Chapter 149

Astrid POV

Kael and Toren’s wolves immediately stopped, their eyes snapping to the car behind us. It was as if they were petrified. They took a step back.

Xander must have sensed the hesitation. He removed the knife from my neck, turned, and ran away from there shouting “wolves, wolves!”

Kael shifted into his human form and approached me with panic written all over his face.

But I was too stunned to comprehend the situation. My head was spinning again.

“You-” I couldn’t finish my sentence.

“Yeah!” he replied, watching my reaction.

My gaze swept over the three brothers. Overwhelmed by a surge of emotions, I fainted.

“Fuck!” Kael rasped. I sensed him picking me up, but after that, I recalled nothing. And why was it that something inside me was trying to surface? Like my soul that wanted to reach out to Kael’s soul or his wolf.

“Astrid!” Kael was lying right next to me. He tightened his grip around me.
