Bab 401: An Excruciatingly Long Moment

The impact of the wolf slamming into his chest had been a surprise. Roman was unable to stop the momentum from dragging them both back to tumble along the dips and edges of the mountain slope

As they fell down the mountain, the wolf continued to snap and bite at Roman. Then, the brutal shock of the landing against the plateau sent them sprawling in different directions.

With a pained grunt, Roman got to his feet first.

The wolf shifted back into the blond-haired man who had pushed him away from Bell the first time he came for her.

“You again,” Roman growled. But then he remembered how easily this one had fallen before. “Didn’t you learn your lesson the last time we met?”

Galen didn’t respond as he was getting to his feet.

“You couldn’t even hit me then. So what do you expect to do now?” Roman asked with a laugh.

“Last time,” Galen replied. “I was concerned with protecting my wife and child.”

Roman snarled at the words.
