Alpha Kane
The transformation had always been easy for me, even the first time. I met Zeke's wolf's gaze, and an unspoken understanding formed between us. We would go where the battle was fiercest, to the thickest and bloodiest place.
Time seemed to slow as Zeke and I raced through the crowd, dodging werewolves and striking them. Zeke howled as his claws slashed through a brown wolf's chest and neck, nearly decapitating him.
The pungent scent of blood filled the air within seconds, and every werewolf's body lying on the ground was a wound in my chest.
"Kane?" Zara's voice filled my mind, causing a wave of power that tore through the huddled crowd of brown wolves. "Where are you?"
I groaned inwardly, but I'd expected it. Some part of me hoped Zara would show common sense and seek refuge with Sophia and Govinda. Somehow, I knew she would come and fight.
She wouldn't abandon me, just as I wouldn't abandon her. It filled me with both love and irritation.
