The Search For Allies

Aiden's POV

I jumped from the tree above and landed in my wolf form. He ran through the woods for his life, and my wolf followed close behind. Not that I couldn’t catch him immediately and tear him apart, but I enjoyed the chase. I loved watching my victims run and beg for their lives before killing them.

I raced after him. He could’ve shifted into his wolf form too, but he was stupid. He just ran like a defenseless human. I pounced, ripping into him and tearing his head from his body. Lucas handed me a shirt as I shifted back to my human form. This was the thirteenth rogue wolf I’d killed this month.

It’s been seven years of great torture, and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. The pain reminds me I deserve all the bad things that have happened to me. Seven years since the Shadow’s attack on my pack. Seven years since my once-safe pack became a haven for rogue wolves. Seven years of trying to regain my dignity by hunting every last one of them.
