Chapter 136
At first, it was just the ground shaking slightly, sending some small rocks rolling around.
But then they heard those noises, the heavy thud of paws hitting against the ground,
the booming wolf howls, the sound of soldiers yelling in the distance..
Lance was closing up on them.
The three of them ran out of the woods and gazed to the north.
A large group of soldiers appeared in their field of vision. Some had shifted into their wolves, and some remained in their human forms driving the cars.
Leading up front was Lance, riding on the back of a wolf.
The amount of the pursuers was larger than they expected.
Looked like that Lance was really determined to catch them back.
“Alpha Daran!” Lance shouted out to them, his voice echoing in the field. “Just give up already! You won’t be able to escape!”
“Let’s go!”
Daran grabbed Janet’s hand urgently, “Let’s lure our fishes into the net.”
They sprinted southward, leaving the rugged wasteland behind them and deep into the forest.
The sun had barely risen, casting long shadows across the woods. The forest was dense, the underbrush slowing their progress, but it could also form a hindrance to their pursuers.
Janet could hear her own ragged breaths and the pounding sound of her heart hitting against her chest.
Besides the sound of their own footsteps, there was also the distant sound of boots. crashing through the underbrush and the occasional shout of a soldier as they closed the distance.
Luring the soldiers to the borderline was a tricky task.
They didn’t want to go too fast for the soldiers to completely lose track of them.
Yet they also didn’t want to go too slow so that the soldiers would catch them before they reached the border.
So they kept an appropriate distance from their pursuers.
Daran looked back beyond his shoulders a couple of times to make sure that the rogues stayed on the hook.
Janet was soon exhausted/
She had been running like this for 5 hours straight last night. And she barely got any sleep.
Her legs ached and her lungs burned. Without the help of her wolf, she was pushing closer to her human limit.
It was getting harder and harder to keep up with the guys.

Her legs ached and her lungs burned. Without the help of her wolt, she was pushing closer to her human limit.
It was getting harder and harder to keep up with the guys.
Yet Janet pushed herself harder.
She didn’t want to become anyone’s bunder.
She was a trained warrior. She was a Gamma. She could do this.
Janet raised her head and looked ahead.
There was Daran, leading the way. His tall frame easily navigated the terrain despite his labored breathing.
His presence gave her a great sense of security.
As long as he was here, she felt that she could do anything, her body fueled with immense power.
Daran noticed her gaze when he looked around. He slowed his steps slightly and started running with Janet’s shoulder to shoulder.
“D-Don’t wait for me!” Janet gasped, panting roughly. “…Just keep going!”
Daran held her hand and squeezed it.
“We are close.” he said, “Close to the borderline. Stay with me!”
They picked up the pace again.
The slope of the landscape was getting steeper. Janet started to get the feeling that they were climbing up a hill.
Janet raised her head and looked to the front. She could already see the edge of the woods. And past the treeline was the top of the hill.
“We go beyond the hill!” Casper cried to them, “Then we are there!”
Janet’s heart raced with excitement.
Beyond the hill was the borderline, where Kass, Balvina, and all the Blood Moon Pack’s soldiers were waiting.
They were indeed close!!!
Yet suddenly, a loud crack echoed through the forest.
A bullet whizzed past Janet’s ear.
Somebody drew the gun!
“Fuck!”
Daran cursed loudly and pressed Janet’s head down urgently. She stumbled but regained her footing, her heart pounding even harder.
The gunshot came again. This time followed immediately by Casper’s sharp cry.
Janet jerked around in panic.
Her brother was shot!
“Casper-!” she screamed.
“No, I am fine!” Casper rushed to her. holding his bleeding right arm “That son of a
The gunshot came again. This time followed immediately by Casper’s sharp cry Janet jerked around in panic.
Her brother was shot!
“Casper–!” she screamed.
“No, I am tine!” Casper rushed to her, holding his bleeding right arm. “That son of a bitch Lance shot me with a fucking riffle-Catch!”
He tossed her a 9mm.
Janet caught the pistol and pointed it to her back.
As werewolves, they didn’t normally fight with weapons. But Janet was a skillful snipper. She was good with guns.
She saw Lance’s face in her telescope.
With the fire of hatred burning in her chest, she pulled the trigger.
The bullet whizzed through the woods and caught Lance’s left shoulder, knocking him down from his wolf.
“He is down!” Daran snapped, “Go, go, go!”
Together, they rushed out of the woods and climbed up to the top of the hill.
A large group of people were waiting for them there.
Janet saw the face of her closest friend.
“Balvina-!!!” she yelled.
Balvina rushed over and the two hugged tightly with each other.
“Janet!” Balvina choked, “God…I miss you so much!! And so is everyone!”
Janet looked around.
She saw many familiar faces. All were soldiers from the Blood Moon Pack. And Kass was standing among the crowd as well.
“Gamma Janet!” one soldier cried, “We are all here for you!”
“We miss you! Gamma Janet!”
Janet’s lips trembled. She missed this as well. To be with her own men.
“Thank you!” she said loudly, “Now. Let’s take down the bad guy!”
They all turned around and looked to their backs.
The rogue soldiers were gathered by the edge of the woods, glaring at them on full alert.
Lance stood at the front of the group.
