Chapter 381 The Wounded Wolf
Third–person POV
Finished
From the sinkhole came the furious roars of werewolves, the splashing of water, the thrashing of fish tails. The chaos was deafening.
As the dust settled, Aubrey thought of walking closer to see the carnage, but the sun had already dipped below the horizon. Darkness fell all at once, and even if she went over, she wouldn’t be able to see anything.
She needed to expel the virus in her body as soon as possible–how much longer would this half–blindness last?
She touched her shoulder. When the explosions had gone off, falling rocks had slammed into her more than once. It was surely swollen now. While no one was looking, she urged Ella to release her restrained power and speed her body’s self–healing–at least enough to keep her moving normally.
The deputy captain of the werewolf security unit, seeing the situation under control, hurried over to support her.
“Ms. Mary, you’re incredible!” he exclaimed with admiration as he ran up.
Hearing his voice, Aubrey looked up and smiled faintly. She could only make out a human shape running toward her. Then suddenly he cried out, “Watch out!!”
Terror made his voice crack. Aubrey’s body tensed instantly and she rolled to the ground by instinct-
But she was still too late. A claw pierced her shoulder. Agony seared from her back through her whole body.
The deputy captain shifted into wolf form. His arms lengthened into claws that struck the attacker flying–the one who had ambushed Aubrey from behind.
It was Cado. When he had fallen, he’d landed on a shallow stretch instead of the deeper water. Unlike the others, he hadn’t been seriously hurt. He had shifted into wolf form, leapt up by springing off the backs of his own men, and vaulted out of the pit. His eyes were razor–sharp and his movements swift. The moment he reached the surface, he locked straight onto Aubrey.
If he hadn’t still wanted to capture her alive, that strike would have killed her.
Aubrey clutched her wound and took the chance to retreat, while Cado’s muscles bunched and he fought the deputy captain savagely.

Chapter 381 The Wounded Wolf

Finished
His style was brutal. Even surrounded by more than ten werewolves, he broke through their encirclement and charged straight after Aubrey, running out of the fishing grounds.
“After him!”
The deputy captain cursed himself. With Cado’s men nearly wiped out, he’d let his guard down -only to realize Cado fought like a beast.
When he had sprung from the collapsed pit, he’d been as fast as lightning. Now, in flight, his tall frame compressed into a blur of shadow–frighteningly quick.
“Damn it… we have to catch him! We can’t let him hurt Ms. Mary!”
The night closed in fast, and Aubrey could barely see. She fled by instinct alone. But whatever Cado had coated his claws with made her wound impossible to heal. The pain only deepened.
Blood ran down her arm. Her mind clouded, but she knew her blood was dangerous. She couldn’t let it spill freely. Unable to heal herself, she couldn’t shift into wolf form–it would only make the bleeding worse. If any werewolf came into contact with her blood, they would be infected with the Kajit virus.
She tore strips from her clothing and bound her wound, adding a golden needle to stop the bleeding.
The claw had pierced deeply. This was already her third needle. The flow had slowed, but it hadn’t stopped.
With no other choice, Aubrey layered bandages over the injury and pressed forward. But without knowing it, drops of blood still trailed behind her.
She couldn’t go anywhere crowded, not with her body as it was. Yet blind in the dark, she could only run toward the light she glimpsed ahead. Fortunately, Cado too was wounded, and the security unit’s werewolves were chasing from behind. That delay bought her a little breath.
“Look there–someone’s hurt…”
