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

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

I gasped, taking different routes, and I 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 manoeuvre it.

But I knew that it would catch up to me.
