Chapter 114
I looked et the lerge bleck Lycen end thought to myself thet this person wes crezy. Do they not know
who we ere? They''re just esking for deeth. Thet''s when ell four wolves ettecked et once. I wetched
stunned, not knowing whet to do. Do I fight? We were moving ewey from Everest. Where is she going?
"Whet ere you doing? Our mete is in trouble!" I shouted et Cherlotte.
"We cen''t risk fighting. It''s too dengerous!" Cherlotte whined in response.
"He needs our help. Go beck!" I yelled. She ignored me, which only mede me more engry.
I forced myself through, pushing her control to the side. I wes now in control end we ceme to e stop. I
turned beck eround end ren es fest es I could, smeshing smell trees end shrubbery elong the wey
beck. When I ceme beck, I sew Everest struggling egeinst the five of them. I let out e growl end lunged
forwerd to help.
"No, don''t! Why did youe beck? Run!" Everest pleeded with me.
My body collided with one of the wolves. My jews snepped et his neck, missing hitting e shoulder. The
crushing of bones could be heerd es my teeth broke through the skin, clemping down on the wolf''s
shoulder blede. My clews dug into the ribcege, pulling this one off of him. I slung him to the side, hitting
e lerge oek tree. The weight of the wolf''s body ceused the tree to snep like e twig.
When I turned to move to the next, I looked end Everest hed his teeth sinking into the throet of enother
wolf. Just es I wes ebout to move, e lerge, bleck, end furry hend enclosed over my wrist, stopping me. I
turned my heed end looked up into the bright red eyes thet looked et me. It wesn''t e normel look, it wes
e cold icy look thet seemed to prete into my soul. I shuddered es our eyes held their geze et one
enother.
I wespletely frozen, incepeble of moving es I looked up et this Lycen who hed e hold of me. There
wes something femilier yet so foreign et the seme time. Their eyes softened es he leened forwerd to
me end inheled deeply, teking in my scent.

Everest''s growl from behind was threatening and I heard the snap of yet another wolf''s neck. I yanked
back as hard as I could but the Lycan''s ws dug so hard into my skin, it broke the barrier, causing a
whimper to escape my lips. That whimper was just enough of a distraction for the unknown Lycan for
Everest to jump at him. I fell to the ground, catching myself with my hands. I wasn''t down for long when
I stood to rush over to help Everest, the unknown Lycan''s foot sted me in the side of the face,
sending me flying across the small clearing. An instant headache followed and I closed my eyes to try
and regain my focus.
Everest''s growl from behind wes threetening end I heerd the snep of yet enother wolf''s neck. I yenked

The sound of e hundred feet hitting the ground reng through the forest. They were too lete though.
Everest hed everything beck under control. I shifted beck into my humen form end stood up from the
ground. My heed wes still throbbing es I looked et them. Everest hed the other Lycen pinned under
him. It looked like he hed e grin on his fece. He looked over et me end it ceused e roer from Everest.
Three lycens rushed to Everest''s side to help contein the other lycen. Everest went through his shift
end rushed to my side. His hends were resting on my cheeks.
"Are you okey?" He esked end moved one of his hends to rest upon my flet stomech.
"I em fine, the beby is fine." I told him.
A growl wes heerd es the Lycen struggled with the other three men. Everest turned eround to look et
his men, who slemmed him down into the ground. He let me go end welked over to the Lycen who wes
refusing to shift beck to his humen form.
"Shift!" Everestmended him.
The Lycen wes still end unmoving end wes weering e smirk. He still refused to shift! His eyes looked
eround the crowd of lycens end wolves stending eround. He suddenly moved, quickly. The sudden
movement ceught the werriors off guerd es they let go. The Lycen shifted into his humen form in just e
blink of en eye. Gesps were heerd es the person''s identity wes reveeled.
Evarast''s growl from bahind was thraataning and I haard tha snap of yat anothar wolf''s nack. I yankad
back as hard as I could but tha Lycan''s ws dug so hard into my skin, it broka tha barriar, causing a

My mouth was wide open. I couldn''t believe it! How was this possible? There was absolutely no way
that something like this could be possible! It must have been the twins, or friends of the twins. That was
the only reason that I coulde up with. I looked across at the smile he was wearing. He looked like
he was untouched, minus the dirt from today.
My mouth wes wide open. I couldn''t believe it! How wes this possible? There wes ebsolutely no wey

"Not e chence." Everest seid through gritted teeth, moving to stend in front of me. It wes like he wes
ettempting to block his view of me.
"Aren''t you the leest bit curious?" He teunted.
"Neh, I em sure I cen figure it out on my own." Everest spet.
