Darren went still at those three simple words. His face held no expression at first, but when he turned away to retrieve his briefcase, Katey felt the same paroxysm that radiated from Logan, come barreling from Darren. The empathic vibes were dizzying.
“We’ll meet back at the house,” Darren said as he joined them at the door. “I’ll tell the others. Keep Katey out of sight.”
The three entered the hall, leaving the classroom unattended.
“What’s going on?” Katey demanded, wrenching her hand from Logan’s grasp.
“I’ll explain when we get home,” Logan replied. “If there’s a home to go back to.”
Katey’s eyes went wide. “What do you mean? What’s happening? Who was that guy?”
Darren looked up and down the hall. “There’s no time to tell you everything right now.”
Katey stamped her foot and dropped her book bag like an obstinate child. “I’m not going anywhere until someone tells me what’s going on!”
Logan moved in front of her, consuming her entire field of vision. He held her face in his powerful hands. “Katey, one of the things I love about you is your stubbornness, but you’re going to have to give that up for just a few minutes. We have to get out of here.”
Darren had already left them and was practically jogging down the hall with his cellphone pressed against his ear. Katey looked behind them as she heard the sharp tips of nails scraping the tile floor, almost lost in the din of shuffling feet.
Logan grabbed her hand and swept up her bag onto his shoulder before pulling her toward the nearest exit.
“Can you talk while you walk?” she asked, still lagging a bit.
Katey nearly tripped over her own feet as soon as he spoke. The reality of their fear finally hit.
Hunters. Loup-garou hunters.

About the Author
Sheritta Bitikofer is an author of eclectic tastes. Her mornings are spent dancing to Frank Sinatra and singing to hard rock bands while sipping on a good Cinnamon Dolce Latte from Starbucks. At work, she’s often found without shoes on or running to get her coworkers’ drinks from Sonic during happy hour. And when the day has been hard, she unwinds with a good book and chili cheese fries before snuggling on the couch with her husband. And on some weekends, she can be found at non-profit medieval historical society events either painting or shooting a bow. Her idea of a great time is dining out, chillin’ at the library (or a bookstore) and bouncing novel ideas back and forth with her loving and supportive husband.
