Chapter 226 The Mad Horse

Hayley’s POV:

The change happened so quickly. Without thinking, I instinctively tightened my grip on the reins, trying to control the horse’s speed, but it was completely out of control. The horse galloped forward, frantically racing ahead.

stomach churned in discomfort.

“Stop! Stop, please!” I pulled on the reins, trying desperately to control the horse beneath me.

But the horse wouldn’t listen, fighting against me, twisting its body as if it wanted to throw me off.

“Hayley, let go of your body!” Hera called to me.

I hesitated.

Johnny had set a rule at his stable. No werewolf, regardless of rank, was allowed to shift into their wolf form while riding to avoid frightening the horses.

If I gave in to Hera now, I would break that rule.

“Help! Somebody!” I rejected Hera’s call and shouted for help, but no one seemed to hear me.

The horse galloped on, twisting and jerking, just barely keeping me from being thrown.

I had no choice but to hold on tightly, wrapping my arms around the horse as it ran wild.

The wind whipped past my ears, and my face stung with pain.

I held on, not knowing how much longer I could last.
