I AM NOT LEAVING YOU

ZARA

We ran out of Anders' pack as quickly as possible without looking back. I touched my face where the alpha had punched me. He had scratched me with his claws as well and the pain had been sharp but my face had healed and I could feel my smooth skin when I touched it.

That was more than I could say for Anders who was slowing down due to the injury on his right belly. He was bleeding and it made me worry. I knew how dangerous it was for a lycan to push himself when he was injured.

Lycans needed to rest after severe injuries until their wounds had healed otherwise, they may not heal at the right time. Some unfortunate lycans had been known to spend months healing because they pushed themselves too hard when their injuries had not healed.

I stopped moving and stared at Anders. He wanted us to keep going but I took the bag he was holding and said, "your injury will not heal until morning and it's risky for you to keep running so fast with it. Let us hide somewhere for now, we can leave
