~A banshee wail in the distance sent chills down my spine. Kharisprotectively placed herself in front of me as the threat of the ghostly holler breathed through the trees, causing the leaves to shiver.

~Knight extended a hand to me and I reluctantly took it, gingerly stepping into his embrace. My nostrils filled with his scent, sweet and tart, a minty musk I couldn't place. He didn't smell like an elf, although, I wasn't sure how they smelled. Like cookies?Cakes? Either way, Knight was more masculine than I expected. Maybe it was his shapeshifter side making him the Alexander Skarsgard of elves.

My attention returned to the tree as the sounds of stretching rubber and cracking wood emerged from the shifting oak. My eyes widened and Kharis leaned back as the oak tree changed its shape. It slowly separated from itself to form an archway in its center. A soft, gold flickering hue emitted from inside a newly formed doorway and Knight now stood to the side, his head bowed.
