Lily POV
The howl that split the night air made my blood freeze. It wasn't like any wolf sound I'd ever heard - too deep, too hollow, like it came from something that used to be alive but wasn't anymore.
I pressed myself against the rocky cliff wall, trying to make myself invisible as three Shadow Wolves padded through the moonlight below me. Their eyes glowed that awful bright color, but worse than that was how they moved. Wrong. Like puppets being controlled by unseen strings.
My Triple Moon mark suddenly blazed with pain so sharp I had to bite my lip to keep from crying out. The metal pattern on my wrist felt like it was burning through my skin. What was happening to me?
"She's close," one of the Shadow Wolves said in a flat, lifeless voice. "The mark calls to us."
My heart hammered against my ribs. They could sense my mark? That was impossible. Nobody had ever told me Triple Moon marks could be tracked.
