The forest thinned as I ran, and the scent of wet earth faded beneath the sharper bite of asphalt and metal. The city lights flickered through the trees ahead, broken up by branches that clawed at the sky. My paws barely touched the ground. The shadows coiled around my limbs, tightening with every stride, feeding my muscles and sharpening my senses until everything around me settled into clean, sharp focus.

I didn’t slow down. The hunger inside me hadn’t completely faded after the last wolves. I’d only been satisfied for a short time before it deepened again, settling lower in my gut. There was no rage, only purpose. The difference didn’t frighten me, and even if it had, that fear would have been muted along with everything else.

My ears twitched. Something shifted behind me. Two wolves, smaller than the ones I’d left behind. Their careful steps were hesitant as they tracked me. They didn’t understand what they were chasing.

I veered left, slipping deeper into a pocket of dense trees just before the forest gave way to the street. My shadows stretched ahead of me, spilling across the ground like smoke. When I slowed, they swallowed me completely.

The first wolf burst through the brush seconds later and skidded to a stop, his nostrils flaring, his head swinging left and right. His confusion scented the air. He couldn’t scent me or see me, but maybe he could feel me. Magic had roared through my blood since I ambushed the first hunting group.

The second wolf joined him, and they paced in a tight circle, their hackles raised.

I stepped forward, my shadows moving seamlessly with me. My paw struck before the first wolf even realised I was there. My claws ripped across his throat, the force sending him crashing into a tree. The second wolf whined and then lunged blindly, but I twisted, clamping down on his shoulder. Bone cracked. He howled, but the sound cut short when I slammed him into the ground and drove my claws into his chest.

He went still, and the hunger eased again, just a little. My breathing was still steady when I released him and stepped back. The shadows coiled from my paws and soaked into the blood pooling beneath them, darkening until the bodies almost disappeared. The darkness pulled inwards, like it was drinking. Feeding. Power roared through my veins so quickly I became lightheaded. It vibrated, energising me from the inside out. I’d never felt so much magic inside me before.

The shadows rolled back to me, and the hunger eased some more, but it still wasn’t enough.

The bond stirred.

I lifted my head in the direction it was pulling me. Hunter. He was closer now, moving somewhere in the city. The pull between us had tightened, tugging at something buried beneath the cold focus that had taken hold of me. But I ignored it and turned towards the city.

The road stretched ahead of me, and streetlights hummed faintly. My paws barely touched the asphalt, and the shadows shifted again, thickening around me in a way they hadn’t done before. Cars passed in the distance, but no one slowed down. No one looked in my direction. I wasn’t just hidden in the shadows, it felt

like I didn’t exist at all.

This was new.

It wasn’t just strength; it was control and precision. I could feel every thread of the darkness around me bending to my will, responding more instinctively to my thoughts than the night I’d broken through at Mal’s. Like the power had always been mine, and now I’d rightfully claimed it.

The bond tugged again, sharper this time. My ears flicked forward, and I slowed. I stepped into an alley between two buildings with my senses on high alert. The smell of garbage and damp concrete filled my nose, but beneath it was something else. Wolves. There were several nervous ones waiting nearby.

They were between Hunter and me. Was this a trap? The thought didn’t panic me. When I stepped forward, three wolves emerged from the far end of the alley, blocking the exit. Another dropped from the fire escape behind me. Their eyes glowed in the dim light, but they moved cautiously. They were uncertain.

They sensed something wrong, like the other two wolves, something unnatural in the air.

The first lunged, missing me by several feet. Then he turned and lunged again. I didn’t move until he was inches away. The shadows exploded outwards, wrapping around his legs and yanking him sideways. He slammed into the wall, cracking the brick with the force of it. Before the others reacted, I moved, slicing my claws through the second wolf’s flank. He staggered, and I spun, my tail striking the third hard across his muzzle.

The fourth came from behind. I felt him before he touched me. My shadows surged, forming a barrier that absorbed the impact. I twisted beneath him and snapped my jaws shut around his throat.

