I shoved both twins behind me before my brain even caught up with my body.
The shadow wolf blocking our path was huge. Easily twice if not thrice the size of a normal wolf. Purple eyes glowing so bright they left afterimages when I blinked.
But it was the marking on its shoulder that made my blood freeze.
A totem. Carved into the fur like a brand. Three claws in a triangle pattern.
I'd seen that mark before.
"Dominic.” I muttered. "That totem."
"I see it." His whole body had gone rigid beside me. "That's from the attack. The one where my father disappeared."
The night Dominic's father vanished was pack legend. A battle so brutal that half the warriors who'd survived it refused to talk about it afterward. Giant shadow wolves had torn through their defenses like paper. And then Dominic's father had charged into the forest after them and never came back.
They'd found pieces of his clothes. Blood. But no body.
