The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74: A HERO

I couldn’t leave him alone.

I watched him take on three wolves all at once.

"I said RUN!" He warned me.

And then, at that moment, he lost guard and a wolf.

He jumped on his shoulder and bit him down.

I gasped. "Xaden!"

He used a blade to tear through the wolf, and then it whimpered.

He turned back to me. "I SAID RUN, AND THAT IS AN ORDER!"

I realized that I was, in fact, a distraction, and I had no choice but to run away.

I ran, and luckily, I did not put on the chains when leaving the lake, so I was able to run faster.

I gasped, taking different routes, and heard wolves howling in the distance. I made prayers for Xaden to be okay.

I heard a closer howl, and I turned around and saw a wolf running towards me.

I ran faster, trying my best to maneuver it.

But I knew that it would catch up to me.

As I hurried on, I hid through the bushes, and the wolf came to a halt, trying to find the way I went.

I looked left and right, then made a choice and ran the opposite way.

After a while, I slowly emerged from the bush and ran in the opposite direction.

Right in the middle of the field and under the moonlight was the elk.

It stood majestic as it grazed the fields and minded its business.

I gawked at its beauty. It was so massive.

Everything about him was white. He was probably around seven feet, five inches tall.

I didn’t want to disturb him, but then I heard that same howl, and I knew that the wolf had come back in this direction to find me.

I rushed to the elk.

"Please go." I pleaded. "You need to go, Shoo. They will harm you if they find you."

The elk did nothing and, instead of running off, sat on the grass.

"Shoooo. You need to go." I said, waving my hands.

The howl seemed to be getting closer, and I stayed to worry.

It didn’t move an inch; it just remained still, watching me.

It even tilted its head as if asking me what I was doing.

"You need to leave right now.

Then I heard a growl.

I turned around and saw that the wolf had found both of us.

I went to stand right in front of the elk to protect it. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

"Don’t come any more inches near us." I said this even though my heart was racing.

But the wolf didn’t care, and why would he? After all, I was just a slave, and it was evident from my simple clothes.

I couldn’t even turn into a wolf.

I was unshifted and useless. What could I even do?

He kept on walking towards us; the elk didn’t move an inch away from me.

I saw a stick lying by my side, and I grabbed it and swung it at the wolf.

"Stay back! Stay back!" I warned.

The wolf wasn’t deterred from it, and then he jumped on me.

I struggled as he bit through my flesh.

I screamed in pain at how hurtful it was.

It growled, and I struggled to push it off of me.
