The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 270

Sylvia's POV:

I struggled to balance Rufus on my back as I ran into the forest desperately, with pursuers close behind me.

The sun was dipping in the horizon, and it started to drizzle, which only made it more difficult to run along the perilous mountain road.

I was soaked to my bones. The rain fell relentlessly on the wound on my back, like tiny bullets, causing more severe pain.

Gritting my teeth, I did my best to ignore the pain and concentrated on finding a way out. Just then, a strong gust of wind started blowing against me, bringing with it dead leaves and dirt. Something went in my eye, distracting me from an obstacle in front of me. I tripped and stumbled, rolling down the mountain slope.

I held Rufus tightly in my arms and didn't stop until I rammed into a big tree, knocking the wind out of my lungs.

I gasped for air desperately. Lying on the ground, I found I couldn't get up. The pain in my back was so intense that it felt as though my bones were broken and reshuffled.

I could hear the pursuers getting closer and closer. I braced myself and tried to get on my feet, but I fell back on the ground. I couldn't even stand straight.

I wanted to run, but Yana was completely exhausted. I had no choice but to return to my human form.

The pursuers made it to the hillside above me. If they just looked down, they would've seen Rufus and me.

Just as I was about to lose hope, a deafening wolf howl pierced the sky. Then, a giant grey wolf with mixed fur showed up, closely followed by its subordinate wolves.

It was Rin!

I cried out in pleasant surprise. Rin glanced at me, wagged its tail and greeted me briefly. Then it led the group of wolves to block the pursuers.

The pursuers seemed to be stunned and chaos broke loose.

"Where the hell did these wild wolves come from? Damn it! It's biting my leg! Help me get rid of this wolf!"

"Help! We're outnumbered! We don't stand a chance!"
