I turned back toward the sentinels.
Valentine's screams had become something else entirely. They had lost meaning as they were not words anymore. All he had going for him now was sounds. The raw, wet, and broken kind.

The command left my lips quietly, but it cut through everything. The wolves froze mid-motion, their golden eyes swinging toward me in perfect unison. One of them had its jaws locked around Valentine's shoulder. Another had been working on his ribs. They released him at the same time, stepping back with blood dripping from their muzzles.
Valentine collapsed.
