Elias moved faster than anyone could see. One moment he stood beside Aurora, the next he had Dylan pinned against the wall, claws pressing into the traitor's throat.
"Who sent you?" Elias growled, his eyes glowing a dangerous gold.
Dylan laughed, blood trickling from his mouth. "You're already too late. The Crimson Sage has waited centuries for this moment."
A scream erupted from down the hall. The distraction was enough for Dylan to slash at Elias's arm with a hidden blade. The Alpha jumped back, growling in pain.
"Protect Aurora!" Elias shouted to Tina, before chasing after Dylan who had broken free and was running down the corridor.
Tina rushed to Aurora's side. "We need to move. Now."
"What about Marcus?" Aurora asked, glancing at his unconscious form.
Rosie stood, her face determined. "I'll stay with him. Go!"
