First, they killed my parents. So, I did the most rational thing at the time. I ran. Now I find myself at crossroads, as I am being hunted by werewolves in an unfamiliar city, and I had to weigh up my alternatives, both unappealing. Neither option had any sense of hope for me.

“Aleera, stay with me, love,” I call to her as my magic falters after getting hit with a blast of air. I scan my surroundings as my flame walls suddenly encase us, and
