Evence just gave a simple shrug about her wound being re-opened, tossing the blanket on top of Merek. "No it's for you. You forgot your coat and this was the first thing I could grab," she answered. Standing up straight, she froze an eerily familiar scent was blown towards her in the wind. "Merek, I need you to get up and shift. The castle is only a mile in front of us, we need to get there as fast as possible. Do not turn around for any reason or slow down either. Im not that much slower than you," she said quietly, shifting back into her wolf form.<br/><br/>Wincing slightly, Evence gave a heavy sigh as she remembered her shoulder. 'Though with my shoulder wound I might just be slower than I think.' She thought to Merek through the Mind Link. Once he was shifted, Evence nodded for him to go first before she took off after him. It was the same wolf from the night before. As she had suspected, he had never truly left. Trying her best to keep up with Merek, she could feel the blood starting to run down her leg, staining the snow red. Noticing Merek slow down to make sure he stayed with her, she growled a little bit and pushed herself harder. The outline of the castle was becoming visible in the distance just as the black wolf leapt out of the woods, right on their tails. 'Merek do not turn around, keep running. We'll make it to the castle before he catches up.' she told him, nudging his shoulder so he would run a little faster. Evence pushed herself to run harder as well, only yards from the castle gates. The castle gates started to open as they saw their King running toward the castle.<br/><br/>The black wolf leapt for Evence but she threw up snow into his face, blinding him as they skidded into the safety of the castle walls. The guards rushed out to meet the black wolf, keeping him from getting inside as the gates closed. Locking the black wolf and the guards out, but keeping Evence and Merek safe on the inside. Panting heavily, Evence looked back at the black wolf, narrowing her eyes as they caught each others glare. Then the pain in her shoulder grabbed her attention as she lowered herself to the ground, giving a soft groan of pain as her body started to tremble. "Merek help me inside," she requested, trying to stand back up but not even succeeding in that arena.<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>Rose couldn't help but laugh as Zane gave her that perverted smile of his. Leaning down into the kiss, Rose made Zane fall back into the couch as she kissed him sweetly. "What would you like for breakfast?" she whispered against his lips.
