Chapter 84. Run!

I picked myself up and ran as fast as I could. Without looking back, I jumped over logs and dried branches. I did not care if I was barefoot; all I had running in my mind was to get back to the pack-house in one piece.

'Avi, we need to shift. I don't think I can run any faster than this,' I suggested.

'You just thought about that now, you genius?' She spat.

'Are we going to shift or are you going to get us killed?' I snapped.

'Fine! Fine! Let me take over, then,' she replied.

I was just about to give her control when a wolf growled behind me. Without even looking behind me, my whole body shivered in fear.

'Shit!Shit! Shit!' Avi kept repeating like a mantra.

I closed my eyes, scared of what might come next.

A couple of seconds passed when I heard the crushing of leaves. It only meant one thing, the wolf was moving.

I was already anticipating some sort of kick or clawing. Instead, I felt something wet on my face.
