Aden lunged with his powerful back legs, springing forward to wrap his forelegs around the other man. He tried to fight, kicking against Aden’s legs and struggling as hard as he could. It was almost enough to break the iron band of Aden’s grip. Almost. He spun around to the window and his huge form blocked the silver moonlight and cast a deep shadow over Darren. The next moment the room was filled with the high pitched sound of breaking glass.

Darren ducked to avoid the flying shards. The man’s scream pierced the night, and for a second, it looked like Aden was going to leap through the broken window to go after him. He didn’t. He stood amidst the broken glass with his paws up on the sill, leaning over in order to peer outside.
