by T. F. Walsh
I lunged toward the empty passage. The wulfkin snagged the back of my jacket, trying to drag me into the woods. I tripped and fell onto my backside.
A shot exploded.
I crouched, my arms covering my head.
A crack and then a hollow thump resonated nearby.
No pain meant they’d missed. I leapt to my feet, but the wulfkin now lay crumpled alongside me, blood pouring from his thigh. He pulled himself upright, groaning.
The officers advanced, and more sirens squealed in the distance.
My mind swam in nausea. Crap. I forced the wulfkin to lean against me as we hobbled quickly into the woodland. A bullet whizzed by, the heat of it brushing across my lower back, barely missing me.
Charging straight through the strip of woodland, we came out on the other side of the highway, managing to cross before a caravan of trucks. Safe. Cover. Perfect.
The wulfkin felt sluggish against me, missing steps and losing blood fast. Thankfully, the pouring rain would wash the blood away and cover our tracks.
My mind screamed to return for Nicolai, but I knew I’d never get near him. He'd be taken into custody. A court date could be months away. The full moon was soon—just over a week away. Then he’d transform into a moonwulf in front of humans, who’d kill him. We were both in so much shit right now. Tears mingled with the rain on my face, but this was no time to cry.
