Chapter 212: A threat?
Silas’ muscles abided by the defensive position they’d initially assumed, his eyes darting all around in front of himself, thoroughly searching for he who ran towards them at such a high speed.
From the body odor he exuded, the vampire was adamant the individual was male, bore wolven heritage, but from the sound of their steps alone, it was clear he carried a lot less weight than a standard full adult.
Realizing the potential attacker drew nearer from the eastern side, Silas’ arm rose as a shield between Arabella and that way.
It took seconds before his keen diamonds spotted suspicious movement among the tall trees surrounding their property.
When he finally locked their visuals down, Silas noticed a dark tuft of hair on the humanoid body, skipping behind trunks and approaching the two of them at an alarmingly rapid rate.
Although the vampire made nothing of it until the creature exited the forest, thus becoming completely exposed.
It was when a gasp escaped Arabella that he finally decided to act, flashing full speed at them before the actions of both opposing sides culminated in a violent collision.
Silas’ hand fiercely hooked around the boy’s throat, lifted his small body up with terrifying ease to kill his momentum then stapled his back flat against the ground.
The little creature growled, clawing at Silas’ skin with all of his might, but to no avail. His claws still in development, had not the sliver of a chance to harm the vampire.
