Tangled
Chapter 77
77 Ava: Running
The haunting howls of wolves echo through the night, sending fear deep into my soul.

The strange shifter with the drugs curses under his breath. “They’re on the hunt,” he says, his voice low and urgent.

The weight of his words settles over me, and I realize with a pang that he knows–he knows I can’t shift.
I swallow hard. How long has he known?
It isn’t as though it was a secret in our pack.
But it still hurts.
