Chapter 675

Madeline:

After planning everything with him and telling him he needed to wait before we took any further steps, I decided to return to the cabin.

To be honest, Byron’s condition was really bad, and I was worried about him.

But as soon as I emerged from the woods and stepped onto the mountain trail, I heard voices behind me.

“There she is!”

It sounded as though a group of people had been lingering nearby, probably ordered by Elgin and the others to look for me.

An arrow flew straight at me.

I spun to the side and caught it in my hand.

When I looked at the people, they all gasped.

I threw the arrow back, and it struck one of them.

Then I realized running wasn’t an option.

There were too many of them. They were coming from every direction.

So I decided to shift into my wolf form.

I was no longer hiding her. If anything, I was proud of her.

But the moment I tried to shift, they started throwing werewolf bombs at me.

That’s when I realized why some of them were wearing those strange outfits and masks.

They were protecting themselves from the bombs.

The others, however, were simply there to distract me and hide the true plan.

They started coughing alongside me.

“Lena, can you still shift?” I asked.

“I can try, but there are too many of them,” she replied. “If they get any closer, I can still fight them, as long as there aren’t too many.”

I understood what she was trying to say.

It was unfair of me to even ask that question when she had been bombed by wolfsbane.

I dropped to my knees, coughing and waiting for the fog to clear, but they threw

another bomb at me.

Then another.

I grabbed one and hurled it back at them.

They all screamed in terror, but it wasn’t enough.

Then an arrow shot through the fog and struck my shoulder.

That’s what happens when the whole world is against you.

It becomes hard to fight, even when you’re the strongest warrior.

I quickly pulled the arrow out.

Unfortunately, I used too much force.

The silver tip remained embedded in my shoulder while the rest of the arrow snapped.

“Ah,” I groaned, digging my fingers into my shoulder while still on my knees. “Step away from her!”

Then a familiar yet unfamiliar voice reached my ears.

It felt as though I had heard it before, more specifically its scream, but I couldn’t place it.

Then, through the fog, I saw her standing there with her men behind her.

“Nala,” I guessed, finally remembering the rogue girl Baxte and I had saved months ago.

“Let’s show these suckers that rogues aren’t to be messed with!” she screamed, pointing toward them.

Suddenly, the attack began.

They went all out.

I saw that there wasn’t just one rogue with her. There were ns.

Meanwhile, she lunged toward me, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling

me to my feet.

“Come on, let’s go,” she said, coughing as the fog affected her too.

My condition was worse. I still had a silver tip embedded in my shoulder.

“Where is your place?” I asked.

Of course, if that many people were living together, they had to have somewhere to

stay.

“It’s far away, but it’ll be fine. If I have to, I’ll carry you in my arms.”

She was trying to reassure me, but it wasn’t that simple.

“No. I have to go back to my cabin,” I said, refusing to leave with her.

“Wait. Is it because of your children? I heard they were taken away from you.”

Her eyes softened at the mention of my children.

She hadn’t spent much time with them, but she was still more

considerate talking about them

than

their own fathers had ever been.

“It’s not that. I have a friend who’s very sick. He’s at the cabin. I need to get these herbs to him, said, pointing to my pocket.

Her men were thrashing the attackers, killing them without mercy.

I didn’t try to stop them.

If anything, these people deserved what was coming to them.

But Nala hesitated, staring at the sky as it grew darker.

“The monster won’t hurt you.”

That was all I needed to say when she smiled at me.

Somehow, we still understood each other, even though we barely knew one another.

“Okay,” she replied.

I was feeling much drowsier now.

She took my hand, and together we started toward the trail.

“If you want to fight, then keep fighting. My men will never get tired. They were born and trained for this.

But if you want to leave, then fuck off” she yelled. FindNovel.net

Soon, the pack members and warriors who had come after me started to retreat.

“Come on, let’s go,” she called to her men.

They immediately fell into step behind us.
