WebNovelChapter 0397 My sight, with my wolf now, is clearer. I can see everything with clear vision, even at this distance. My heart sinks when the naive hope that it was a handful of rogues disappears. It's a swarm, an invasion of fully kitted gun bearing hunters. Our wolves are taking them down but not quick enough...bullets are being fired as a line of hunters stand at the back shooting randomly into the crowd of wolves. More screams hitthrough the pack link that I keep trying to suppress. I need to be there, I can take them all down with ease and still maintain a safe distance.
Mum hasn't shifted yet. She is among only a few that remain still in human form. Dad, Jaxon and Jace in wolf form, as is Knox.
Why isn't Mum shifting...
I scream in panic as she is knocked to the ground by a bullet, my heart racing...that's it I need to be there. I can feel she is safe, that it is a skin surface wound but I can't just stay and wait. Watch my family fight, I need to do something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI move away from the window, rushing out of their bedroom door...my hand on the stair railing just as the front door is kicked in with a brute force. Holding my gasp, I take a step back out of view as four figures covered in complete black attire step into the house, their guns raised in front of them preparing to take aim.
My heart pounds uncontrollably in my chest as I reach behind my back to take my gun out of my waistband. Holding it firmly within my grip. These bastards that have entered into my house will not leave alive. They have entered their own tombs.
I need to act now, before they cup the stairs.
Trying to calm the rising adrenaline inside of me, I take a step forward, preparing to ambush them as they have divided in order to scout out the lower level, when Jaxon pushes into my mind. "Josie?" "Jaxon?" "What's wrong?" He growls out as he must be continuing to fight whilst also mind-linking me.
"They are in the house." I whisper back, I can't help it...I'm being mindful not to make any noise even when they can't hear the mind-link.
"Hide!" "I have my gun." "Josie NO!" He orders out atbut I cut the link...he won't be able to get here in time. None of them will, and I don't need them to. I've got my gun, I've got my wolf. I can fight.
I slowly move down the stairs, my gun at point in my hands as I scan the hallway. One is standing at the alpha office door trying to knock it down.
He has his back to me...he'll never seecoming. He can't even hearcreep up behind him...they must be human.
He's wearing a black helmet but with his back to me, the nape of his neck is exposed. Human or not, no one can survive a silver bullet to the head or neck.
With a steadying deep breath in...I shoot, hitting him in the back of the neck, his body immediately collapsing to the ground. The silencer on my gun taking the bang out but I hear another nearby.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere's a scuffle, one of the kitchen island benches being knocked over, one of them giving their position away as they watch their comrade fall.
I move to the opposite side of the hallway... readying for one to step into the hallway. And he does.
I push his gun to the ground, where he fires and shoots himself in his own foot. He collapses to the ground, exposing his neck to me...I take aim... That's two down. The other two aren't upstairs, so they must be in the dining room or in the back garden.
I move to the sitting room, preparing to wait them out. They've cto kill, ve they can at least work for it.
I crouch down behind one of the so sofas, my hearing beings a strong now that can hear their heart beats.
