Chapter 296: Chapter 296
Then we die running, my wolf snapped, furious and wild now, her voice shaking the way the earth was shaking under my paws. We die on our feet, Lyra, not in chains, not in their teeth, not screaming on the ground like prey, so run faster, faster, faster, until the moon itself can’t keep up with us!
And then it happened—one of them lunged, a dark blur out of the corner of my eye, and slamd into
so hard it felt like the whole forest turned upside down.
I hit the ground so fast and so hard my teeth clacked together, dirt flying into my mouth, my body twisting under
as pain tore straight through my ribs, and before I could even move, before I could even gasp, I was shifting back, my wolf ripping away into nothing as my body snapped back into human form because of course the universe wanted to make this worse by leaving
half-naked and shaking in the dirt like so pathetic prey animal waiting to be slaughtered.
"Get away from !"
And then he shifted.
The wolf. The one who had knocked
down. His body snapped and twisted until there was a man standing over , tall and broad and furious, one of the n who had co out of the bushes and when he smiled it wasn’t right.
"So you’re Alpha Damon’s mate,"
"Pretty little thing, aren’t you? Do you know what your Alpha did to ? To my family?"
And he didn’t wait for
to answer, didn’t even look at
like a person because his eyes were full of years of hate.
"He killed my wife. My daughter. My son. He slaughtered them, do you hear ? Burned everything I loved to ash just because I betrayed him to another pack, and then he threw
out like trash, banished
like I was nothing. Like I hadn’t given my whole life to that pack before I made one mistake.
And then his eyes went darker.
"But guess what," he said, leaning closer. "Your Alpha can’t save you. And I get to put every bit of pain he gave
right into you."
"Get up, Lyra!" my wolf scread inside my head. Get up right now, fight back, don’t you dare let him touch you again, get up before he kills us both!
"I can’t," I sobbed out loud, my whole body shaking. "I can’t even feel my legs, I can’t breathe, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t.."
His boot slamd into my stomach so hard I couldn’t even scream at first because the air ripped out of my lungs all at once, then I was gasping and choking and curling around the pain like it might protect
from another blow because it felt like my whole body was on fire now.
"Ahhh! Stop! Please!" I scread, tears spilling down my face. "My pups! Please, don’t, don’t, please!"
And then his head tilted like he’d just heard the best news of his life.
"Your pups?" he said with a smirk, his voice curling like smoke around the words. "So you’re pregnant. Perfect. Your Alpha killed my babies, so I’ll kill his. Seems fair, doesn’t it?"
He drew back his leg again, gathering himself for another kick, one that would have shattered
completely, one that would have ended everything, but I grabbed his leg before it landed, my hands shaking but locking around him with everything I had left because he wasn’t touching
again, not my babies, not tonight.
"Stop!" I scread. "Do not hurt my pups! Do you hear ? Not one more kick, not one more finger on , not on them!"
And I didn’t know what was happening to
because my whole body felt hot now, like there was fire under my skin.
"You seem to forget. I am your Luna. I am stronger than you think."
I pushed myself up even though my arms were trembling, my vision swimming, my heart smashing itself to pieces, and he just smirked again, lowering his face toward mine like he thought I was bluffing.
"Say hi to your babies in hell," he whispered.
"No," I spat right in his face. "It’s you that will say hi to your baby girl for !"
And then I moved before he could even blink. One hand locked on his leg and yanked it open so hard he stumbled, and the other with claws ripped his dick off cause apparently he was naked.
He went down instantly, clutching himself, blood pouring over my arms as I shoved him back, his eyes going wide with shock because he had no idea I could hit that hard, that fast.
"Do not ss with a pregnant Luna,"
Just when I thought I won sothing hard slamd into the side of my head so fast as I fell to the ground.
I hit the ground with my claws scraping uselessly into the dirt because I couldn’t catch myself.
My vision went spinning.
The trees turned upside down,my ears ringing so loud I couldn’t hear anything except my own heartbeat.
Then I heard it.
A feminine voice. Who was that? I don’t think I have heard that kind of voice.
"Die, bitch."
That was the last thing I heard before the darkness took everything.
