Chapter 99

-Ava’s POV-

“Eliza, go back!” I barked, panic lacing my voice.

Before she could respond, a scream ripped through the air, sharp and piercing. My blood turned to ice as I spun around, just in time to see Eliza stumble, her phone tumbling from her hands as she shrieked.

“Eliza!” Isabella and I shouted in unison.

We turned and bolted toward her, the ground seeming to disappear beneath my feet. My lungs burned as I pushed myself faster, but then I heard it–a low, menacing snarl behind me. My blood froze as I glanced back. A massive wolf was bearing down on Eliza, its glowing eyes locked onto her as she scrambled backward, her face pale with terror.

We were trapped.

The realization slammed into me like a physical blow. My gaze darted around, searching desperately for an escape, but the wolves were closing in from all sides.

“Run!” I screamed, though I knew it was futile.

The wolf lunged at Eliza just as Isabella let out an ear–splitting growl. I turned in time to see her leap into the air, her bones snapping and reforming with a sickening sound. Her transformation was almost instantaneous, her body twisting and reshaping as her wolf emerged. She collided with the attacking wolf mid–air, the two of them crashing to the ground in a snarling, snapping heap.

“Eliza, move!” I shouted, grabbing her arm and yanking her to her feet.

She stumbled but managed to follow as I dragged her away from the melee. My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might burst.

And then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw another wolf leap over the wall. Its eyes locked onto me, and time seemed to slow. My breath caught in my throat as it lunged, its massive body hurtling toward me with terrifying speed.

This was it. I braced myself for the impact, my mind blank with fear.

But just as it was about to reach me, a deafening snarl cut through the air, and another wolf–a flash of gray and silver- collided with it mid–leap. They crashed to the ground in a tangle of fur and claws, snapping and snarling.

I didn’t have time to process what was happening.

“Go!” Isabella’s growl was directed me and I understood instantly

“Eliza, go!” I pushed her ahead, my voice cracking with desperation.

But then there was another snarl, closer this time, and my stomach dropped. I turned just in time to see three more wolves emerging from the shadows, their eyes glowing like embers.
