Chapter 181
I get a split second to hear answering howls in the distance-Roberts pack members and the few guys I
brought with me from the Rathbom pack-before the enemy wolves descend in a rush of snarling,
glowing eyes and bared teeth.
I’m smaller than them, but I quickly realize I’m also faster.
I dodge snapping teeth and raking claws, but there’s too many of them, and eventually I have to fight.
I go low, clamping my jaws around a leg and biting down until I feel bones breaking. I lunge at another
and bite its underbelly. But they’re circling and the next wave, I’m forced to defend more than attack
because they are coming at me three at a time.
I bite and slash, kicking out and clawing.
My limbs are an endless fury of motion, slashing and tearing, never stopping lest they get a hold of me,
and by sheer numbers, I’ll
be overcome.
I’m in survival mode, thinking of nothing except doing whatever it takes to stay alive.
I hear a vicious growl, and another wolf comes streaking out of the woods.
At first, I think even more enemy wolves are attacking, but this new wolf I don’t recognize-huge, silver,
with darker fur around his muzzle and ears-begins attacking the wolves who are trying to hurt me.
He’s vicious and relentless, tearing through the other wolves at inhuman speed, and for the first time I
think I might actually survive this.
A wolf snaps at me, catching me on the shoulder and I can’t help but yelp.
The silver wolf-face and chest now covered in dark crimson blood-lunges toward me and savages the
wolf that had sun
into me. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
In another few moments, the wolves who aren’t already dead seem to finally get a hint that they’re
outmatched, and turn tail, fleeing into the woods.
Almost as soon as they’re gone, I shift back, panting, feeling nauseous at the blood spattered all over
me.
At how close I came to being killed on my own family’s landa.
In the distance, I can hear the howls of the Roberts and Rathborn wolves getting closer.
They’ll be here within moments, but if not for the silver wolf, they would have been too late.
I would have already been dead.
A few seconds later, the silver wolf shifts as well, and the man straightens, covered in even more blood
than I am.
He turns to face me, and my heart drops into my feet.
I can’t believe it.
“What are you doing here?”
