The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: THE RACE FROM THE DARK FOREST

In the split second that Philip stepped into the forest.

He was engulfed in the forest and dragged inside.

It happened so fast and yet they all saw it.

The hands of the little girl who had been his sister turned into a stretch of black and then turned into a horrifying monster that dragged Philip inside the forest.

Philip screamed in horror as he was taken away from everyone.

They all watched in horror as they heard his screams.

No one said a single word.

"Can we not perhaps go help him?" Owen asked stepping forward towards the forest.

"No, do not make that mistake," Erik said, setting his hand on his shoulder and stopping him from propelling forward. "Philip is gone. We have to keep on moving. If we get caught in the dark in the forest, we are in it for life, and we will never leave here alive."

Erik climbed back up on his horse.

Then Xaden made some words in their tongue as he looked towards the forest.

He was saying some words that would end Phillip’s bond and also help him cross him over.

As soon as they climbed their horse, someone else crossed into the forest.

"Wait no!"

But it was too late.

By the time they had all turned to see what the new commotion was about, another wolf in their party had turned into the forest.

And then another and another and tenth were just getting in in their numbers.

"What is happening?" Xaden asked.

"They opened up their senses and then the Ryliat are taking over and making them cross over," Erik added two and two together.

He turned back to the men. "Shut down your senses! Close it back! Do not let them get into you! If they do, then they will be able to control you and let you do what they want you to do now!"

But they had already done it.

A number of the wolves were now crossing across.

Over seven of them had gone looking for their loved ones or the ones that the monster had used to deceive them.

Xaden reinforced his power as Alpha and was able to suppress and curb those who had not yet been taken control of by the Ryliat.

Erik began to feel his senses vibrate and he knew that his wall was weakening.

He started to heat his late wife.

"My love." She called out in pleasure.

But then he turned his head and tried to suppress her voice even though it pierced his heart.

They rode off away, and now they were left with only twenty-two men, including both Xaden and Erik.

They raced down the forest.

It was like an endless maze.

But they kept on running nonstop.

Soon, it was almost dusk, and the forest seemed not to be ending anytime soon.

"Erik are you sure that this forest is closing up anytime soon?" Xaden asked. "It has been years are you sure that things are not different now?"
