Chapter Seventy Five.

Sapphire's POV.

The werewolf hot, rank breath washed over me, and I felt a primal instinct to back away, to flee from this monstrous creature. But my feet seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move as I was in shock!

I didn't know such creatures existed on earth~in reality. Yes, I had read stories and novels of such mythical creatures, but I had believed they were not real. I believed that they were just fairy tales~fictions written In books.

So seeing Jaguar shift into a werewolf means that everything I read about them~~~everything, every one of it was true but at the same it was challenging to digest as I staggered backward, away from the terrifying creature, my lips trembled as I set my hand forward to stop it, gulping.

“S-stay away. Stay… away~from me, Jaguar,” I stammered, terrified and taking several steps away from it.

Jaguar growled louder at me this time, his fierce glaring down at me like a predator and his four paws taking slow but long strides towards me as I backed away from him until I felt something blocking my path from behind.

I turned and saw that it was another werewolf, high and tall, towering over me.

“Jeremy?” I shivered. He had also transformed into a beastly werewolf. My heart hammered in my chest, rasp breaths coming out of my lips as I struggled to breathe.

“Did you think you could get away from us by using your childish defense method? You're damned wrong if that was what you thought, little bitch,” Jeremy said to me, his eyes glowing down at me with excitement, my heart beat racing faster as I searched from the side of the eyes how to escape from the both of them.

I was trapped between them. Jaguar at my back and Jeremy in front. My breath hitched, my body and hands trembling at my sides~chest heaving up and down heavily as my palm felt sweaty.

Bitting hard on my lip, I steadied my heartbeat, getting ready to slip out from between them.

“You are ours for tonight, little rascal,” Jaguar growled, raising his paws to me and that was the exact chance I couldn't afford to miss!

I slipped out from underneath him the moment he raised his paws, running In the direction that led me back home as far and fast as I could. If only my leg could reach the back of my head, then I would say that was me right now.

My slippers slipped out of the under of my foot in the process of escaping, but I didn't mind neither did I stop until a claw suddenly reached out to me, it's sharp nails tearing the arms of my dress as it threw me to the ground carelessly, and I shrieked from the pain as my back hit the streetlamps with a thud.

A sharp pain shot through my spine, tears clouding my eyes, but my focus wasn't on the pain because Jaguar and Jeremy was already closing up on me, taking up their time as they approached me with a predatory gaze blaring down on me.

My eyes filled with terror, “No, no, no. Not again. I can't let them get to me” I whispered with harsh breaths.

I had to get away from them. I needed to call out for help even though the chances of anyone coming out to save from such big bad wolves was thin, but I knew I needed to give it a try.

Crawling backwards with my butt against the pavement, I was terrified, trembling out of fright as I stared up at them, “G-get away from me. Someone help! Help me, please. Save me from them, please,” I cried, tears rolling down my cheeks as I felt a stinging pain nestled on my shoulder with blood dripping.

Jaguar's thunderous voice sent shivers down my spine. “No one would help you, little rascal. No one would dare come to save you from us. You are ours to take, you hear me! You are ours!”

But I refused to listen. I scrambled to my feet, screaming for help at the top of my lungs. “Someone, please help me! Anybody!” I cried, desperate to escape.

Jaguar's response was a deafening roar. “I warned you, bitch! Stop running! Why don't you ever listen." He charged towards me, his powerful legs propelling him forward.

I didn't stop running, but the ground beneath my feet began to reverberate, and I stumbled, falling hard onto the floor. As I whipped my head around, I saw Jaguar and Jeremy closing in on me, their sharp claws extended, ready to strike.

But just as all hope seemed lost, the sound of roaring bike engines filled the air. I looked up, and my eyes widened in shock as a massive white wolf leapt into the air, its long, pointy fangs bared. With deadly precision, the wolf bit off Jeremy's head, and then Jaguar's, their bodies crumpling to the ground as blood splattered everywhere.

I stared, frozen in horror, as the majestic white wolf turned to face me. Its golden eyes gleamed with a fierce inner light, and I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

I had seen those eyes before, but where? Who? The wolf's intense gaze seemed to draw me in, like a moth to a flame, and I felt an unsettling attraction to it.

As the wolf approached me, its precise steps seemed almost… cautious. It was as if it didn't want to scare me, despite its intimidating presence. The wolf's eyes reminded me of someone I had sworn to hate, yet couldn't help but feel drawn to.

Aleric. The name whispered in my mind, but I pushed it aside. It couldn't be.

The wolf stopped right before me, its towering height making me feel small and vulnerable.

But instead of attacking me, it stared down at me softly, its eyes filled with a deep, piercing warmth. And then, in an instant, the wolf dissolved into a being.

A being with piercing golden eyes that was imprinted into my eyes, tattooed arms, dark damp hair that fell loosely over his face and chiseled features.

“Aleric?” I whispered, my voice trembling with shock.
