Chosen By The Moon (Dylan) novel Chapter 422

I looked around quickly and noticed a very large thick tree branch resting towards my left. I attempted to grab it to use as a weapon but the wolf who had tried dragging me over to his grace suddenly jumped in front of me with, I swear the animal was smirking as he stalked towards me. Not to mention I had been too preoccupied to realize that the king too was stalking towards me.

I was completely and utterly defenseless. I had weapons, but without a gun my only options were close combat, I was in trouble I knew that, and fear was the only thing consuming me. If I didn't think fast then King Josh surely would get hold of me again. If that happened then it truly was all over. Shit... think, think.

What could I do?.. My head darted around to see if there was anything that I could do in stead of just standing there, shaking. There was a tree behind me and I took action just as my attacker pounced. I swung my leg up to a ridge in the trees bark and quickly began to climb it. One advantage of being human, I doubt those beasts could climb, at the very least, I doubted they could in their wolf form.

Once I had gotten to a strong branch that could hold my weight I swung onto it, leaving the mutt snarling and growling at my out of reach form. Quickly I fisted the hilt of one of the silver blades I had kept in the holster on my thigh and held it tight, before letting out a shaky breath.

My eyes raked over the bodies all fighting for what they believed in. Meanwhile I was up a tree, being a coward my hands trembling more than ever as I thought about nothing but the king. Seeing him again had quickly put both doubt and fear back into my soul, I couldn't let him get his hands on me...

I was absolutely terrified of the possibility of king Josh getting the chance to claim me.

Oh.
