Untamed Fate (Magic Side: Wolf Bound 2)

“And Sam, no sleeping tonight. The sorcerer is hunting for wolves, and

none of us can risk it. We’ll take shifts tomorrow during the day if we have

She nodded. “We got the memo. What about Savannah, though?”

I frowned and growled low. It was a fucked situation, but we didn’t have

Why she would wish to tie herself to another’s fate was beyond

understanding, but it was none of my business.

I stepped very close, so my shadow fell across her. My voice was low and