The alley fell silent. My hunger receded again, replaced by the same deep satisfaction.

Hunter’s presence pressed closer. The connection brushed against my senses, like he was testing our link.

Memories flashed through my mind-his words, the forced bond, the wall I’d slammed between us-but the cold inside me sharpened again, cutting away the warmth trying to rise through the bond. My hunger was already gnawing at me again, and the thought that I might never be fully satisfied crossed my mind.

When I stepped out of the alley onto the street, the air felt charged. The city loomed around me, somehow darker than before, and the scent of something bitter and decaying hit my nose. Somewhere in the city, magic lingered faintly. My ears twitched, and I raised my head, scanning the rooftops, the windows, and every shadow around me.

The bond vibrated as it flared. Hunter was very close.

My paws were silent on the pavement as I slowed, and my shadows tightened instinctively, swallowing even the faint glow from the streetlights. The trace of magic in the air pulled me across another street until I slipped into a narrow park lined with skeletal trees.

He was there. Even muted, I felt him before I saw him, a steady darkness that mirrored my own, brushing against my senses. He stood beneath a tree, covered in shadows, yet I saw him clearly. Red eyes were fixed on me, and tension radiated from his body.

“You shouldn’t have come out, Kitty,” he said. I heard the raw desperation in his voice, even if I didn’t feel it. “It’s not safe right now.”

The words didn’t mean anything to me. Not safe? I wanted to see who Hunter thought was a threat to me; maybe my hunger would finally be satisfied. He stepped forward, and I noticed how dense his shadows were. They were stronger. They were mine. Without me commanding or even thinking about it, our magic

intertwined faintly, almost like it was feeding.

My wolf towered over him, close enough to feel the heat of his body. When the bond surged this time, it was insistent, its warmth trying to break through the wall I had in place. His hand lifted slowly, and I bared my teeth.

I didn’t feel anything when he froze or when pain flashed across his face.

“I don’t know why this is happening to us,” he whispered, “but we need to go somewhere safe.”

There was movement behind us. We turned at the same time to see six large wolves emerging from the treeline, spreading out as they blocked every exit. They were covered in a faint red haze, like the one Justin had over him. That bitter scent of magic intensified. Was this the threat Hunter warned me of? They were alphas, but something in me told me I could take them.

We moved at the same time. Hunter didn’t bother to shift as he struck left, his shadows snapping around two wolves, slamming them to the ground. My shadows reacted differently. The violet-eyed, disfigured wolves returned, formed on either side of me, one after the other. I was one wolf, yet they had formed a whole pack for me.

The whining started before we even moved. Terror bloomed in the air. Hunter and I didn’t coordinate, but the bond rippled with something, and our movements flowed together. I struck, and he cut off the escape routes. He drove them inwards, and I intercepted them. He slammed into them, and I caught them, sinking my jaws down hard. My shadows mirrored everything, ripping through them with a violence that thrummed

Within seconds, all the wolves had fallen.

Hunter stood across from me, not even breathing hard, his eyes still locked on me. The bond still rippled, stronger than before, warmth pushing through the cracks. For a moment, the wall wavered.

Then the ground trembled.

A heavy aura rolled over the park, crushing the air, almost suffocating me as it slammed into me. It was stronger than anything I’d ever felt before, even when I fought the dark magic.

Hunter’s magic snapped towards the street just as a slow clap echoed through the darkness.

“Well,” a deep voice said. It sounded calm and amused. “That was impressive.”

A figure stepped from the shadows beyond the trees. He was tall and broad, and power radiated from him in waves that made my hackles rise. Hunter growled low in his chest as he put himself between the newcomer and me.

The man smiled as he said, “I was hoping to meet you both together.”

The bond shook violently. My shadows rose higher, responding instinctively, the phantom wolves forming again at my sides. Hunter’s darkness surged to meet mine, and the air between us thickened as the stranger’s aura pressed harder.

For the first time since the hunger took hold, unease slipped through the cold focus deep inside me.
