The Forgotten Luna by Cassandra M

Chapter 66

ADESSA.

It was not Kael's wolf. Someone found me.

Instead of running back to Kael as I originally planned, I spun around and started to sprint away. But this time, I went to where I saw many trees that were closer to each other. I had no idea how far I could run before it would reach me. All I knew was I needed to survive so I could find Kael.

I kept looking back, and when I was sure the wolf was treading the same path I took, including maneuvering himself on narrow bushes and trees, I ran head-on to the two trees standing close to each other and slipped my thin frame in between them, hoping his momentum would not let him steer away from this path.

My body landed on the other side with a big thud, and I immediately turned around, hands gripping the earth as I anticipated his next move.

With wide eyes, I watched as the wolf leaped into the air, only for his body to be trapped between the two trees.

He growled loudly, saliva dripping and eyes dilating as he struggled to break free.

I grabbed the big stone nearby and threw it at his face. It went directly to his eye, angering him more.

I had to run, but even before I could push myself off the ground, I felt warmth enveloping my whole body-something I had never experienced in my whole life.

My heart thudded loudly as I saw smoke rise from my skin, and it also caught the wolf's eyes, causing him to stop moving and stare at me.

I raised my hands and looked at my palms. I was not hallucinating a golden smoke was rising from them.

A growl reverberated from the wolf's chest, and I heard branches snapping and breaking. I immediately inched backward, watching with wide eyes as the wolf slowly destroyed the tree that trapped him until he managed to escape.

I knew I should get up. I knew I should run. But my body was rendered immobile as fear coursed through my veins, and the only thing I was able to do was scream my loudest the moment the wolf leaped in the air, ready to attack me.

My hands flew, and I was about to cover my head with my arms when a shadow came and intercepted his jump.
