An Enemy Called Mate

ZIVA

As soon as I turned around, the appearance of what I saw took me aback. Four large wolves were approaching us like a predator would to his prey.

One of the wolves, who seemed to be walking with the other wolves moved before them. It let a low, rumbling growl and instantly, I heard Anji scream, “Run!”

Then, I heard her footsteps rushing away. Instead of running, I stayed glued to the floor, staring at the large, dark wolves that were hopping towards me. Their faces were contorted with anger and their appearance alone was terrifying. I yelled to myself inwardly to run, but foolishly I didn’t.

Suddenly, a wave pushed past me, and I was not glued to the floor anymore. I raised my gaze, realizing that the modern landscape I had seen earlier was transformed into a local one, one with tall trees and trees alone.

I was moving quickly too, and my body was above something soft… Fur.

I was on a wolf.

Oh my! Am I being kidnapped by a wolf?!

“Help!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, intending to draw attention to myself. But no one came for me. Not even footsteps broke the silence in the forest.

I guess no one will save me because they don’t care about me. Hmph, I will save myself then.

Hastily, I scanned the floor the wolf hopped past.

If I try to jump down from it, I might break my leg or even my arm. Also, I don’t have a wolf, the injury will be bad… Very bad, and it won’t heal quickly.

I took in a deep breath, trying to calm myself down and think of a better alternative than getting a broken limb.

Alright! I won’t jump down. Instead, I will try to get down from this wolf carefully, without getting an injury.

I moved to a side and shifted my body. Lying on my stomach on the wolf’s back, I held the wolf’s fur. I accomplished that swiftly, and then I moved to the next step, sliding down from the wolf. It looked frightening since the wolf was hopping, but I managed to do it.

I was about to slide down in a minute. Suddenly, the wolf increased its speed, as the breeze hit my body, almost pushing me off the wolf’s body.

Then, I was scared, so scared that tears spilled out of my eyes uncontrollably. I’m scared of heights and this wolf right here is very tall.

“Help!!” I screamed, as my hands almost slipped away from the wolf’s fur. All of a sudden, the wolf stopped.

It let out a low growl, and I took my chance since it stopped moving!

I bent my knees, trying to slide faster. Finally, I was close to the ground, then, I curled my body into a ball.

I hit the ground, feeling a sharp pain in my shoulder. I could feel my skin stinging, and I knew a bruise was forming. I rolled and my body scraped against the rough earth.

I sat up quickly. Looking over my shoulders, the wolf was still around. It had a dark fur and dark eyes. It looked at me sternly, and for a moment, I caught a glimpse of blue. Also, the wolf had large paws and a muscular build.

Upon seeing me, it took a step.

“Stay away from me!” I yelled, sitting up, as I tried to create some distance between us. Meanwhile, the wolf didn’t even listen to me. It approached, and then I yelled, “Help!”

Even if I tried to stand and run at this moment, the wolf would definitely catch up to me.

Luckily, there was a tree branch nearby. I reached for it, grabbed it, and threw it at the wolf.

With that, the tree branch hit the wolf and it flinched. Meanwhile, I used that opportunity to rise to my feet and shout for help once more, in case someone might hear and help me.

Growl!

I heard.

The growl sounded like it was from multiple sources and it was approaching us. Then, everywhere fell into silence. Even the wolf next to me seemed to be attentive more than I was as he glanced sideways and paused like he was determined to hear the sound of a pin falling to the rough earth.

Bang!

A heavy thud echoed, and within seconds, I and the dark-furred wolf were surrounded by those angry-looking wolves I had seen earlier. They growled at the wolf next to me and the wolf growled back at them.

Without wasting time, I crept beneath one of the wolves and ran for my life! I ran as far as my legs could go, even though I could hear the heavy pounding of paws behind me.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Goodness! The wolves are chasing me! I can even hear my heart pounding in my chest!

I took a turn, hoping that the angry-looking wolves would lose contact with me, but they didn’t. They kept chasing me, maybe because of my scent. But my scent cannot be easily detected because I don’t have a wolf. How are they so fast and strong at perceiving it?

I took another turn and GBAM! A wolf fell to the floor as it stayed on all fours. Then, it snarled, baring its teeth at me.

As it faced me, I could see the glint of its razor-sharp teeth and the glint of malice in its amber eyes. The cold air bit at my skin, and I could feel my heart pounding a thousandth time.

At that moment, I was certain that my soul had jumped out of my body, but it returned when I realized that I would be eaten to pieces.

Worst day ever!

The angry-looking wolf paused all of a sudden. Its body was pushed aside as the dark-furred wolf blocked my path, obstructing me from the angry-looking wolf.

I decided to retreat and move to the other side, and there, another angry-looking wolf pounced on the floor as it approached me confidently.

Then, I squeezed my body into the dark-furred wolf’s back, as I was frightened to death.

Growl!

The dark-furred growled menacingly, but the angry-looking wolves didn’t back off. So, I threw a tree branch at the angry wolf by my side. It didn’t flinch one bit (; 😉

The dark-furred wolf growled again, and this time, it pounced on the wolf by my side. With a large force, his paw pushed me, throwing me into the tall bushes.

Meanwhile, it fought the two wolves bravely. It threw them around, and punched them, while I stayed hidden in the bushes as I waited for the fight to end.

The dark-furred wolf seemed like a good one, and moving away from this hiding place can cause trouble.
