Chapter 144: Who Was That He-Wolf?

I couldn't remember the last time Hawke and I had a conversation. He was Raymond's son, the guy my father had left in charge when he went off on his travels. Raymond had been holding the pack together and Hawke had been helping.

Why was he so angry at me?

“What happened to your arms?” I asked as I rubbed my temples. My headache was going away quickly.

“Like you don't know!“ he growled, spitting on the ground at my feet.

“I really don't,“ I shrugged. Slowly, I stood up and brushed the dirt off my pants.

“You fucking cunt! If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened!“ He nodded toward me, his entire body shaking with fury. "Don't play dumb, bitch!"

“What in the world are you talking about!“

Hawke lunged at me again and rammed his shoulder into my chest. My lungs seized and all the air was knocked out of me.

Gasping and groaning, I rolled onto my side. I tried to breathe but my throat closed and I just gasped and wheezed.

“Ha... w..." Why was he doing this? What was wrong with him?

“I'm going to teach you what it means to lose the use of your body!' he cried.

Hawke roared and his foot was kicking toward my stomach with all of his might.

I curled in a little ball, trying to prepare for the upcoming pain.

"I'll teach y... NO!"

I cradled my head but the anticipated pain didn't land on me. I heard snarling and growling and felt a shadow pass over me. Then Hawke wasn't kicking me anymore.

Glancing up, I saw a massive he-wolf standing over Hawke’s unconscious body.

Gasping, I sat up and stared at the sleek, silky wolf as its tail swished back and forth. His jet-black fur was thick and glossy with a red streak, his eyes deep and familiar. I was mesmerized.

"Ciana! Ciana!"

It was my dad!

My father's voice snapped me out of my daze. I got to my feet, turned around, and saw his familiar, tall and strong form rushing toward me. Without thinking, I ran to Dad and threw myself into his arms.

"Ciana, are you okay?" he asked, hugging me tightly.

'Daddy! It really is you!" I couldn't believe my eyes! 'I'm okay. Someone saved me just in time.’

I glanced over my shoulder and saw that the he—wolf was gone. Who was he?
