Chapter 23


    Chapter 23


    They studied him, fully aware that he was an Alpha. The medium sized wolf tilted its head, pacing to


    the right. The other, going to the left. The biggest one, who I assumed was Draxyn, remained in the


    middle, eyes narrowed down on me.


    “Leave!”


    Alpha Thompson bellowed to me without turning. He was breathing hard, his body all scratched up with


    pieces of flesh torn off. The three wolves quicklyunched at him when they realized he was stalling for


    time. Taking all of them at once, he pushed his body forward, hands grasping at any part of their bodies


    before hitting as hard as he could. He managed to push one off, the smaller of the three sniveling at it’s


    broken rib. They didn’t waste any time before lunging toward him again, catching his arm in one jaw


    and his right leg in the other. Alpha Thompson groaned, frigidly trying to tear his arm out of the wolf’s


    mo uth. He kicked at at the wolf, trying to shake it off.


    Scrambling to get up, I sprint toward the exit of the pack territory. I didn’t wait to hear the increase of


    growls heading toward our direction. The ground shook under me.


    The rogues called for reinforcements.


    Panting out loudly, I rushed down the small hill and nearly tripped in the process. I was so close to the


    gate when somethingrge collided into me. I yelped, my hold on L slipping as she fell to the other


    side of the ground with me rolling over the grass. I winced in pain, the arm Inded on broken and


    throbbing with hurt. A moment of haziness washed over me. My head going woozy as I tried to focus


    my vision by blinking a few times.


    I raised my head, trying to see what had crashed into me only to fall silent. Draxyn stood there in his


    human form. A smirk was in ce as he walked ever so slowly toward me in mock. I hissed, forcing


    myself to move. My arms wobbled when I tried to push myself off the ground only to be mmed down


    when Draxyn’s foot pushed on my back. When I resisted, he pushed harder. I could feel my bones


    cracking under the weight of his foot.


    Augh pulled from his lips. Deep, croaky and full of amusement. Tilting his head to the side with a


    cocked brow, he sighed exaggeratedly before winding his leg back and kicking me in the side. I felt a


    bone shatter inside from the impact. A huff of air forcibly kicked out of me. I coughed, my stomach


    twisting in agony as my body took on a curled position. Blood trickled down my m outh. Iid on my


    side, my arms going over my stomach protectively when I noticed L sitting on her knees staring at


    me with misty eyes. Cuts adorned her face, arms and legs. The fall had hurt her far more than I


    thought. She sat therepletely scared and confused on what to do.


    She just stared at me in question.


    Draxyn noticed my attention elsewhere, curiously looking in the direction i stared at and froze at what


    he found. He turned back to me, a sinister smile stretching across his face as he strode over to L. I


    could feel my mo uth opening, my voice finding itself to scream out “no! Stop! Leave her alone!” but he


    didn’t. Using my forearms as a grip, I desperately tried to crawl toward her but it was toote.


    L screamed as Draxyn bent over to grab her by the neck roughly. He held her up like she was


    weightless. Flickering my gaze to his other hand, my eyes widened at the ascending

    wsing from the tips of his fingers. A whimper broke out from me, my wolf growing loud in my


    ears but unable to do anything. I could feel my eyes water, my heart raging on in panic at what was to


    come. Draxyn gave me onest nce, his eyes holding mine, and he smiled.


    Then as quick as he did, he punctured his ws into L’s stomach, ripping a line down her flesh. She


    screamed hauntingly, tears running down her cheeks as her face contorted in unmeasurable pain.


    Eyebrows pressed together, lips parting widely, body convulsing from the damage she took. Her blood


    bled into her shirt, staining the fabric damp. She gurgled, choking from the grip Draxyn had around her


    neck.


    I felt my ws extending, my fur starting to bristle out. I still couldn’t shift but my wolf was desperately


    making an attempt. She went against reality, trying to wedge herself in the seat of control. I see her


    throwing herself against my walls. Head smashing against her barriers in brashness. Her rabid, feral


    snarls resonating in my head as her ck eyes glowed lividly. It was suicide. I could d ie from the


    overwhelming stress burdening my body. I no longer had control of my emotions. They spiraled out,


    willing my wolf toe forth to wreck havoc on all who dared to hurt us. I knew the chances of dying


    were high, but if it meant saving L, I was willing to go through with it.


    The same thirst for blood I felt over the man who had pinned L under him returned with the same


    intensity. My blood pumped with desire to see him bleed, eyes seeing red as my body moved on its


    own ord. With a cry, I hurled myself up, throwing my body in his direction. I elbowed him, getting


    him to let go of the little girl before stumbling back over his feet. Angry eyes searched wildly for the


    source as they fell on me. He growled, muscles taut in rage.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
