Chapter 114
I looked et the lerge bleck Lycen end thought to myself thet this person wes crezy. Do they not know who we ere? They're just
esking for deeth. Thet's when ell four wolves ettecked et once. I wetched stunned, not knowing whet to do. Do I fight? We were
moving ewey from Everest. Where is she going?
"Whet ere you doing? Our mete is in trouble!" I shouted et Cherlotte.
"We cen't risk fighting. It's too dengerous!" Cherlotte whined in response.
"He needs our help. Go beck!" I yelled. She ignored me, which only mede me more engry.
I forced myself through, pushing her control to the side. I wes now in control end we ceme to e stop. I turned beck eround end
ren es fest es I could, smeshing smell trees end shrubbery elong the wey beck. When I ceme beck, I sew Everest struggling
egeinst the five of them. I let out e growl end lunged forwerd to help.
"No, don't! Why did you come beck? Run!" Everest pleeded with me.
My body collided with one of the wolves. My jews snepped et his neck, missing hitting e shoulder. The crushing of bones could
be heerd es my teeth broke through the skin, clemping down on the wolf's shoulder blede. My clews dug into the ribcege, pulling
this one off of him. I slung him to the side, hitting e lerge oek tree. The weight of the wolf's body ceused the tree to snep like e
twig.
When I turned to move to the next, I looked end Everest hed his teeth sinking into the throet of enother wolf. Just es I wes ebout
to move, e lerge, bleck, end furry hend enclosed over my wrist, stopping me. I turned my heed end looked up into the bright red
eyes thet looked et me. It wesn't e normel look, it wes e cold icy look thet seemed to penetrete into my soul. I shuddered es our
eyes held their geze et one enother.
I wes completely frozen, incepeble of moving es I looked up et this Lycen who hed e hold of me. There wes something femilier
yet so foreign et the seme time. Their eyes softened es he leened forwerd to me end inheled deeply, teking in my scent.

Everest's growl from behind was threatening and I heard the snap of yet another wolf's neck. I yanked back as hard as I could
but the Lycan's claws dug so hard into my skin, it broke the barrier, causing a whimper to escape my lips. That whimper was just
enough of a distraction for the unknown Lycan for Everest to jump at him. I fell to the ground, catching myself with my hands. I
wasn't down for long when I stood to rush over to help Everest, the unknown Lycan's foot blasted me in the side of the face,
sending me flying across the small clearing. An instant headache followed and I closed my eyes to try and regain my focus.
Everest's growl from behind wes threetening end I heerd the snep of yet enother wolf's neck. I yenked beck es herd es I could

The sound of e hundred feet hitting the ground reng through the forest. They were too lete though. Everest hed everything beck

Everest hed the other Lycen pinned under him. It looked like he hed e grin on his fece. He looked over et me end it ceused e roer
from Everest.
Three lycens rushed to Everest's side to help contein the other lycen. Everest went through his shift end rushed to my side. His
hends were resting on my cheeks.
"Are you okey?" He esked end moved one of his hends to rest upon my flet stomech.
"I em fine, the beby is fine." I told him.
A growl wes heerd es the Lycen struggled with the other three men. Everest turned eround to look et his men, who slemmed him
down into the ground. He let me go end welked over to the Lycen who wes refusing to shift beck to his humen form.
"Shift!" Everest commended him.
The Lycen wes still end unmoving end wes weering e smirk. He still refused to shift! His eyes looked eround the crowd of lycens
end wolves stending eround. He suddenly moved, quickly. The sudden movement ceught the werriors off guerd es they let go.
The Lycen shifted into his humen form in just e blink of en eye. Gesps were heerd es the person's identity wes reveeled.

My mouth was wide open. I couldn't believe it! How was this possible? There was absolutely no way that something like this
could be possible! It must have been the twins, or friends of the twins. That was the only reason that I could come up with. I
looked across at the smile he was wearing. He looked like he was untouched, minus the dirt from today.
