Chapter 135 Ethan Escaped

Kal called for help, but it was too late. I took my chance, shifted, and launched myself off of my backlegs. I went flying over the desk, hitting him full force with all of my weight and knocking himbackward against the wall of the tent *Arrgh!* Kal shouted. “Guards!!" I couldn't speak to him since Iwas in my wolf form, so I'd have to show him I meant business in another way. With my paws on hischest, I bent down to bite his neck.

Kal brought his right arm up to block me. Even in his human form, he was a strong man. He was,after all, a king. He came from powerful bloodlines.

This wouldn't be as easy as I'd hoped. Rather than biting into his neck, I sunk my teeth into his armgnawing at the flesh. Kal screamed as blood shot out, dripping all over his face and splattering thefloor. I ground my teeth against the bone of his forearm, pulling until I felt a snap.

With his upper arm in my mouth, I turned my head and spit it out. Now, it would be easier for me toget to his neck.

“Ethan, you f*cking bastard!” he shouted.

I hoped those would be the last words he said. Leaning forward again, I aimed for his neck, butthen, I felt a sharp pain in my side and smelled another fresh spray of blood.

But this time, it was my own crimson life force that was flowing all over the ground.

Looking down, I could see that he had a knife in his hand.

"King Kal!" I heard shouts outside and then three wolves entered the tent.

I realized that my best opportunity was gone. As he pulled the knife back to stab me again, I knewthat I had no choice but to abandon my mission. If I stayed any longer, I'd be captured, and then I'dbe of no use to anyone.

I growled at him and swiped my claws across his face, leaving a band of red marks. His body hit theground, but at the same time, sharp pain radiated from my body and my legs. I was being attackedby three wolves.

Kal seemed to have lost his consciousness. Maybe due to the loss of blood.

I would recover from my injury, but he couldn't grow another arm.... He wouldn't forget what I'ddone.

I fought off the three wolves, sprinting out of the tent, and ran between the forces Kal had calledfor, moving much quicker than any of them could. They didn't even have a chance to changedirection before I made my way between them untouched.

They trailed me as I headed back to the tunnel I'd used to sneak in. However, with my wound, I lostsome of my speed and I couldn't get rid of them,

D*mn it! With only this distance in between me and the enemy guards, they would discover thetunnel I came from if I choose the same route back. I couldn't do that that tunnel connected backinto the capital, and I couldn't let them replace it!

So I ran in a different direction and hoped that I could last long enough to get to the meeting spotwith Talon. The problem was that I was in the middle of Kal's base. More enpmies gathered from alldirections, and a few of them managed to slow me down even more. A Bisdardat

If I couldn't break through to meet with Talon, I'd seriously consider going back to Kal's tent and dosome more damage to that mother f*cker before his guys tore me apart

*Oooowhooo—

Familiar howls echoed from nearby

I wished I could chuckle. Well, it seemed like I wouldn't need to go back to Kal to delivery mysuicidal attacks now.

Ethan, seriously, did you f*cking lose your mind?!" Talon roared in the mindlink.

Second time in a day. Talon,’l was injured, but I was in a much better mood compared to earlier inthe day. Enemies’ blood was always the most effective solution to a bad day. "You've broken yourown record.’

Talon ignored my joke. He only asked, “Where shall I meet you?

Twelve o'clock of the capital. We are heading north, I told him.

Soon, Talon and my men were able to clear through the wolf batch ahead of me.

Talon, Vicky, Richard, along with the soldiers I'd brought with me were all here. Their meagerbelongings in bags strapped to their backs, I knew they were here to prove their loyalty to me.Once I got back with my men, the enemies hesitated to chase after us. No one would like to fightagainst the Drogomor’'s warriors. Especially with their leader severely injured, they dare not comeafter me.

All I could think to say was, Thank you,’ before I motioned for them to follow me. No one made anysound, but I knew they would follow me until the end of my days.

“Alpha, is your wound okay?’ This time, it was Vicky who broke the silence.

Yes, and it's all worth it. I bit off Kal's arm.’l knew Talon was not happy with my reckless deed.Hopefully, this news would cheer him up. He didn't say anything, but I knew he heard it.

As expected, he sighed, “Hopefully, that would give Commander Adler enough time to sendreinforcement to the capital.’

Who cares about them!" Vicky retorted. I knew “them” meant James and the other Alphas who votedfor handing me out.

Vicky," Talon stopped her, “it doesn't help.’

I cleared my throat and managed to draw their attention back to me. “Guys, we'll split up into smallgroups to blend in when we are close to the capital. They will be looking for me. We'll meet at theshortcut to go back north. You guys go with Richard.’

Soon, we scattered our group to mingle with the civilians outside of the capital, falling in betweensome wolves that were clearly from the village. I could tell by their size and the desperate looks intheir eyes.

