EDEN POV
My jaw ached. My gums burned. My bones pressed too close to my skin, desperate for a shape I still could not take.
I was not girl.
I was not fully wolf.
I was the thing trapped between.
Blood and fury.
Claws and fangs.
A verdict with teeth.
The world narrowed.
No walls.
No sirens.
No prisoners.
Only scent.
Only prey.
The corridor blurred gold.
My claws lengthened until they scraped the tile.
Aiden stepped toward me.
“Eden?”
I snarled so hard every pack member behind us fell quiet.
I hated the look of hurt on his face.
I wasn’t snarling at him.
Never at him.
But I could not any words out. I wasn’t yet able to shift in my form but I was more animal than anything else right now.
Thane shifted the little girl in his arms and looked at Aiden. “Get them out.”
Ai
