[ Old worlds - exactly where Orion was tackling Kieran]
"NOOOO!!!Orion, stop!"
Autumn froze.
She had no problem catching up with Kieran but the sight and smell that met her… drowned her in horrors.
The sound had hit her first…the wet, tearing growl of flesh ripped apart…the crushing thud of bodies colliding… until the view came into plain sight.
Orion's massive wolf form, jaws locked deep into Kieran's throat and shoulder…his crimson fur slick with Kieran's blood.
But he lay beneath Orion…very still…his body convulsing in the agony of a torn shift and the assault.
Why the hell wasn't he fighting back?!
Autumn's eyes widened. Her legs buckled even though she was slightly levitating off the ground. For one breath, she could not move at all.
Then her throat cracked.
"Kieran… "
The gasp ripped from her lungs like it was breaking her open from the inside… however it was met with no answer.
"KIERAN??!!!"
The whole forest trembled with her scream.
