I growl. The front liners are hot on our tails.

"Dad, you and Dean go ahead. I'll distract them." I mind link my father.

"Are you crazy?! Leighton, you'll get killed!" he growls back.

"I won't, dad! And you know damn as well as I do that Dean has to be taken to a doctor! Human or not!" I yell from our connection at my father who was already running ahead of me, carrying Dean, my unconscious brother, on his back. "I can take care of myself! I still have witch blood in me!"

He growls in my head before running the fastest he ever has. I quickly stop in my tracks and turn around to face the front lining wolves, shifting back to human form.

Unlike all those stories humans have told, werewolves actually don't rip our clothes when we shift.

"Natrakia extempra drevesch!" I yell, making the trees bend and the grass grow taller. However they broke through the small barrier I was making. "Shit!"

I run once more, this time in my human form, racking my brain for more spells to use.

"Arachnis!" I yell, making gigantic spiders pop from the ground, attacking the front lining soldiers. I feel a sharp pain at my neck and I gasp, immediately feeling the wolfsbane seep into my skin from the dart they shot at me. I trip on a tree root, making me scrape my knees.

The wolves circle around me, making sure I won't escape. I pull the dart out of my neck and wince, trying my best to ignore the pain. "Tuanis. Tuanis. Evetra Tuanis." I mumble to myself, forcing the infected blood to move out of the hole the dart made.

"Ah, so we finally caught you." I hear the familiar voice of Alpha Yulric snicker as he moves closer to me. "You're the witch, Evelyn?"

I scoff as I continue to mutter the spell. He growls at my disrespect and grabs me by my neck, making me yelp.

"Is your name really Evelyn Waters?!" he demands. I choke on his grip as he pins me to a tree by my neck. "I demand you to tell me where your family is hiding!"

I spit in his face. I need to stop healing. This is a good enough amount. I have to get away from this.

He growls and wipes my spit from his face using his sleeve. His grip tightens on my throat, his claws lengthening. Yep, definitely no time to heal.

I claw at his hand trying to get some air. "Evictame." I whisper.

Trees suddenly whip to life. The branches elongating and sweeping away soldier wolves. Alpha Yulric's eyes widen at his soldier's misfortune, leaving me an opportunity to kick his gut, making him groan and fall a bit backward, releasing me from his grip. I shift into my wolf before quickly running away.

I was away from the shouts now, my neck bleeding from the claws since he dragged his claws on my neck when I pushed him.

I sense a presence behind me and I look to see the Beta, Hudson, chasing after me in his wolf form. I growl and run faster.

He suddenly pounces as we near a cliff, making me yelp in shock. He would sacrifice his life, just so he could kill me?!

We roll at the impact, and before we knew it, I was thrown off the cliff, him, kicking me out at the right moment.

I shift back into human form, my eyes wide. "Drunwoq! Drunwoq, drunwoq, drunwoq!" I scream as I free fall.

The water seems to obey as it moves to where I'm supposed to land instead of the rocks and stones of the beach. I land on my back, painfully since the water wasn't fast enough, knocking the air out of me. This makes the Beta gaze down at me. I immediately act dead to get them off of my trail. He nods, proud that he managed to kill me, before running off.
