Chapter 15
“You can’t let him go off like that! Tom!” Mary complained all the way back to the car, half out of breath. “Sean—can you just leave someone you claim to love? I didn’t want to believe people like you were shallow—”
Sean unlocked his car.
“Get in,” he said, and passed the key to Tom.
“My god, it’s a wolf, isn’t it? How can you be so cold?”
“Lock the doors behind you,” said Sean.
He tried to ignore Mary, but she wouldn’t get in the car. Instead she pulled herself up to her full height and glared at Sean, livid.
“You will never get me to drive off and leave my son to be torn apart by a wolf.”
“Please,” said Sean, concern growing as Roderick howled again. “Just get in the car. It’s safer.”
He knew it was a lie. If this really was Roderick’s ghost, a car wouldn’t stop him.
