scent of another wolf. Her hackles instantly rose and a low growl escaped her as she turned.
    Stepping out from behind a tree not more than fifteen feet away was a wolf she’d recognize anywhere.
    Theron! Unlike Dell, Theron had never even attempted to hone his ability as pack Alpha to communicate telepathically with the members of his pack. He claimed it was childish and beneath him, but Kya knew he was too ignorant to know how to properly perform the feat. Either that or he was too removed from his pack to actually have any type of bond with them.
    In his wolf form, Theron stepped out from behind the tree, his all white fur blowing in the wind as he smiled wickedly at Kya. He dropped his head and pulled his lip back baring his teeth at her.
    Kya too dropped her head, sneering at her tormentor. She knew he hadn’t traveled all this way, facing the wrath of the great North American pack, just to take her home. Theron was here to kill her.
    Well if you think I’m just going to roll over and die, you’re a fucking idiot. After years of torment and humiliation, Kya had finally had enough. If I’m dying today, I won’t go down without a fight! She circled to her left growling at the much larger white wolf.
    Theron’s eyes rounded in amazement and he seemed to smile at Kya’s gall before he dropped his tail and attacked. He went straight for Kya’s throat. Luckily, she suspected his first blow would be a death strike and she pulled her head to the left at the last second. Theron’s teeth skimmed her throat. He coughed out her fur as he continued to circle.
    Her adrenaline racing, Kya didn’t even feel the blow as Theron rushed her and landed on top of her rolling her onto her back as he snapped his teeth at her face. Kya kicked with all her strength, but she only managed to shift Theron’s weight off her. He didn’t go flying into a nearby tree as she’d hoped. She was just too small and weak and she knew it, but she refused to give in to him. She turned her head and bit deep into his shoulder as he howled in pain.
    Jumping back, Theron gnashed his teeth at her as he eyed his bloody shoulder.
    Kya quickly got to her feet and licked her lips, smiling at an extremely pissed Theron. Kya took a step towards him and Theron winked at her then threw back his head and howled.
    Tilting her head in confusion, Kya’s feet halted. Well that’s new. Before she could react, three other wolves stepped into the fray. Her old pack.
    Kyler and Tyler were brothers and undeniable idiots. They followed Theron simply because they didn’t know what else to do. They were brown wolves and were comparable in size to Theron. Reiner on the other hand was a different type of wolf completely. The large red wolf was Theron’s right hand and was certifiably psychotic. He often beat Kya at Theron’s bidding and he took great pleasure in doing so…too much pleasure.
    As the pack circled Kya, her heart nearly thundered to a halt. Her cavalier attitude from minutes ago was gone, replaced by sheer terror. The pack circled, with Kyler and Tyler nipping at each other in excitement as they often did when the scent of her fear lingered in the air. Reiner inched closer, expressionless as he simply stared at her, waiting for the order from Theron. This scene was all too familiar. Theron smiled at her, his trap unfolding just as he’d hoped.
    For the briefest of moments, Kya considered running. If she ran back to Dell, his pack might put up a good fight against Theron’s beasts. I couldn’t bring this mess to their door.
    Reiner leaned back on his haunches ready to spring.
    “You must be Theron.”
    The startled wolves all turned at the unexpected intrusion as Dell stepped into the clearing from the woods.
    Reiner retreated to Theron’s side as Kyler and Tyler tripped over each other to run and hide behind their Alpha.
    “Well… Theron , I’d welcome you to my forest, but you’re not…welcome that is.”
    Reiner stepped forward sinking low and
