messy.
His attention moved to Sahale. The young man was now a striking gold and black striped tiger. Powerfully muscled and fearsome to behold. If Chogan had still been a man, he would have smiled. The wolves and the strange leopard who seemed to watch over them didn’t stand a chance.
He hated that he’d left Madison and Billy as long as he had. There was no more time to waste.
Chogan lifted his head to the sky and let out a long, mournful howl.
The two young wolves immediately stopped their antics and faced the forest, their hackles raised.
Centering the strength in his muscles, Chogan bounded forward, Peter and Sahale at each shoulder. The wolves saw them coming, but the leopard held back.
Chogan caught sight of Madison’s eyes widening in terror. His heart sank. Of course, she didn’t know he was a shifter. In her mind, this was simply more giant predators coming to tear her and her son limb from limb. He wished he had some way of reassuring her, but he had more immediate problems to deal with.
The gray wolf with the scar snarled at Chogan. He didn’t give the other wolf time to attack. Instead, he leaped, crashing into the wolf with a tumble of fur and snapping teeth. Their growls echoed around the deserted freeway.
They rolled on the asphalt, snapping and snarling. The other wolf was weaker than he was; he sensed it in every movement the animal made. The scarred wolf fought back, but Chogan was a dominant creature and he would make the younger animal submit.
He pinned him down on his back. His jaw opened and he locked his teeth around the other animal’s throat, fur thick against his tongue. He growled a low, threatening growl and the other wolf whimpered.
Chogan didn’t want to kill any more. There had been too much death, and the thought of killing one of his own—a wolf like Blake—made his stomach turn. He allowed his focus to turn to the others for the briefest of moments, making sure they didn’t need any help. Peter and Sahale circled the other wolf with the stealth and magnificence of the two big cats, making the wolf appear no more than a naughty puppy in their center.
He checked for the leopard, but saw no sign of the other big cat. It must have slunk off into the forest when they attacked. Chogan didn’t like it. What was the other shifter up to?
But he didn’t want the wolves to slink off to wherever they had come from. He wanted answers from them, and more than that, he wanted them to apologize to Madison.
He released the young wolf’s throat, allowing him to roll back to his feet, and then shoved him with his shoulder, pushing the other wolf toward his buddy. Peter and Sahale made way, allowing the gray wolf to join his friend. Chogan joined Peter and Sahale in surrounding the two trouble makers.
He let out a yap, lifting his nose to signal the wolves’ bodies. They exchanged a glance. Still held within the circle of Chogan, Peter and Sahale, the wolves began to shift back. Chogan waited until the shift was complete.
Two teenage boys huddled on the asphalt, their hands held self-consciously over their dicks as they shivered in fear.
Chogan shifted back, his teeth clamped down against the agony. Though vulnerable, he knew Peter and Sahale had his back. Within minutes, he stood before them as a man. He was only vaguely aware of Madison staring in fascinated horror from the car window.
“Who the hell are you guys?” he demanded. “And more importantly, who was the leopard?”
One of the young men sobbed. “We’re no one, man. We were just having a bit of fun.”
Chogan aimed a kick at him. “By tormenting a woman and child? Who the hell are you?”
“No one.” He squealed like a pig as Chogan kicked him again.
“Bullshit.”
“Okay, okay.”
He delivered another kick, not hard enough to do any damage, but hard enough to hurt.
“Owww, stop it, man,” the guy whined.
“Not until you tell me who he was, and then you’re going to apologize to the lady and her
