Tangled
Chapter 77
77 Ava: Running
The haunting howls of wolves echo through the night, sending fear deep into my soul.
I shudder.
The strange shifter with the drugs curses under his breath. “They’re on the hunt,” he says, his voice low and urgent.
Lucas‘ arms tighten as he runs. It’s not the most comfortable, with all the jostling, but he manages to run while holding me as though my extra burden
doesn’t affect him at all.
How long has it been? Hours? That he’s maintained his pace without faltering. I can’t help but admire it, even
as I worry.
“It’s going to be okay,” he murmurs, his tone cold with
determination.
We pick up the pace, the shadows of the forest
seeming to press in around us as we hurry along. The howls grow louder, closer, sending icy tendrils of fear slithering through my veins.

Lucas just growls. “Not an option.”
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.
