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 quickly launched 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 something large collided into me. I yelped, my hold on Lila slipping as she fell to the other side of the ground with me rolling over the grass. I winced in pain, the arm I landed 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 place as he walked ever so slowly toward me in mock.

A laugh 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. I laid on my side, my arms going over my stomach protectively when I noticed Lila 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 there completely 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 Lila. 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 too late.