Chaos flooded my eyes as soldiers, citizens, and wolves of all sorts ran amok everywhere I looked.

I ran with them for several hundred yards before I saw a military detail over to my left. Theyappeared to be looking for someone-probably me.

It was time to shift tactics. I left my pack of citizen wolves and found some humans. I couldn't blendin with them, but they were carrying large pieces of luggage and running frantically, so I was able toget behind them and make it to the woods.

Another military detail was coming through, but this one seemed to be trying to direct the citizens.They were in their human forms, and the leader said, “Calm down, everyone! Come this way!" andgestured for them all to follow him.

Taking the opportunity to duck behind a bush, I waited for them to leave, then I sprinted the lasthundred yards toward the shortcut leading us to the north.

Once we regrouped, we took off. When I'd used a similar path to access the capital only a few hoursor so ago, I

never would've thought I'd be leaving again so quickly, but / tried not to think about that just now.So much had happened in such a short amount of time, but it wasn't the time for me to getoverwhelmed.

it had been a couple of days since we'd left the capital. Our paws flew through the darkening woods,and I had sorted through everything that had happened on the way.

By now, /'d be stupid if I still couldn't figure out who was the turncoat in the capital.

Based on Talon's report, Damian had disappeared before I arrived. That b*sdard had worked withSoren to put on

this show.

Not surprising. I was quite sure that even Romero must have figured out that his Beta wasn't loyalto him or his daughter.

Damian didn't care about his Alpha- maybe he wanted to become an Alpha of the islands himself.

I had no interest in knowing his ambitions, but I'd make sure he paid for this eventually,unfortunately, not right now though.

Right now, I needed to focus on getting to the north.

James and Kal would both be looking for me. If they couldn't figure out where I'd gone, would theystart with Rosalie and my child? The possibility sent shivers down my spine. I needed to be with myfamily.

Vaguely, my mind went back to the words of the Seer, but I really didn't give a f*ck what fate wouldhave to say to me. My life was already f*cked up, and it wouldn't get any worse. So I'd do whatever Ifelt like at the moment.

Once I was further north, I'd try to replace Georgia to warn her. She would have to make her ownchoice on which side to pick, among me, Soren, and James. If my half sister was with me, it would beeasier to replace Rosalie and my child.

The thought of Rosalie made my heart ache. I was so close to her just a few days ago but I let thatopportunity slip. Now I was banished, how could I ever ask her to be with me again?

No, I couldn’t

I knew I needed to go north because she was there with my child, however I could never bringmyself to ask her to live the rest of her life with a rogue.

I couldn't allow her to do that.

Once I was there, once I got close enough to her... I would just meet my child and leave. I'd be closeby to protect her without her knowing it, and that would be enough for me.

Was this the punishment that the Moon Goddess gave me for my failure to treat Rosalie properly?Did what I do earlier in my life lead to my ridiculous fate right now?

I found no answers. All I knew was that I wanted to be close to her, whether she wanted me or not,because that would bring me hope and joy, and that was the only thing I needed right now.

“Alpha, we are close to the northern tier. I can tell were not alone.’ Talon commented via mindlink.“Rogues, Richard pitched in.

1 licked my lips, and I could feel a thirst for blood. “Let them come!" I snarled.

We broke through the forest and came up a slight slope into a relatively open area. The moonlightwas bright, and we could see clearly. I was in the lead and paused to survey the area. I didn't see anywolves-but I could smell them.

They're here,’ Richard said...

ette *** Ethan Empw

From what I could tell, there werent many, perhaps a half dozen. I let out a long howl

A giant black wolf came out from between the trees, his sharp teeth gleaming in the moonlight. Isnarled at him, and ne crouched down, as if he thought he could take all of us on at once. One byone, the other five revealed themselves. None of them were quite as big as him, but they weregood-sized.

Fools'i muttered to myself.

“They would slow us down, Talon said using the mindlink.

“They wont'l told him. I could rip them all apart. I could still feel the warmth of Kal's blood all overmy chin.

The large black wolf came running at me, and the others attacked as well. It was over before itbegan. I grabbed him out of the air, sinking my teeth into his neck. I swung him around and tossedhim against a tree. Hearing the crack of bones as he hit the tree, I watched as he slid to the ground,whimpering.

Leaving him there to die was an option, but I wanted to taste his blood in my mouth. I ran over andsank my teeth into his neck, ripping the tendons and muscle as I bit through the veins. Thewhimpering stopped, and the forest went silent as I spit out a wad of dirty fur and bloody meat.Looking around, I saw that the other five were down as well, and only one of my warriors was evenbleeding. It was a minor scratch over his eye. He'd be fine.

“Let's go,’ said, and we began to run again.

If that was all fate had to throw at me, then I'd laugh and tell it to f*ck itself.
