Extract:
The words didn’t have time to register. A surge of power manifested in the room, and Chase let out an almighty roar, one as far from human as could be found. After that and what had happened to Jason, everyone froze.
My mouth ran dry. Nobody else knew how that noise had managed to come from Chase’s throat, or what it meant. I did. Dad kept his body in front of me, but it didn’t block my view. I watched in morbid fascination as Chase’s biceps bulged under pressure, and beads of sweat formed on his tanned skin. His face contorted with the effort, as the chains groaned and bent. I’d known he was strong but oh my God… those links were made of solid metal.
It took seconds for him to break free of the restraints, making it obvious he’d been playing nice until now. Ridges of flesh rippled along each of Chase’s arms, leaving fur in their wake. It looked as though he turned inside out and flowed into his tiger form in one smooth motion. Just like at the pond, there was no visible effort, none of the pain were-tigers should have felt.
Chase’s gargantuan form stood protectively over Jason. He roared again. This time the sound rivaled that of the entire angry mob just moments earlier. It echoed through the building and drove the wall of pack members back several feet.
Not a single person looked ready to take him on. I knew some of them still had guns, but his ability to shift between moons and the way he’d done it so seamlessly, was nothing short of a miracle. After the horror of seeing Kyle shoot Jason, nobody dared move.
From somewhere outside, another roar shattered the silence, followed by two others. All three white tigers burst into the garage and the people parted to let them through. They came to stand with Chase, communicating with grunts and growls. Every single one of them would have dwarfed any of the tigers in our Pack. Feeling overwhelmed, I wrapped my arms around Dad.
“Did you know they could do that?” Dad asked quietly, unable to take his eyes off them.
“Yes,” I answered, unable to say more.
