The Dark Of Twilight (Twilight Shifters Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
And then she heard the baying dogs in the distance. They would be upon her at any moment. She struggled again, but the ropes were too tight. She screamed and strained against them, but it was futile. She hung her head forward and began to cry in fear and frustration. She looked back up again. No, she would meet this death bravely. She would face it unflinching. And then she felt the ropes begin to move. She looked behind her. Finn! It was Finn! She would have cried his name aloud, but the gag in her mouth prevented her. The ropes fell and he pulled her away, leaving her to remove the gag as they ran. There was a shallow river and Aein and Finn splashed through. The sound of the dogs still followed after. "Lars is leading the group upstream. Remember, we only need to stay ahead of the werewolves until the dawn." "They took my sword. I cannot protect anyone," Aein said. Finn looked back and gave her a sparkling grin full of life. "Then we run." And so they did. Upstream through the water. She could not imagine that the sound of them splashing through would not alert the dogs which direction to head. Then Finn grabbed her arm and hauled her up the bank. She slid in the mud, desperately trying to find a toe-hold. It almost seemed as if Finn's strength as an animal was beginning to bleed into his strength as a man.
