Chapter 206
She almost felt back for the boar, who’d have no idea what was coming for them. A predator like a werewolf likely never graced this island. Probably wouldn’t ever grace this island again once they were
gone.
Elaine used a tree to struggle up to her feet. She had less mobility now with the splint, and it was already bothering her, yet she knew it was beneficial to have to heal quicker.
She moved out onto the beach, her gaze drifting over the water and toward that wreckage along the reef. If they wanted out of here, Lucas‘ idea of getting a radio wasn’t half bad.
They just needed a way to get out there.
Elaine had lost track of time after the first thirty minutes. She waited by the fire, working on cracking open another coconut, which she was starting to think was more effort than it was worth, when she heard it.
The cracking of tree branches and something heavily being dragged over brushes and stones.
She sat back, leaning against her hands, and watched with a flicker of amusement as Lucas‘ gray furred canine form came padding out from the jungle.
The massive werewolf dropped the body of a large boar on the ground, streaks of red over his muzzle. He huffed triumphantly, standing tall as his ears pricked forward. Elaine gave him a show of clapping before lowering her hands.
“That was over an hour,” she said. “You lose.”
Lucas growled, the sound rumbling up from his throat. He padded toward her and shoved his muzzle into her chest, knocking her backward in the sand.
A surprise laugh left her as she rolled over to get up, struggling with the splint. Lucas took a step back, sitting in the sand to watch her. She straightened up, and nearly fell over.
Her hands cartwheeled at her sides to regain balance, and as she stumbled, her hand fell into his. Back in human form, Lucas stood there, catching her gently and helping her find her balance with the splint.
“Real funny,” Elaine chided.
Lawas just turned away from her with a smile. “I seem to think so.”
“You still lost”
“Oh really? You said you waited an hour for the boar to arrive. But how long until you’d dragged it back here? Two? Four” Lucas asked.
Elassic crossed her armus “Not you’re just being petty”
“We’ll call at a draw “Lucas grabbed the hoar by its leg and pulled it close to the fire
“Allah, you’re on best hest “Lucas sald
