Thornton the Wizard nodded. He had told Holly to run the moment she saw the Lord of the Wolves. Now, her scent from the adjacent room was faint, and he guessed only the Lord of the Wolves was in there.
His eyes flew open as a sudden thought struck him. 'If Holly isn't in the next room, then where could she be!?'
"Crap!" Thornton the Wizard's face tensed, and his rabbit ears shot up. "Holly's gone!"
All the other wolves were so frightened their ears and tails popped out—all except for Mia Thornton.
Mia Thornton gave the wolf ears on Vincent Thornton's head an exasperated look. "She isn't... Holly is right next door."
Thornton the Wizard twitched his nose, sniffing the air coming from the next room. He was certain Holly's scent was growing fainter. He stared at Mia Thornton, puzzled. "Her scent is getting very faint."
