Chapter 4

"Are you sure we should do this?" Lisa asked. She is one of the wolves locked here.

"We don't have any other options. We need to escape from here." I replied.

"We'll all die because of you." Isaac said.

"We are going to die anyway. What do you think they will do if they can't get any valuable information from you? You will be of no use to them. They will get rid of you either if they get information or not. All of us will die eventually. Why not try to escape and get a chance to live?" I stated.

"Kimberly is right. Rogues are not going to show any mercy on us. we should escape soon." Lisa said.

"Before the guards come back, we need to get ourselves free from these cages and ropes." I said. I noticed a piece of glass at a corner. I made my chair collapse and crawled towards the glass. I finally got hold of the glass and started cutting the rope. Once my hands got free, I opened the cages. Lisa, Isaac, and other wolves came out.

"We can't shift. They have been injecting some amount of silver in us to make our wolves weak." Lisa said.

"How are we going to fight them in human form? They are stronger than us." Isaac said.

"Don’t worry, I can still shift. It's been a whole day since I was attacked with Silver Dart. They haven't injected any more silver in me recently. My wolf is completely healed. I can shift." I reassured them.

"Isaac, break the glass of that window. All of us will jump from here and try to run away. Kimberly will cover us from behind in her wolf form." Lisa explained the plan.

Isaac broke the glass, and everyone started jumping down.

"What's going on there?" I heard a guard shouting.

"They are coming, guys. Faster ." I rushed towards the window once everyone was out . I jumped and shifted mid-air.

'I'll handle everything now.' Moon stated.

Some rogues tried to attack me, and Moon tackled them easily and started running away .

As we thought, we were finally out of their claws, some rogue wolves came out of the bushes, and encircled us.

"Oh god! we are going to die." Lisa cried.

Moon tried to lunged on the wolves, but they attacked us with silver dart. Moon fell down. Silver is burning our skin.

'Hold on Moon. Don't close your eyes. Otherwise, they will kill us. Others will die for trusting us and participating in our plan.' I tried to encourage Moon to keep fighting. I can feel her pain, but it's a do or die situation for us.

The rogues started lunging on Moon. She is trying her best to fight back. I can hear the scream of others. They are crying for help.

Moon can't hold back anymore. I have to take control now. She needs to rest. I shifted back in my human form. I'm feeling dizzy, too. But I need to stay awake. A wolf jumped on me, and I successfully kicked him.

"Guys, we have no other option. We need to fight for our lives." I encouraged others.

'Moon, are you alright?' I asked.

'I'm sorry for disappointing you, Kimberly. ' She apologized.

'You don’t have to be sorry. ' I replied.

Some of the rogue wolves also shifted back. They have weapons made up of silver. One of them attacked me with a silver knife. I twisted his arm, snatched the knife, and stabbed him.

I passed that knife to Lisa so that she could defend herself. I will never forgive myself if anything happens to any of them. This escape was my plan, after all.

Some rogues wolves attacked me at once. I tried to fight back, but they caught me.

"Bitch, you will pay for this." The rogue slapped me across my face.

"Catch them all and kill them." Their leader arrived.

All of us were caught. I don't know what to do anymore.

'Give me control. ' Moon said.

'You are injured. ' I replied.

'Trust me, I'll manage. ' She said.

I tried to shift, but they tied me up in silver chains.

I think this is the end. I'm going to die.

"You can kill me if you want, but please don't kill them. It was my idea to escape. " I requested.

"All of you will die today. " The leader announced.

I fell on my knees with my eyes closed. It's all my fault.

I winced as the silver chains burned against my wrists, skin blistering everytime I try to break the chain. The rogues circled like vultures, snarling and taunting.

"Maybe we start with her," one of them hissed, stepping closer to Lisa .

"Touch her," I growled despite the pain, "and I swear I'll rip your throat out."

A chorus of mocking laughter followed. "Big words for a wolf who can’t even shift," another sneered.

Suddenly, there was a rustle in the bushes and trees.

The rogues froze.

A low, thunderous growl rolled through the forest like a warning.

From the shadows, a massive wolf stepped into view. His fur shimmered silver-grey , eyes glowing with lethal fury. An Alpha.

"Who the hell—?" One rogue began, but it was already too late.

The grey wolf lunged, a blur of muscle and rage. He sank his fangs into the first rogue’s throat, ripping through him with terrifying ease. Chaos erupted. Screams, snarls, blood.

I rolled to my side, wincing, trying to shield the others.

Another rogue sprinted toward us but was hurled backward mid air as the alpha slammed him to the ground.

Within minutes, the clearing fell silent.

The grey wolf stood among the dead rogues .

He knelt beside me, voice low but commanding. "You’re safe now. No one will hurt you now."

"Who are you?" I voiced out.
