Bab 67: Chapter 66- Fangs and Steel(5)

"How did you know we were under attack?" Alex asked as Rebecca handed him back the dagger.

Rebecca froze for a moment, and then, with a shy smile, she responded, "Actually, we didn't make it much far away since, en route, I suddenly decided to run away from the carriage."

Alex raised his brows, "You...didn't intend on going away in the first place, right?"

Rebecca just smiled shamelessly, proving his hunch to be right.

Edric, who failed to comprehend what they were talking about, asked Alex, "You aren't into her, right?"

Alex heaved a sigh, "Does it matter now? Let's get there and-ah!"

Alex's eyes slowly parted wide as he spotted the figure of the two finally appearing in clear sight as they stood across each other.

Unlike the wolf, who doesn't appear to have received much damage, Eric looked severely injured; several of his wounds continuously bled, making Rebecca frown.
