Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 67

Three ferocious and tawny-maned wolves stood tall, and their teeth bared as they faced off their enemies with alertness. They were lean and muscular. From a distance, they looked like a cross between wolves and foxes, but they were nothing like the wolves most people know. Their terrifying howls echoed through the silent night, a clear warning to their foes.

"What should I do? What should I do now?" Hedy panicked, clutching onto the man in front of her. Her sharp and long nails nearly scratched his arm.

The man, dressed in camouflage and standing tall, furrowed his brows. As a soldier, he knew he shouldn't be rude to a woman, but the woman behind him was simply too annoying. He was on the verge of pushing her away.

"Cool it and stay behind me," he said coldly.

Then, he turned to another man, "Mr. Reed, you too. You've lost your team. Let me handle this."

Egbert, with his icy gaze and calm demeanor, was staring at the trio of towering wolves. He didn't even lift his head as he said, "I'm good."

"Stop being so stubborn, get over here. Watch out!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the tallest wolf from the group suddenly lunged at Egbert.

The soldier was taken aback and was about to rush forward to help, but he found himself immobilized. Hedy was clinging onto his waist, yelling, "You can't leave. You have to protect me! You can't abandon me!"

"Let go, he's in danger!" The soldier struggled to free himself from Hedy's grip, only to find her suddenly kneeling down and clinging to his leg instead.

"Do you know who I am? If I get hurt, my father won't let you off!"

The soldier was truly angered now.

He grabbed Hedy's clothes, ready to push her away.

Just then, the other two wolves lunged at him. His legs were restricted, and he couldn't dodge. His right arm and left leg were instantly seized by the wolves!

"Ah!" He cried out in pain.

Seeing this, Hedy turned pale with fear and immediately let him go.

Finally free, but it was too late. The wolves had already torn the flesh on his arm and leg. They were even trying to reach for his neck, aiming to bite through his throat.

Just when the soldier thought he was going to die right there, two thuds were heard. The wolves attacking him suddenly went limp and backed away.

Covered in blood, he looked up to see two folding knives embedded in the hind legs of the wolves. The knives had gone deep; the wolves were seriously injured and bleeding.

Looking towards a nearby tree, he saw Egbert balancing on a tree trunk, his gaze sharp, his body leaning forward in a military offensive posture. Clearly, one of the knives was thrown by him.

But the other one?

Just then, he heard a noise from behind.

Turning around, he saw a petite figure in a camouflage suit swiftly blocking him.

The girl's face was a little dirty, but it didn't hide her stunning beauty.

Her expression was cold, and in her hand was a hemp rope. She was staring intently at the three injured wolves.

"Are you okay?" Her voice carried with it the moistness of the rainforest night.

The soldier stared at the not-so-tall but extremely brave figure in front of him. His cheeks flushed, and he stuttered, "I'm fine."

"I'm good," came a response from the man on the tree.

"That's good. Stay there, and don't come down. Don't distract me."

The soldier was instantly embarrassed. It turned out she was talking to Mr. Reed, but what did she mean by that?

Before he could figure it out, the girl in front of him suddenly moved.

She threw the hemp rope, which danced in the air like a whip. When it landed, it powerfully split the three wolves apart!

Her movements were swift and her actions decisive. With a cold expression, she launched a fierce attack on the three wolves!

The scene that followed left the soldier flabbergasted!
