Chapter 26 Who Was She?

Theodore I didn’t have to turn around to know that the leader of this merry band of rogues was probably perched on top of the carriage. I turned around before she could throw her dagger before the rogue could leap and let out a snarl that shook the air, filled with magic, and pulled out my chained dagger. Time seemed to slow as the wolf started to leap away, back toward the incline to escape– afraid, but not afraid enough. I hurled the dagger in my hand, aiming to ensnare him. The blade sliced through the air, looping around his neck and catching. I pulled the chain tight, cinching the loop. The hook in the dagger dug into his fur. The wolf howled in pain and thrashed in the air before hitting the ground. It pulled and clamped down on the chain but howled as the chain burned it.
