, the gap between us never widening.

"Come back, my bride!" he shouted after me in between fits of manic laughter. "I won't bite!"

I screamed and scrabbled m**lly for Edwin along our mate bond, but the rogue had been right.

I had walked too far into the forest. Edwin couldn't hear me or feel me.
