Second attack
The car stopped in the middle of the road. She had to get down after the supreme because the road was quiet and the driver had refused to drive her any further.
She turned her torchlight on and walked slowly on the road. Her heart was beating so fast that she thought it might jump out of her chest at any time. “I hope I’m doing the right thing.” She kept asking herself. Despite how her whole body was shaking due to fear, she kept walking forward.
She walked on the road for some time before she finally saw a turn that led to the woods. She inhaled a deep breath and walked into the woods.
She kept going, despite the sounds coming from the cricket and birds. The breeze was also blowing like it was about to rain. She thought maybe if she walked for some time, she might see the one who asked her to come.
She walked for some time in the woods until she finally thought, “What’s wrong with me? How could I believe a dream and go to the woods to meet someone? I didn’t even see the face.” She was surprised that nothing had happened to her since she started walking in the woods, because it was so quiet and dark.
It was as if someone had cast a spell on her before; she turned back to leave.
She hasn’t taken up to two steps when she saw something moving in the bush. She touched her pocket to remove her phone, but she remembered she had left it at home. Not long after, she heard a loud growl.
Wolf! She whispered, gulping her spit. She did not know when the torchlight in her hand fell to the ground. She just found herself running and screaming deep in the woods.
She screamed and ran without knowing where she was going. The wolves also chased after her.
It was the small light from the sky that made her see a little. She was still running when she suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. She could still remember vividly what had happened to her in the Supreme the last time. She couldn’t believe that she would be the cause of her second attack and death.
She crawled backwards slowly, her back hitting a tree; she couldn’t run again because of the pain in her leg.
She felt the wolves were already close to where she was. She screamed when the wolf was about to pounce on her, but she was surprised when she did not feel anything on her. The rogue had stopped all of a sudden. The wolf just stood there, staring at her, looking at her eyeball that had changed to green.
The wolf in front stepped back before the other ones also stepped back. She noticed that the wolves suddenly became terrified.
But as soon as her eyes changed back to their original color, The wolf moved forward to jump on her, but another big wolf suddenly came out of nowhere and pushed the rogue to the ground.

Alex made sure he rushed his work that day, just to go home and have dinner with her. He checked the time to see if he could still meet her for dinner.
But he was surprised when he entered the house and saw nobody eating at the table. “Did she eat her dinner early today?” He asked himself before walking up the stairs.
He had the feeling that something was wrong; he couldn’t get her scent in the house. He walked up to her door and knocked twice. But when he did not get any reply, he broke the door.
Shawn! He ran down the stairs and screamed his name.
Shawn quickly ran towards him and was about to ask him what was wrong when he heard. “Where’s Ellie?! Where did she go?!”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“She’s inside.” Shawn stuttered. He was sure that Ellie was inside because he hadn’t seen her outside that day.
“Are you telling me I’m lying? Get me the CCTV now!” He barked; he knew that she was in danger. He always got her scent, even if she was not really close by.
Without waiting for the guards to bring the CCTV footage, he went to the control room himself.
He drove out of the house at full speed. He did not know where he was going, but he just followed the route the taxi she took, as shown on the camera.
He drove for some minutes, until he started getting her faint scent. “The supreme.” He whispered in shock. He took his phone and called Callum to get the men ready to go to the Supreme right away.
It didn’t take long for him to get to the Supreme, but he realized that her scent was not there; it was just close. He drove for some time again, until he stopped his car in front of a turn that led to the dark forest. “What were you thinking, Ellie?” he whispered.
He got out of the car immediately before running into the woods without thinking. He felt that she was close by because of her strong scent in the air.
All of a sudden, he heard wolves howling. He turned into his wolf form and ran into the woods.
He pounced on a rogue that was about to jump on her. He pushed the rogue to the ground and held it to the ground by biting its neck. Its teeth were still on the rogue’s neck, biting aggressively until it dropped dead.
The other rogues behind him all stepped back in fear. They all ran for their lives when they heard more wolves coming from behind.
Ellie! Are you okay? He changed back to his human form and ran to her side. He held her and touched her face lightly.
“You’re finally here.” She whispered before passing out.
Callum ran to where Alex was. His men had chased the other rogues; he wanted to make sure Ellie was okay. “Is she okay?” He asked, looking at the girl in his arms.
“She’s fine. She just passed out.” Alex replied.
“You should go home. I’ll take care of things here.” Callum said before leaving his presence.
