Aniya backed away, her eyes searching the room quickly for anything that could save her and her child from this beast that was determined to kill them.
The wolf matched her pace and with each step she took, it got closer.
Her hand grabbed something and she tossed it far away from them, urging the wolf to go after it, hoping to distract it.
That didn't work. Instead, it seemed to have only gotten the wolf angrier.
In a flash, it lurched at them.
She screamed, racing towards the door but she never made it. The weight of the beast knocked her to the ground, and she turned to look death in the face as the wolf revealed its canines to rip her apart.
But a rope, glowing with white light, latched around the wolf’s neck and yanked it backwards, pulling it off her enough for her to escape.
