Chapter 15
‘Hang in there, Lucy! They’re coming!’ Juan’s panicked link was evident. He himself tried to speed up his slaughter to get to Lucianne.
At the riverbank, Lucianne finally realized that this was a trap set up for her. The rogue she knocked into the river wasn’t retreating, he was leading her to the river far away from the Alphas and the other warriors. The Lycans surrounded her, eyes glazing over as they linked each other. Lucianne put a brave front but she knew the position she was in. Her chances of survival were slim. She may be able to handle one Lycan but not three at a time.
She waited for them to make a move while praying for Raden and Tate to come soon. One Lycan stood close to the riverbank, too close. And he was the first to charge towards Lucianne. Lucianne pounced just low enough to dodge his claws and held one of his legs with her canines as she flipped him with force at the boulder in the river.
A loud thud was heard, and the Lycan was definitely dead upon the impact because its friends howled in anger, and the one in the river didn’t even have the strength to scream. Like the rogue wolf before, he was swept by the strong current before hitting the same second boulder. The remaining two Lycans were growling furiously now, not that it surprised Lucianne.
‘Hang on, Lucy! They’re coming! I’m right behind them now! Hang in there!’ Juan linked in panic.
Both Lycans pounced at her at the same time, and Lucianne swiftly rolled to the side. As soon as she was up on her feet, they pounced again and she rolled away from the river, not wanting to die the same way as the two creatures she killed. The Lycans seemed to be getting impatient. Lucianne knew better than to run and waste her energy in doing so. Lycans were faster and stronger than werewolves. She came to learn that the only way to beat a Lycan was with a wolf’s agility.
Her friends were coming so she just had to hold on a little while longer.
Then, the Lycans pounced again but not directly at her. They were pouncing to her sides to surround her. Just before they landed, Lucianne leaped away but she wasn’t fast enough. One of the Lycans grabbed her by her tail and threw her against a tree. She groaned at the impact and fell onto the ground. When she was getting up, she was grabbed by her neck and tossed forcefully to the ground. She felt her bones breaking but before they had time to recover, she was once again tossed against another tree with even more force than the last.
Even with the pain, she refused to whimper. She would not give these rogues the satisfaction of hearing her cry out in anguish, even if she couldn’t stand up. Her head was leaning against the tree bark, and the Lycans were laughing menacingly as they strode towards her. When they were two steps away, they heard infuriated growls coming from the trees.
Tate and Raden pounced on them, catching them off guard. The Lycans were surprised but not for long. One of them grabbed Tate’s leg and tossed him away aimlessly. That was his mistake, tossing aimlessly. Tate fell to the ground with no injury and got up swiftly, charging towards the Lycan running towards Lucianne again. Before the Lycan reached her, Juan knocked him out of the way. Tate then continued pouncing on the Lycan and scratching him with his claws.
Juan’s black wolf looked at Lucianne’s white one with worry, concern and guilt. She couldn’t even stand
‘I’ll be okay. Help them! She linked.
The black wolf nodded, and charged at the Lycan attacking Raden. Lucianne’s bones were healing but not quickly enough for her to stand back up anytime soon. The pain was unbearable but she gritted her teeth and fought through it.
Lucianne watched the fight helplessly from the ground. She hated it when something like this happened to her. Then, she noticed the Lycan attacking Tate taking something from the ground as he stood up from
a fall. A knife! Along with it, a familiar scent was lingering in the air – the dreaded scent of silver.
Juan, get to Tate! Knife! She linked and panic coursed through her as Juan quickly ran towards Tate, confident that Raden could handle the Lycan on his own now that it was weakened. novelbin
A plain knife is not much of a concern. A stab from a clean knife would create a wound that would heal easily. It is a knife coated with silver that would be fatal to werewolves. The higher the concentration of silver, the quicker the death. If it enters the system, it must be filtered out if a werewolf wanted any chance in surviving.
Juan pounced on the Lycan, and the knife flew, dropping on the ground near to where the other Lycan was with Raden. Swiftly, the Lycan threw Raden right at Tate and Juan who was charging towards him. The three wolves fell to the ground and the Lycan who initially had the knife blocked the three wolves from getting to the other Lycan who now had the knife and was dashing towards Lucianne.
Lucianne’s heart raced but externally, she showed no fear. She still couldn’t get up. The Lycan stabbed the knife in through her side and plunged it mercilessly into her rib cage, destroying the slow progress of her bones that were healing. Lucianne gritted her teeth and showed nothing on her face. But she couldn’t help yelling in pain through her mind-link with Juan.
Juan growled furiously and ferociously as he kicked the Lycan stopping the three of them in the head, and was running towards Lucianne. But the Lycan caught hold of Juan’s tail and pulled him back towards him.
Lucianne breathed heavily to cope with the pain and locked her murderous eyes with the
rogue Lycan, who was smirking with victory. He just stood there, like he wanted to watch her die. He held onto the knife in her body, not giving her a chance to pull it out. She started to feel weaker than she
already was. If the knife wasn’t out, there was no way she could survive. But she didn’t have the strength to push away the beast in front of her right now.
I am
When she started getting dizzy, the loudest and most ferocious growl she ever heard came from a mere few feet in front of her. The Lycans looked at each other like they just heard the unexpected. The Alphas pounced on the distracted Lycan at the same time to push him to the ground. Raden kicked the Lycan next to Lucianne away.
To everyone’s surprise, the owner of the loud growl they heard entered the battlefield, along with his second-in-command.
