wanted to claw out the
furiously beating heart of that delicious human Enforcer and devour
it. Rogues usually started by catching strays and eating their
beating hearts. Devouring a live heart gave rogues a fix of added
strength and power, and gave them a high. It was like being hooked
on drugs. More was never enough. From killing small animals, the
rogues soon hunted humans and paranormals in order to rip their
hearts out of their chests while they were still alive and screaming,
and eat the quivering, convulsing hearts.
The rogue wolf wanted Charlotte's heart.
The rogue would eat Lucas's heart too, but the rogue
knew that Charlotte was the easier prey.
From the corner of his eye, Lucas caught a sudden flash
of silver, like lightning. He saw Charlotte move towards them with a
silver dagger raised in her shaking fist, a look of pure hatred on
her face.
The rogue wolf gave a deep growl of satisfaction at her
approach, as he slackened against Lucas. Lucas turned his head
sharply to warn her away.
“ Out of my way!” Charlotte hollered and
charged.
The rogue wolf struck at the same time.
The black wolf opened its jaws and lunged at Lucas's
throat.
Lucas reared up, his massive paw and claws slashing
down. The black wolf collapsed and skidded across the floor like he
had just been hit by a wrecking ball.
Charlotte ran at the black wolf, her knife poised for
the kill.
But the rogue had already pushed himself up and was
waiting for her.
The black wolf crouched, preparing to pounce.
Charlotte didn't slow down. Shrieking like a banshee,
she kept charging, running straight for the rogue.
“ For Charlene!” she yelled.
As she plunged her blade down, aiming for the rogue's
heart, the black wolf shot up like an arrow, his claws and deadly
jaws flying towards her soft, pale throat.
Lucas darted forward and knocked her away with his
shoulder. She flew back and landed on her rump with a loud “oof!”
She sounded pissed, and some choice swear words confirmed it. But
she wasn't giving up. In an instant, she was back on her feet, and
hurtling towards them with her hackles and both daggers raised.
“ Die, monster!” she screeched.
He hoped she meant the rogue.
The black wolf rose to his full height and growled—with
pleasure. The rogue wolf was staring at Charlotte with undisguised
hunger and anticipation. Her pink lips were twisted in a scowl and
her green eyes were shining with an intense, blazing light. She
looked deadly—and delicious.
The rogue took a running leap towards Charlotte. In a
flash, Lucas threw his entire weight against the rogue. The two huge
wolves slammed into the far wall, and cracks could be heard as bones
snapped and dislocated.
Fangs and claws sliced through fur and flesh. With his
claws sunk deeply into the rogue's shoulders, Lucas clamped his jaws
hard over the black wolf's twisting neck. The rogue wolf's neck
snapped, and his head lolled back. Lucas dropped the black wolf at
his feet and stepped back slowly, watching the wolf partially shift
back into human form.
“ Get out of my way!”
Charlotte galloped up, shooting Lucas a resentful look
as she passed. Without delay, she stabbed the silver blade straight
into the rogue's chest, pushing the silver deep into his heart.
When she withdrew her knife with a grunt, the patches of
black fur shimmered and started to shed from the skin of the rogue
wolf, leaving him in his shrunken human shape. His body rippled and
disintegrated into ashes.
A breeze blew through the warehouse, scattering the
vaguely human shaped pile of black ashes. There was nothing left of
the rogue wolf.
Lucas turned to take a good, long look at the beautiful
and feisty Charlotte Cole. She was breathing heavily, her eyes
following the swirling ashes for a moment before darting to him. She
narrowed those emerald eyes at him, her expression unreadable.
Lucas took a step forward, and she pointed two silver
daggers at him.
“ Who goes there: friend or foe?” she
