: Killer Astridâs Fear coursed through body when I realized that this wasnât a simple attack. Someone ordered these werewolves to attack me. Who ordered them to kill me and how did they find out that Iâm here?
I held my breath and turned to my side when the werewolf tried to claw on my neck to go for an instant kill.
Adrenaline rushed through my body knowing that I merely escaped death there.
I pushed myself backward when the other werewolves started to appear one by one. They growled at me and bared their canines as they approached me like a predator.
I used my trembling hands to search the dirt around me. I tried to look for a rock or anything that I could use to defend myself from the werewolves who were trying to kill me.
I cannot die. If I die, my child will lose his chance to experience life. I donât want to be such a bad mother to him.
I stopped and my breath turned more fast and shallow when my back touched a tree. I also panicked when I did not find anything available near me that I could use to defend myself.
Having no escape, I could only close my eyes and raise my arms when one of them finally lunged for the kill.
I waited for the impact to happen, to experience the immense pain before life was taken out of me. However, that did not happen.
Out of nowhere, another werewolf jumped in and bit the other werewolfâs neck in midair.
My eyes went wide as I watched how the huge black wolf tore a chunk of flesh on the werewolfâs neck which killed him instantly.
The other werewolves who came to kill me started to back up when they saw. what happened.
My savior, the huge black wolf, slowly turned around and faced the remaining artackers with his Their to lower as they him, realizing that they couldnât such a huge and powerful wolf by themselves.
sizes are nothing compared to the black werewolf who came to save me He could easily eat them for lunch and even dinner.
black wolf snarled as he turned to attack them. However, they instantly ran away, easily giving up.
I placed a hand on my rapidly beating heart I closed my eyes and thanked the heavens for being safe.
âAstrid, are you okay?â
I donât know how long Iâve been sitting there with my eyes closed and trying to calm my nerves. When I opened my eyes, Drystan was already in his human form, standing in front of me still with traces of blood all over his body.
âWhat happened?â Someone suddenly arrived, stealing both of our attention.
Nova had a frown on her face as she walked towards us. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw a lifeless werewolf lying near us.
âAstrid was attacked,â Drystan answered her as he lent a hand to me so I could get up.
âWere you hurt?â Drystan asked me worriedly as he turned back his attention to âIâm fine,â I replied weakly. âYou arrived before they could hurt me.â
Drystan stared at me with his brows pressed together. He looks like he is blaming himself for what happened to me.
âLook at this â Nova spoke up, calling our attention. She went to check on the dead werewolf while Drystan was talking.
âDoesnât this look familiar?â She asked again.
Drystan and I approached her and took a look at the part where she was pointing at.
At the paw of the dead werewolfâs hind leg, there is an imprint of a moon that is like silver.
When I saw it, I was no longer confused. Itâs the Silvermoon Pack,â I answered.
Drystan stood in silence knowing exactly what it meant.
I scoffed bitterly when I realized that my exâhusband just didnât want to get rid of me. He also wanted to kill me. Thatâs how much he hates me.
Drystan clenched his fists to his side. If looks could kill, the dead werewolf would die all over again.
Nova stood up with annoyance etched across her face. âI canât believe this!â she burst out. âKillian is so heartless! How could he ask someone to kill his own wife and child?â
Nova shook her head. âI cannot allow this. I must teach Killian a lesson.
I looked at Nova with surprise in my eyes. I thought she didnât like me, but when she saw me suffer injustice, she was too determined to avenge me. 2 I guess Nova has a pure heart. She also has a heart for the weak and the oppressed. No wonder why everyone likes her back in the Pack.
âWait,â Drystan grabbed Novaâs hand to stop her when she suddenly walked away.
I didnât realize that Nova meant to avenge me now until Drystan had stopped her. It turns out, that Nova is a selfâwilled person.
âWhy donât we use this thing to our advantage instead?â Drystan asked us.
Nova and I looked at him, willing to hear out his suggestion. âLetâs just announce that Astrid died. We might as well just let Killian misunderstand that youâre dead so he wouldnât try to kill you again,â Drystan suggested with his eyes on me.
