ZEPHYR’S POV“She was hurt, almost but she healed. Very well. I’m shocked how she can heal so well with such a wound.” Oscala said.“Me too.”“We can discuss that later. We need to keep moving. We have no idea of our enemies are still coming.”I nodded, carrying Taylor in my arms again. We made our way towards that pack, in silence, at first but soon we stared to talk. “How long has it been since you last visited that place? That pack?” Zulu asked.“It’s been a while. I don’t think I went through it on the day I left the Lycan kingdom. But I’m sure it still safe. Believe me, I did a good job cleaning up things there. Speaking of getting rid of problems, Oscala why do I feel like you have a good idea of why we were attacked.”He was not responsive at first but eventually he opened up his mouth. “Taylor and you, are the strongest pack there is. Other packs are afraid, worried and are feeling threatened about your existence. I am not surprised that they came after you guys. The rogues

TAYLOR’S POVHe reared a step more, his gaze fixed on me and his fangs all exposed so I could see that I would be crushed in between those jaws.I bet he thought I was still frightened but I wasn’t . I was waiting for hi to take one final step. The closer he was to me, the harder it would be to grab when I slid into the opening.“Here a come Taylor. My apologies my Luna, for any pain I might soon cause you. However I’m just doing my job.” He gloated. In my mind, how words were out pitched by the voice in my head screaming. ‘If he moves, jump. If he moves, jump. If he moves, jump’.Finally he moved. I dived, right to the side, my entire body slipping into the opening and sliding a little.He roared in anger, grabbing the tree and trying to lift it up and throw it away. I crawled, fester then I had been done on my life, moving at the speed of god-knows-how fast, towards the small exit in the hollow tunnel created by the tree. I noticed that the hole slipped down. Probably there was a
TAYLOR’S POVMy body began to tremble, like I was a cold wet rat. I couldn’t move a muscle even when I god-damned as hell knew I should. It was the fear pinned me to the ground and I couldn’t even think. That footsteps came again, coming closer. My heart skipped a thousand beats, survival instincts setting in immediately. I rose off the ground, slowly. My head down and my back bent. To be honest I did not know what exactly I wanted to do, I just had to act and fast.Immediately that thought hit me, the next thing I heard was a growl; low but unnerving. It was so close. Too close to just sit out for. I grit my teeth, breathing slowly, stepping with extra care . Slowly I was moving away. Whatever it was they was behind me,, felt like it was going away. I could see a path up head, I just needed to climb up a small slop.I took one step. A terrible wrong step. My foot crushed a branch.I froze, my eyes widening immediately. I was no longer breathing.I felt the figure behind me turn its
TAYLOR’S POVThe sun set on us halfway to the Lycan kingdom. We had to stop and camp. Zephyr left me with Oscala while he moved forward to see it we were close to that small pack on the road to the Lycan kingdom. For the record, I told him it would ad better if we took. The straight road that ran through the two lands which was still been fought over by the Lycans and the wolves. He disagreed, insisting that the road was not ready for him to trend on. If he did, it would mean that he has taken over the land or something like that. I admit, he was making some sense but still, sometimes he should put propaganda and politics aside and help himself out. I heaved, looking out of the window in the carriage. Oscala was pacing and muttering. He had been doing that since we started this journey. Maybe not pacing because you can’t pace while strapped to a driver’s side on a carriage but he was definitely muttering. I rolled my eyes it’s boring everywhere I look. I leaned on my seat, closin
ZEPHYR’S POVYou never really understand how good it is to sleep in peace until you lose it. The few days I had to spend my nights with her, and lie awake at night worrying about her. The hours that I had to spent thinking of all the bad things in the world which could happen to us because of me; those were the most painful times of my life. Right now, waking up to feel her lying on my chest, sleeping silently, all snuggled up like baby, reminded me of what really mattered. What I thought of when I decided to lie. I see now that I could never bring myself to ruining this peace she had and that was why I chose to lie and face the consequences. Well, I’m glad they the consequences are finally behind us. She grumbled almost immediately I broke out if my reverie. I watched rub her eyes like a little girl and then open them. My face was the first thing she saw. She was still half asleep but she managed to smile at me. “Someone’s up early.” She murmured.“Its day break silly. We are up
