Chapter 191
“Second trap down.”
“How many do you think we’ve taken down?” I asked quietly.
“At least thirty, maybe more. They can’t have a huge group. Not unless they combined with another group. Still, their numbers are impressive,” Hades muttered.
“But will this be enough to seriously lessen them?” I said, looking at him worriedly.
“Honey, don’t question yourself. You’ve done all you can. This whole setup, this whole traps thing was because of you. You thought of this, and so far the pack has been safe. No one is hurt. By the time they make it here, their forces will have dwindled. That in itself is giving us an advantage,” he told me, his eyes glinting.
I marvelled at how calm he was. I was skilled at fighting but I’d only ever fought against a handful of opponents at a time. If a large group attacked at once, it was highly probable that I could be hurt or even killed. I also worried about Aeress but she’d been stubborn and insisted on fighting to save the pack, despite all our objections. She refused to let her mate fight alone and I could understand it.
Shouts and screams sounded from the forest, and a lot of swearing. Clearly, this was not going as the hunters had anticipated. I smirked, waiting for the next trap. It was close. I could smell them coming closer, trying not to crinkle my nose at the disgusting smell of them drifting towards me. Their scent was repulsive, but I could also smell the fear radiating from them. They were frightened and didn’t know what to expect next. Too bad we weren’t done with them yet.
