Chapter 115
TALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]
As much as I tried to conserve my strength, the poison in my wound depleted my power after a nonstop fight I was having with this giant, scar–faced werewolf in front of me.
[You are not going anywhere. You will die here, Alpha of the Silver Crescent!] He snarled at me.
Despite my fatal injuries from his minions, the bear–like beasts, and the silver bear trap, I still managed to stand and fight the bastard.
He dealt a deep gash on his back, a new, ugly wound across his face that I made sure would scar him for life. He was limping after I broke his left rib and his right hind leg. But this one was tougher than I had imagined. If he were an ordinary Gamma, he would have already died from the wound on his back. But I could tell he wasn’t just an ordinary wolf. Something was wrong with him–enhanced or drugged? I wasn’t sure, but he was definitely not a normal wolf.
[Can’t able to move now, Alpha?] he laughed in his raspy voice as he encircled me, even when he was already limping. [Don’t tell me you are dying on me now. I am not satisfied yet! I need to see you begging for your life!]
The herb. I need to take it back to my wife.
I grunted in pain as I attempted to stand up and still fight. I had to finish this fight and go home to my family. Saniantha was waiting for me. Devona and Diana–I couldn’t make my twins worry. The case where the herb was was still in my stomach and was starting to feel uncomfortable with it as I glared at the scarred face guy. I couldn’t waste any more time. I had to finish him.
Now.
The problem was, I couldn’t move. I was almost at my limit. And the only thing on my mind right now was to run and secure the herb. Make sure I could make it at least inside the gates. But seeing my enemy, I knew he would do everything in his power to keep me from leaving this place alive. I had to think. I had to know how I could escape this.
It was very unfortunate that my body couldn’t heal itself because of the poison. It was as if these bastards had sent me those beasts and the trap before deciding to face me themselves. They had thought this. They knew I would come.
They didn’t take the herb because they expected I would come for this. They used it as bait to corner me. To make sure I would never come back again to Silver Crescent!
[What are you waiting for?] I snarled at him as I winced from the pain. I managed to get up but my body was trembling with exhaustion as the poison slowly depleted the remaining strength in me. [Why don’t you come here and let’s f*cking see who would get out of this g*dd*mned forest first?!]
He grinned mockingly as he stopped from walking around me like a f*cking hyena. (I like that look on your face, Alpha of the Silver Crescent. I like seeing that desperation and fear as you beg for your life.]
[No one is begging here, f*ck face.] I spat at him as I steadied my knees and ignored the excruciating pain of the poisoned wound on my leg. [If there is someone who is going to beg here, I will make sure it’s you.]
He attacked me at full speed. My whole body tensed as I avoided his fangs and claws, trying to surpass his speed despite all of my injuries. I felt oxygen slowly burn my lungs as I breathed fast and deep. My shoulders and thighs sent shooting pain that almost made me want to scream in agony. I was one of the strongest Alphas on this continent.
I won many fights for decades as the leader of my pack. But this person, this dickhead–he’s something that makes me worried the most. If he was some product of an experiment just like what Samantha had told me before, the super soldiers that her mother used to study–then this continent and the royal family would be in danger.
All I could do was evade his razor–sharp claws and look for any chance for me to get away as he burned all his strength with his speed. To my dismay, it was as if he was never drained of energy, and my eyes were slowly blurring until one wrong step and I stumbled on top of a boulder, losing my balance.
With one quick slash of his claws, he had reached and lacerated my chest before I stumbled down the boulder and fell flat on the rocky ground. My ears rang; my head was spinning, and the adrenaline in me made my heart beat so fast that I wanted to puke.
4/2
