Violet The rogue wolves snarled, their fangs bared as they barreled towards us. “Brace yourself!” Theodore yelled. I dug my heels in to the bench and grabbed something. The wolves slammed against the sides of the carriage. I could hear the guards crying out and the sound of the steam engine crea
“We’ll keep an eye out. Anyone with medical supplies, check on the fallen.” One of them turned. “We need to get him back toward the carriage,” I said, nodding towards the guard who was leaning on one of the trees, panting and bleeding from his side. “Violet, cover me.” She said nothing, but
Theodore I didn’t have to turn around to know that the leader of this merry band of rogues was probably perched on top of the carriage. I turned around before she could throw her dagger before the rogue could leap and let out a snarl that shook the air, filled with magic, and pulled out my chained
