Ivan
I ran.
Cars sped past me, and I didn't care. Let them see the impossible giant wolf running on the highway.
Nefra's dying.
How?
'She was fine when I left,' that's the thought that kept coming back with every mile I crossed. 'A stupid ring! I left her side for a stupid ring!'
That's the only thing that changed. We haven't been apart since we left the dragon's territory, and even then I'd been close to his mansion.
Why?
'I'm coming, Nefra. I'm coming!'
This is the fastest I've ever gone. The drive from the national park to the clinic took at least half an hour, but I'm making it in fifteen.
Would she be alright once I got closer?
'She's barely holding on. No matter how fast you are, you'll never reach her in time.'
'No!' Somehow I forced my body to move faster, ignoring the way my muscles screamed.
'Ivan!'
'Alpha!'
