Chapter 102
“Can you run faster?!” Janice yelled over the howling wind.
She glanced back at Alessia to see she was still far behind.
Janice desired to stop, but she couldn’t. She knew what would become of her if she did.
Also, it was a matter of life and death, and they had been on the run for more than three hours or so. She didn’t know what the time was precisely, but according to her weary body, she knew it was more than that.
As soon as they were done packing, they attempted to sneak out, but it hadn’t been a fruitful one.
When she and Alessia had stepped out, they had met with the gangs from Alessia’s father. Unfortunately for them, a chip had been on Alessia that had been used to trace her location.
Janice had done the first thing on her mind as soon as she heard her father’s voice.
As they were still running, the gang was gaining on them; Janice wondered if she could outrun them if she tried harder.
She halted and heaved out a breath. Although it was the last thing she should be doing, she couldn’t let Alessia be caught. She couldn’t leave her alone!
Janice sprinted back towards Alessia.
“What the hell are you doing? Fucking save yourself!” Alessia yelled.
Janice grunted. “And leave you to be caught? Never!”
She gripped Alessia’s hand and yanked her forward. Both sprinted through the forest that was becoming darkened.
Alessia and Janice halted a few hours later; they were deep inside the darkened forest and didn’t know exactly where they were.
Janice’s ear perked up as she heard the rushing of water. She furrowed her brows and sniffed the air. “There’s a waterfall here.”
With wide eyes, Alessia swirled, glancing around. “I can’t swim. We are going to die!”
Janice nudged her and sighed. “We won’t.” She said firmly, cracking her knuckles.
“We need to face them off. That’s the only way to make them stop chasing us.”
Alessia shook her head frantically. They were with bullets. Silver bullets and wolfsbane. It was useless trying to fight off someone who could kill them instantly with a shot.
The gang from the Rosette empire were trained and barely missed a shot trained on their targets.
“Janice…” She began, but Janice shook her head.
“Just follow my lead, okay? You don’t need to fight.”
“As if I’ll watch and act pretty when you are being…”
“Nowhere to go?”
Janice’s eyes narrowed as the gangs burst into the opening they were in. Their guns were trained on her, and she tilted her hands in the air.
“Fucking don’t move, or I’ll blow off your brain!” A blond yelled, and Janice halted in her tracks.
She felt Alessia’s grip on her as well as felt her shuddering.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“I don’t want to die,” Alessia muttered again, and Janice gritted her teeth.
“I’m fucking trying to think. Can you be a little quieter?!”
The wind whistled, and leaves rustled around her. It was completely dark, a disadvantage for most of the gang since they couldn’t see in the dark and an advantage for Janice.
The full moon was not out, but she knew it was only a matter of time.
Janice thought of how she’d shift without getting shot, but nothing was forthcoming in her mind. Her head was blank, and she stared at the enemies before her.
They were a piece of cake if she could switch. She glanced at the sky again; The moon was out and full, just as she wanted it.
Janice tugged the elastic band holding her hair together, and she shook her hair out before letting out a low growl.
Alessia gasped, jumping away as she saw the change in her demeanour. She heard the snapping of muscles, and her eyes widened as she saw Janice crouched on the floor.
She was changing! Of course, she knew Janice was part of the De Luca werewolf before now, but she was startled as she hadn’t seen an actual werewolf shift until now.
She was mesmerised and couldn’t look away. A howl sounded from Janice as she tipped her head to the sky.
Alessia gasped as Janice turned to gaze at her with her glistering beautiful golden eyes. She was by far the most beautiful she-wolf she had seen. However, all the she-wolves she had seen were on television.
Staring at Janice this instant in her wolf form was enthralling. And somehow, Something weirdly builds within her.
Alessia didn’t know what it was, but she blushed as Janice stared at her.
From the corner of her eyes, she sighted guns pointed at Janice, and they were cocked. Soon after, a bullet came speeding towards them.
“Watch out!” Alessia yelled.
Janice turned and growled. She rushed towards the enemies, not minding if she could get hit.
The fight was in a blur, and Alessia could barely keep up with all the movement made. She also did her part to slam rocks into those creeping on Janice unexpectedly.
The fight ended a while later, and Janice shifted back to her human form, naked and shivering.
“Fuck, I have no alternative!” Janice grimaced as she stared at the ripped dress. She could wear her jeans because it was in better condition than her blouse- it was torn, and wearing it would make people wonder if she had come out from the asylum.
“Take this.”
Janice turned as Alessia extended her jacket towards her. She frowned and shook her head. “It’s cold, and you are in thin clothing.”
“You are in nothing.” Alessia reminded her and shoved the jacket into her hand. “You should put it on, and we must get out of here. I doubt we are free because I can hear more howls from afar.”
Janice heard it as well. She gripped the jacket and slipped into it. Instantly, Allesia’s scent infiltrated her nostrils.
Fuck, rose and cinnamon?
She furrowed her brows as she gazed at Alessia, and something unfurled within her. A weird feeling she couldn’t describe.
She stalked towards Alessia and gripped her hand. “Mate?!”
“What is that?” Allesia murmured, gaping as Janice’s eyes flashed a dangerous golden colour.
“You’re destined to be with me,” Janice said.
