Chapter 67

Three ferocious and tawny maned wolves stood tall, and their teeth bared as they faced off their enemies with alertness. They were lean and muscular. From a distance, they looked like a cross between wolves and foxes, but they were nothing like the wolves most people know. Their terrifying howls echoed through the silent night, a clear warning to their foes.

“What should I do? What should I do now?” Hedy panicked, clutching onto the man in front of her. Her sharp and long nails nearly scratched his arm.

The man, dressed in camouflage and standing tall, furrowed his brows. As a soldier, he knew he shouldn’t be rude to a woman, but the woman behind him was simply too annoying. He was on the verge of pushing her away.

“Cool it and stay behind me,” he said coldly.

Then, he turned to another man, “Mr. Reed, you too. You’ve lost your team. Let me handle this.”

Egbert, with his icy gaze and calm demeanor, was staring at the trio of towering wolves. He didn’t even lift his head as he said, “I’m good.”

“Stop being so stubborn, get over here. Watch out!”

Before he could finish his sentence, the tallest wolf from the group suddenly lunged at Egbert.

The soldier was taken aback and was about to rush forward to help, but he found himself immobilized Hedy was clinging onto his waist, yelling, “You can’t leave. You have to protect me! You can’t abandon me!”

“Let go, he’s in danger!” The soldier struggled to free himself from Hedy’s grip, only to find her suddenly kneeling down and clinging to his leg instead.

“Do you know who I am? If I get hurt, my father won’t let you off!”

The soldier was truly angered now.

He grabbed Hedy’s clothes, ready to push her away.

Just then, the other two wolves lunged at him. His legs were restricted, and he couldn’t dodge. His right arm and left leg were instantly seized by the wolves!

“Ah!” He cried out in pain.

Seeing this, Hedy turned pale with fear and immediately let him go.

Finally free, but it was too late. The wolves had already torn the flesh on his arm and leg. They were even trying to reach for his neck, aiming to bite through his throat.
