Chapter 13
The wolf has always been nice to me.
There have been plenty of nights when Aaron will shift and it’s
this big, ferocious beast that nestles next to me, his head in my
lap to sleep.
“I always did like you better,” I tell him.
He barks happily.
Gradually the forest lightens, and I aim toward the break in
the trees that will bring us to the edge of the ravine.
I’m not sure why Aaron shifted or why he’s following me. Maybe he’s worried I’ll try to leave?
I’ve been thinking about it, for sure.
But that sort of thing takes a lot of planning and after my last doctor visit venture, the security is
especially tight around the
main house.
The cliff drops off and below is a long stretch of river. If I stay on the path, several miles south of here,

I hear the wolves before I see them.
They stalk out of the woods. Four of them. Not quite as large as Aaron but still big. Their maws are

teeth showing. Dark fur rippling as they move.
Aaron’s wolf looks at me.
Then his huge form moves in front of me, physically blocking
me from this threat.
I suck a breath.
There is nowhere to go.
His body morphs until he’s part man, part wolf and far more
powerful than both.
Aaron doesn’t wait. He lunges at the lead wolf, his claws digging into the flesh of the animal before
hurling the
creature over our heads and off the cliff.
