Ally's Snippets April 14

I have another snippet for you!

Last week I gave you a peek at the beginning lines of the unedited version of Burning Both Ends, the third book in the Guardian Witch series. Today's snippet is from that same unedited manuscript and occurs a few minutes later. (If you missed last week's snippet, click on Ally's Snippets in the sidebar.)

Ari and Andreas are walking home through Goshen Park after an evening of training.

I hope you enjoy the snippet!

     She suddenly halted, leaving her last thought unfinished. Her skin prickled with sudden awareness of an approaching Otherworld power, and she dropped into a defensive crouch. Andreas' body stilled beside her. Whatever inner radar warned him, they were on synchronized alarm systems.

     A fox-colored wolf trotted into view, a small taupe bag attached to his neck. He paused, gave them a brief doggie grin and disappeared behind a bush. Ari and Andreas relaxed. They knew that grin, even if  the wind at their backs had pushed away his familiar scent. A few moments later a red-headed man in his early thirties stepped out of the woods. As he walked toward them, he shrugged into a gray t-shirt to match the faded jogging shorts.

     “That’s the only real inconvenience about this werewolf thing,” Steffan complained, clipping the now empty bag to his shorts, “having to carry your damn clothes around with you.”
