Chapter 67. Threat

The fog twirls and moves in the wind, and for a second, I catch a glimpse of a lone dark figure directly in front, separated by the twenty feet or so of wood, and he’s staring right at me. Full-on wolf form, black, devastating in size, claws extended in readiness and glistening in the moonlight. He’s a sight to behold on any given day, but like this, he shreds my emotions into frenzied pain that aches heavily in my chest. His eyes are still empty darkness, and his growling snarl is unmistakable to my ears. I would know Colton anywhere, no matter the distance.

He’s warning me that I’m his prey, and if this wall weren’t holding him back, nothing I could say would stop him from tearing me limb from limb. We connect for one second, a tiny fragment between my mate and me, yet I feel only his desire to kill me. Its intensity is shocking and overwhelming to my soul. I shudder, turning away with tears blinding my eyes, to shut him out and jump when I bump into Carmen right behind me.
