Untamed Fate (Magic Side: Wolf Bound 2)

We cowered and began to back away over the grass as my wolf’s fear

entwined with my own.

This was not Jaxson. It was a monster out of legend.

We backpedaled, then darted left beneath the legs of the elephant statue

with no destination in mind.

Jaxson snarled and chased. He was past us in a second, and with a few

deft moves, he cornered us against a giant statue of a seated goddess with an

urn on her head.

The silver wolf growled, and I understood the meaning, almost as if it

was speaking in my mind: Submit.

Screw that! my wolf and I thought at the same time.

We jumped up onto the statue’s lap, and when Jaxson stalked forward, we

leapt into the air and landed on the grass behind him. We ran blindly, pushed

by fear and the desire to run.

that was listing to the side. Then Jaxson was on us, trapping us between the

house and the terrace wall.
