Elias Storm raced through the forest, his silver-gray fur blending with the morning mist. His heart pounded with each leap, each bound taking him farther from the Nightfang territory. The howl he'd released still echoed in his mind.
He hadn't meant to reveal himself. For three days, he'd tracked Serena, staying downwind and hidden. Seeing her transform into that magnificent black wolf had shaken him to his core. The rumors were true. She truly was an Onyx wolf.
And she was more powerful than anyone could have imagined.
When dawn broke, Elias shifted back to human form and dressed quickly in the clothes he'd stashed in a hollow tree. His tall frame moved with the grace of a born Alpha as he made his way to the meeting point.
"Well?" A voice came from behind a large oak.
Elias turned to face his Beta, Marcus Reed, a stocky man with sharp eyes and unwavering loyalty.
"I found her," Elias said, his voice tight. "She's with Lucian Draven."
