My Alpha Mate's Christmas Gift novel Chapter 111

　　“Huff… Huff…” Roxanne breathed heavily.

　　Blood had already stained her body, but she didn't mind. The red hue dripped from her sharp claws and fell upon the snowy ground, but Roxanne didn't care for that. Her eyes remained transfixed on the Hunters.

　　Currently, they had left everyone else and they all gathered around Roxanne, seeing as the only major threat left to them. They numbered in dozens, too much for her to care by herself.

　　She had killed quite a great deal of them, but they still persisted. She was slowly tiring, and her exhausted state became evident with her strained breathing. Transformation took a great deal of energy, and even though it wasn’t full, she was in partial form.

　　She had not eaten anything for a long period, plus she just woke up. Roxanne was nowhere near her top form, so her stamina was entirely bottom line.

　　That was supposed to be the case, but unexpectedly, she had held out for an unbelievable amount of time. Even Rita was surprised by how long she maintained her form. Roxanne stood in front of Rita, who was still healing from the injuries she had received.

　　Rita, now in human form, could do nothing but helplessly watch Roxanne defend her while she healed up.

　　“Shit, the Wolfsbane is making my recovery slower! I should have been healed by now!” Rita thought.

　　Yet, she couldn’t do anything but leave everything to Roxanne. How much longer could she keep it up? Could she hold out until she fully recovered? Even if she did, Rita wasn't confident she could face so many Hunters at once, especially when she was still being affected by wolfsbane.

　　"There are still dozens of them… How did they get there… Just how many are there?"

　　“Grrrrrrr” Roxanne growled.

　　"Shoot it down!" One Hunter commanded. Clearly, he was the leader.

　　He stayed behind the tightly locked formation of the Hunters. Roxanne couldn’t get him without going through the fodder.

　　“Huff… Huff..”

　　She had long passed her limits, and she wasn’t sure why she was still holding out. Everything looked bleak.

　　Her head became fuzzy, and she began to lose consciousness. The images in front of her became blurry, and her body swayed, even though she tried to stay upright.

　　The Hunters readied their aim and prepared to fire. Any moment from now she would be riddled with holes and die, was this the end of the very short while she spent with the people she had grown to love? Roxanne couldn’t think straight anymore.

　　“Rarhhhh” She raged.

　　She took hurried steps and slid underneath them as they fired, missing her entirely. Using her hands and legs, she front-flipped, slashing the Hunters closest to her.

　　“Uaghhh” They let out in pain.

　　After she had killed more, she leaped back and felt lightheaded. She crumbled on the floor, kneeling weakly. Her body wobbled and she could hardly support her body anymore. Her wolf aspects began to disappear, merging back with her skin as she reverted back to her human form.
