Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 691

I am willing to abandon all my life's hard work, dedication and reputation in an instant, if it can protect you and keep you away from harm's way! --by Brian

Everyone went numb and still in the face of sheer terror and horror.

Everyone least expected and thought that Molly would show up right when the Black Wolf was strolling outside, anxiously yet carefully looking for his next prey. The long stretches of time he spent chained behind the bars of a cage, the special training he received since he was a puppy, made the dog extremely ferocious and aggressive in nature. But beyond all of this, he was also a loyal dog, who cared so much for his master Brian. If he saw anyone new appear next to Brian, his protectiveness went into overdrive, and he would jump into defense as this stranger was a danger. This being said, there were high chances that upon seeing Molly standing there out in the open, defenseless, he would pounce on her and attack her ferociously to eliminate the danger.

The guards were petrified as they knew what lay beyond the darkness. At this point, they entirely forgot that the Black Wolf was Brian's favorite pet. They just knew that they would be in so much trouble if anything bad would happen to Molly, and with such a precarious situation they would rather risk sacrificing the dog than letting Brian's girl be in harm's way. With that thought, they pulled out their weapons and prepared to shoot down the canine.

However, the Black Wolf was a military grade trained dog who knew how to slide out of such situations. The moment the bullet was fired out, he instantly changed tracks and dodged the bullet, and right then when the guards least expected it with a giant leap, he swooped down on Molly, who tumbled over backward with the dog's strong paws pushing her down towards the ground. The man panicked as he stumbled upon the trigger hurriedly for a second shot. However right that instant, his eyes fell upon the dog and he noticed a rather different tone in the dog's attitude. So before his finger could pull the trigger, as a sense of doubt clouded his judgment, he quickly made a decision and with fear he pulled the trigger, unaware of the outcome. With a loud noise, the bullet made way through the thick air, passed the beast and rammed into the wall behind them.

Utterly terrified, Molly closed her eyes and cried out hysterically and helplessly in fear not knowing what was happening. It was all too fast for her to comprehend anything.

She felt the canine's heightened heavy breath on her face, and within a few seconds, his sticky yet foul smelling drool drooped all over her face. She gasped helplessly to catch a breath as she drowned in fear. However, after some time, there was no indication of a violent attack, no sign of any merciless bite or even the dog's furious yet intimidating snarls. After what felt like a long time, she gathered herself and with a leap of faith, she decided to open her eyes slowly. The giant dog's fluffy head was all over her face. She got scared as she realized that he was at least four to five times bigger than her.

With hopes of receiving some help and being rescued, she cried out loudly with all her strength. She felt weak as though she would faint any second owing to the gripping fear of the terrifying beast. At this moment, she felt like she had never been this scared in her life.

With blank expressions, the men motionlessly stared at Molly and the black wolf, not knowing how to handle the situation. Right then, they stood there without any expressions just gawking at the two, wondering whether they should take out the dog or just wait a little longer to see how he behaves. But from what they could sense from the dog's gestures, it did not seem like he intended to harm Molly.

Meanwhile, the Black Wolf put his huge paws generously all across her body lovingly, his big and round eyes were keenly glued to Molly who still continued screaming in terror. After a few seconds, he looked up, with hollow and confused eyes, to express his confusion and bafflement at her scream.

All of the men stood still, staring at the dog full of confused look on their faces. They knew that the Black Wolf was a spiritual animal. He had always been loyal to his owner: Brian. He also never attacked any of his men. Yet also, before this, he had never fawned over anyone other than Brian as well. Judging from his movement at the moment, it was more like a friendly gesture, an almost slave-like fawning than a malicious attack.

After a moment's pause, the Black Wolf growled lightly and looked down at her again. And Molly, although still in her panic and fright, her voice gradually tailed off into a small moan. Seeing her still gripped by uneasiness, the dog made a voice that sounded sad and full of chagrin as he started rubbing his giant head on her cheek. Surprised by his gesture, she did not dare to move. She just lay there, still not knowing what the dog intended to do. As if he had noticed her fright, the dog stopped his motion. For a moment, he just looked down and growled softly at her, just like a small kid who was seeking comfort from his mother after being bullied.
