A sharp rock dug into Anders’s ankle. He reached down and grabbed it. His hold on the werewolf was tenacious, but he managed to hold on, wrapped his arm around the werewolf’s throat in a chokehold, and jabbed the rock against the neck before he could shove Anders into another tree.
“Shift, or I’ll kill you right now.” The rock wasn’t sharp enough to slash his throat open, but a few blows to the temple would accomplish it just the same.
The werewolf howled, and Anders ended up having to slam the rock against his temple once anyhow. If there were other foes in the vicinity, he couldn’t have them all descending on them.
Another blow, and the werewolf whimpered. Anders rolled off of him, and the werewolf shifted to his human form. Blood dripped profusely from his temple, but his eyes were clear enough.
Anders stalked around him. Light flitted through the branches, making the stars shine from the tattoo on his back. Try as he might, he couldn’t recall this Shadowed Star. Too much time had passed.
“How many other spies are there?” Anders growled.
“A prisoner.” From the shadows to their right, a figure emerged. Talon. He nodded to Anders. “I would like some words with you. Both of you.”
Gritting his teeth, Anders had no choice but to allow his prisoner to now be Talon’s. I did all the work. He gets all the glory.
And the girl.
