Chapter 0083
Crack.
The bottom of the bow snapped from the pressure. What kind of weakly made –?
The boar jerked its head toward me, alerted now of my presence.
I was behind the tree but Silver was mostly exposed.
The boar kicked out the ground. It was going to charge!
“Silver, run!” I rushed from my cover to push the wolf into action. I wouldn’t see her get hurt, not if there
was something I could do about it.
The boar rushed forward, tusks first. With a horrible squealing noise, it tore through the underbrush,
twigs and leaves snapping underfoot.
Silver darted to the side, but I was too slow. The boar was coming right for me.
The boar was fast, but Silver was faster. She lunged at the boar, colliding with its side. It veered off
course, missing me by a few mere inches as I rolled out of the way.
Silver rushed back to me. She nosed at my side and helped me up onto my feet. As I put weight on my
ankle, I winced. I must have twisted it. I wouldn’t be able to run like this.
“You have to go, Silver. I’ll climb a tree or something. I’ll be okay,”
The stubborn wolf absolutely refused to move from my side. Instead, it leaned its head back and howled.
Calling for help? I wasn’t sure.
The boar faced us again. It huffed and dug both feet into the dirt. It was going to charge again.
With her howling done, Silver lowered her ears. A growl erupted from her throat.
The boar, monstrous and angry, didn’t seem to care.
It shot forward like a bat out of hell.
I tried to move, but my ankle shot blinding hot pain through my leg. I stumbled. The boar redirected its
course, continuing right for me.
Silver darted forward.
A second arrow immediately followed the first. Alm true, it felled the creature. The boar collapsed, dead.
“Piper,” Nicholas said when he breeched the tree line. Julian was close behind him. Their wolf companions bounded forward, stopping to meet Silver. They pressed their muzzles together.
