Shadow Kissed (Magic Side: Wolf Bound 4) - Page 108

“They’re going to cut us off, and I’m betting the Dark God will be here soon. We need to chain him before he arrives, or everything will be lost. Run!”

Savy opened her mouth to protest, but I poured my presence into her and roared, “Go!” With a hiss of frustration, she threw up a cloud of darkness to cover her escape and raced toward the tower.

Good luck, my love.

A black wolf chased after. I charged, tackling it, and holding it down. Its claws raked my side, but I gripped its neck and twisted until it snapped. The body went limp beneath me even as another attacked.

From behind, the massive wolf howled, deep and low, calling in reinforcements. Fucking hell.

We were already cornered. Sam had fought off one of the wolves but was backed up against a tree by another. I couldn’t keep track of how many there were—they kept ducking in and out of the brush.

The smaller wolf limped around her, while the silver-tinged leader stalked forward. His ears flicked back, and he growled low. Sam was a fighter, but the massive wolf wasn’t a normal shifter, that much was clear. She didn’t stand a chance against them both.

The limping wolf lunged. I met him midair, bodychecking the beast with my shoulder. He skidded through the decaying leaves with a grunt.

I looked around, adrenaline pumping. The large wolf had Sam pinned. She growled and managed to kick him off, but bright red scratches streaked her arms and face. She jumped to her feet and crouched as he charged again, jaws wide.

No.

At the last second, Sam sprang into the air. The wolf swiped her leg as it barreled beneath her, and she grabbed hold of an overhanging branch. Swinging one leg over it, she pulled herself up.

I squared off against the massive beast, but Sam’s eyes went wide. “Jax, behind you!”

An arm swung around my neck and pulled me back against a tree in a choke hold. I grunted and dug my claws into the pale green flesh, recognizing the signature of the Fae creature. I’d killed one of them last time.

She hissed and sank her teeth into my shoulder. Stinging pain cascaded across my chest, but I was more concerned with the massive wolf who was now stalking toward me.

The tree fairy had me pinned, and she was remarkably strong.

Sam dropped to the ground and started yelling at the large wolf, but a smaller one was at her throat in seconds. They were fucking everywhere.

The large wolf paused and cocked his head to the right, listening. I couldn’t make out anything other than the hissing of the fairy behind me and my thudding heart. Suddenly, he tensed and bounded into the trees, heading in Savannah’s direction.

Double fuck.

Rage burned through me, and I swung forward, snapping the fairy’s arm. A shrill screech deafened my ears, but the fairy’s hold around my neck released.

I shot forward and grabbed the hind legs of the limping wolf as it bore down on Sam. I swung the beast into the tree, then jumped on him and ended him with a swift snap of his neck.

“Holy shit,” Sam huffed as she propped herself up against the twisted trunk and cradled her arm.

Before I could respond, there was the sound of crashing trees and a blood curdling cry of pain.

My mate!
