Chapter 20: Enemy Domain (2)
Boom!
The alpha’s claws slammed into Wise’s daggers with so much force that the daggers were almost thrown out of his hands.
He had rotated too quickly so his footing was weak, as a result, both he and Taryn were tossed backward, their bodies skidding on the floor before coming to a halt.
Wasting time on the ground, Wise suddenly sprung to his feet and lifted Taryn up as well. He felt something warm dripping down his chin and only when he reached out to it, did he realize that it was blood.
"Good boy..." Wise praised the monster. "Now let’s see you do that again."
The alpha stared at him the way a dog would stare down at a rabbit and once again blended with the darkness.
This time, Wise closed his eyes and listened.
He could hear Taryn’s heart pounding in her chest with such an intensity that he feared she would die of a heart attack rather than being hit.
He could hear the chatter of the crowd as well as their complaints about how dim the arena was.
He could hear his own breathing as well as the gentle rhythmic hum of air rushing into his lungs.
But that was not all, he could hear them, two wolves racing towards him.
