Chapter 80 Rescue
Thea followed her senses until she came upon a man dragging and beating what looked like an eight-year- old girl.
Thea didn't slow down.
She jumped and tackled the man, clamping her jaw around his neck before he noticed her.
She reached into the man’s brain and synced his waves with the sleeping rhythms.
He passed out on the ground under Thea, and she released his neck.
She used her snout to nudge the gir], telling her to run.
Then Thea took off toward where she felt the other people.
She could sense the border, and when she spotted them, they were only feet from it—two wolves dragging two young girls.
She growled to get the wolves’ attention.
They turned to look, which gave Thea the extra second she needed to reach one before he stepped into his pack’s land.
She clamped onto his tail and pulled him back a few feet.
He let go of the little girl and tumed to attack Thea.
Thea had pissed him off by going for his tail.
Wolves hated anything messing with their tails.
She backed up a few paces, pretending to be scared.
The other wolf let go of its human and faced Thea.
I “Good,” she thought.
“Come closer to me, farther from the border.” “Where are you?” the triplets mind linked her.
She blocked them out to focus on the fight.
One of the wolves leaped at her, and Thea sidestepped it.
The wolf landed and slid several feet.
Before Thea had the chance to put it to sleep the other wolf attacked, and Thea spun her body out of the way.
It didn't hesitate to lunge at her again.
She couldn't concentrate enough to put him to sleep.
She had to focus on evading him.
“Go for his throat,” Zoe said.
The wolf faked left then went right, but Thea anticipated the deception.
She got the right angle and sunk her teeth into its neck.
She had him, but the first wolf was coming up behind her.
She scratched at its face with her back paws.
It stepped back out of the way of her claws.
Thea took the moment to put the one in her jaws to sleep.
Now she could concentrate.
She turned to the awake one.
As they circled each other she reached into his brain and put him to sleep.
She shifted back to her human form.
She went to the girls and helped them stand.
They were bleeding from their arms where the wolves had dragged them with their teeth.
They were covered in dirt, and their hair looked like it had never been brushed.
“Are you okay?” Thea said, inspecting their wounds.
They weren't fatal.
They'd be fine until they got back to New Dawn and the doctor saw them.
“Yeah,” they said.
“!’m Thea.
What are your names?” “Cassandra.” “Arella.” “Cassandra, Arella, we'll get out of here faster if you ride on my back.
Do you think you can hang on? Do you have the strength right now?” Thea said.
“I think so,” Cassandra said.
Arella nodded.
“Have you ever ridden a wolf before?” Thea said.
“No.” “Climb onto my back.
Grab onto my fur and hold tight.
You got this.
Come on.
We need to hurry,” Thea said.
Thea shifted back to her wolf form, got down, and the girls helped each other climb onto her back.
When they were gripping her fur tight, Thea took off.
She felt out into the woods to see if there were any other people left.
The girl she saved earlier was still working her way out of the woods.
She went to her and hunched down.
“Ophelia, climb on,” Arella said.
“It's her.” They helped the other girl climb on, and Thea took off again.
A few of the Delta team wolves and Caleb came upon her.
