Astrid and Zahur filled me in on what I had missed during the walk out of the subway tunnels. The wolves’ structure was in tatters. The city had taken massive damage, not to mention the loss of life.

Zahur grabbed my arm and pulled me back. Not understanding, I kept the ball of lightning in my hand. The male finally stopped next to his gargoyles. Square jaw and high cheekbones. Cold, blue eyes watched.
Atticus moved in front of me. “Cyrus.”
