RISSA’S POVIf you had asked me earlier what I’d be doing later in the evening, I’m pretty sure raped, chased around naked, and hunted by an angry wolf mob wouldn’t even make it to the list.I have been living as a rogue in that shack for some years now. Although my life did not necessarily have a direction, at least I had a routine that I’d gotten used to and a goal of finding my mother, and it gave my life a small sense of purpose.As we fled for our lives, I looked back at my shack as it was being invaded by those wolves, and I immediately knew that my situation had just graduated from bad to worse, and my life would never be the same. All thanks to this asshole who I’m escaping with. I still can’t believe I’m on the same team with the idiot who’s responsible for all this.As soon as we crawled a safe distance away from the shack, we picked up the pace and took to our heels, knowing that the angry mob would continue their pursuit once they searched and realized we were no longer in

DRAX’S POVFor the first time since I became a fugitive and was being hunted, I actually had a plan.Prior to now, I had no bearing, no direction, no destination, no will to live. I was just a lost soul, wandering the forest alone. To be honest, I was on the verge of death. I had even contemplated suicide, but I have a feeling that any attempt I made to take my life would just result in my wolf emerging with fury to cause havoc.Even if it wasn’t intentional, sometimes I’m low-key grateful that Rissa got dragged into all of this. Because the only thing that keeps me going right now is my promise to keep her safe.I’m pretty sure I would have given up long ago if the only thing at stake was my life. But because someone else is involved, I can’t give up. I can’t afford to have more blood on my hands.Although she’s annoying as hell, I have to make sure she stays alive. Or at least she doesn’t die because of me. My conscience wouldn’t be able to handle that.I still haven’t forgiven myse

RUSSIA’S POVI’m furious.How could he treat me that way? Do I look like a soldier to him? I have been running for three days now, and I’ve not even had any proper food to eat. I was so tired and my legs were so swollen, and he had the guts to push me into the river. That’s definitely not how to treat a lady.He’s lucky we made it out of that river alive, else I would have killed him.After walking for hours to try to find a comfortable place to crash for the night, Drax ended it all by stepping into a trap. I would normally say it serves him right, and that’s what he gets for mistreating a lady, but his predicament affected the both of us, so I let it slide.We couldn’t get him out of the trap—even though he shifted, and his wolf tried to break free—so we had no option but to crash there for the night. Then the next morning, I had to go and find some food for the both of us. It made me more furious, but I had to hold it in because I still needed him on this trip.A little while after

DRAX’S POVI really thought my wolf would spring up after receiving that hell of a beating from those damn rogues. Surprisingly, he didn’t show up. But I’m very sure he was on the verge of coming out, because I felt really tensed up. I had to try as much as possible to relax and keep myself calm after all that beating, for me not to shift involuntarily. That was why I lowered my head in silence while Rissa was busy interrogating Chad.I was doing breathing exercises and clearing out my head in a bid to lower my blood pressure.In a short while, after Rissa had finished playing her mind games on Chad without any success, Chad left the cave, leaving just the two of us chained inside. The sky had gone dark already, and I began to feel a strange sensation in my mind, like there was another presence inside of me. The feeling wasn’t entirely new, though. It was the same feeling I got right before hearing my wolf’s voice the other night.“Drax!” the familiar voice called inside my head. Imm

DRAX'S POVImmediately we were free of our bond, we dashed straight into the bushes and ran for our lives, away from the rapid gunfire and brawl going on behind us. The three of us ran speedily without looking back, while the bounty hunters and rogue werewolves murdered themselves."Um, Where exactly are we running to?" Lily asked.She's obviously new to the game, because if she knew how resilient and determined those guys are go kill us, she'd understand that at this point, the destination does not matter as much staying alive.To be fair, her question is not entirely out of place, but sincerely, I have no idea where we're heading to. I don't even know where we are at the moment, because those rogues had obviously taken us off course, and made us lose our sense of geographical orientation."I don't know, just run." Rissa replied her.I see she has gotten the gist. Prior to now, she would be the one asking these questions, but it's good to see her answering them for a change."Oh shit
