His screams pierced the air as his wolf came to the surface and I saw his elongated teeth and claws. All around us, people rushed to the elevator and staircase in an attempt to escape.

“STUPID BITCH!” The waiter roared, and El fired a second shot at his second kneecap.

El faced us, remorse absent from her features as she sheathed her gun.

El paused, blinking profusely, and for the first time, I saw her eyes water. “They found his body.”

My heart shattered.
