“Enough of the torture,” my wolf said, whimpering in my head. I could feel how she was hurting as well, sharing my pain. “Just enough, Aleli. Or you might never heal from this.”
I stood up and was about to leave the bar when someone screamed.
“Rogues!”
I stiffened, while everyone around me started panicking and running for cover. Then the windows shattered, and the sound of growls filled the air.
