Stronger by Ang Chris

Chapter 45

He would’ve shifted back and that meant breaking more bones, I didn’t bother tracking him, he wouldn’t get far.

He knew that too. I could see his fire right now; he wasn’t bothering to hide. He wanted to negotiate a surrender, he didn’t want to die, or he was drawing me in.

I had Luna Lillianna head west so that if he had a trapped planned she wouldn’t get caught. I had a flare ready to light to signal her to go.

I had asked Beck from the Waxing Pride to hold off with a bow. Wolves typically preferred hand to hand combat as it was more honorable and it required more strength.

Having him follow behind with a bow and arrows wasn’t entirely ideal in combat but I didn’t like anything to do with cat and mouse chase they had led us on.

“If you try and kill me I will burn you alive,” I warned.

The laugh that followed would probably haunt me for the rest of my life. The way I heard the blood gurgling inside him.

“They’ll kill me for failing, or worse,” He managed to get out.

“Then why stay there,”

“They’ll kill me for leaving,” he chuckled again the sickening sound gumming up my mind.

“Why am I here. You knew I’d come,”

“I’m not sure I should say this. But I know that I’m dead no matter what. I suppose that when we go we all want a clean conscience just in case,” He confessed.

“The Sigma your alpha killed was the elder brother of my Alpha. Now he wants raze your pack to the ground,” he

spoke

“What are they going to do,” I pressed finally stepping into the light.

“I don’t know,”
