Chapter 33: Life-threatening
"Aurora!" Faint cries of worry reached Aurora’s ears, but she lacked the strength to respond. Her eyelids fluttered as she struggled to breathe, losing consciousness inch by inch.
"Leave with her now!" Damien’s voice erupted, filled with urgency, though Aurora could barely discern her surroundings, she knew they were involved in a crash. Her head throbbed in pain as she tried to move.
"We can’t move without backup! What if there are more of them ahead?" Another voice, reminiscent of Enoch’s, interjected, sparking an apparent argument.
"She won’t survive until then. I can handle this. Go!" Aurora strained to move, but her body refused to obey, rendering her paralyzed.
"Motherfuckers, come at me!" Damien’s furious voice bellowed as he transformed into a magnificent white wolf, his eyes blazing with golden anger.
Enoch assisted Aurora onto his back, transforming into a sturdy brown wolf, smaller than Damien but still sizable. The last image Aurora captured before Enoch sprinted away was a dagger piercing through Damien’s wolf form, evoking a growl of pain.
"Damien!" she murmured, succumbing to the impending darkness.
"Well, well, if it isn’t the arrogant Alpha. What a delightful surprise," a man of short stature donning a blue suit stepped out of a car, his tone laced with mockery.
"If I had known you would give me such a warm welcome, I would have prepared a feast," Damien retorted, reverting to his human form. His left arm bled profusely from the dagger’s strike, an unusual sight unless the blade was laced with wolfsbane.
