Chapter 296
Chapter 296
As everyone began to shift into their wolf forms, I took off running.
I ran fast, but to be honest, I didn’t have a plan. Still, I knew I couldn’t stay behind.
In the middle of a chaotic crowd of wild animals, I started to panic. If it were true that Tabby couldn’t control her wolf form, then maybe other animals couldn’t either. I realized I needed to find safety before things got worse.
I could hear the noise of everyone around me.
The stadium was filled with loud chanting, but I couldn’t bring myself to look over at the section where the Lycans were sitting. I knew he was there. I couldn’t help but wonder what they thought of me… running away from a fight.
But the truth was, I wasn’t actually running away.
I needed to get far away from the fight if I wanted to escape without getting hurt… or even alive.
I could hear the growling and snapping of jaws behind me. I wasn’t sure which wolf was Tabby, but I knew I had to keep running.
I could tell right away that the wolf closest to me wasn’t her. This wolf had light brown eyes with hints of green. Like many others, she was unique.
It was easy to tell the wolves apart by their auras and sizes. Each gender had its own distinct traits.
It had been a long time since I had seen wolves like these.
Since I transformed into my wolf in front of others, I wasn’t sure how big she was compared to me. I knew my wolf was white with grey paws. Nan said she was adorable, like she was wearing little mittens. She also had my eye color.
My heart raced as I looked at her.
My heart raced as I entered the wooded area. The battle zone was vast, with a large section of trees set aside for different challenges and training exercises. I knew there was a barrier I couldn’t cross, so I had to be careful about where I went.
As soon as the wolves surrounded me, I felt a mix of fear and excitement.
I found a tree to climb. Wolves aren’t very good at climbing; they can do it, but not as easily as humans. It takes them longer to scale a tree than it does for me. So, I knew this was my chance to escape.
I was a good distance away from them. A small group of wolves was chasing after me while the others stayed behind to fight among themselves. Some of the wolves even shifted back into their human forms to shout at me for being a coward. I didn’t want to stick around and find out what would happen next.
I knew some people might think I was a coward, but I understood that I had no chance in the middle of everything happening around me.
It felt better to focus on just a few people at a time. I wanted to connect with them and really see them…
I didn’t want them to see me. I worked best when I had the element of surprise. It didn’t take long for me to climb to the top of the tree. Once I reached the top, I could see the whole Battlezone spread out below me. I carefully picked my spot.
I looked for the tallest tree I could find, hoping to see everything from the drone’s point of view. As I stared up at it from the ground, I thought about how amazing it would be to see the world from the sky.
I could see the drones flying around. With their help, I could understand my surroundings much better and figure out what I was up against.
In the center of the arena, I spotted a few wolves fighting each other. One of the wolves looked hurt and was limping. To be honest, it was a tough sight to see.
I wasn’t sure if they were even moving. It felt like the wolf that was still attacking wasn’t human at all. They had lost all control over their animals, and now he was going wild.
I kept looking around at everyone and everything.
It was tough to understand who was in control among the wolves. I tried to figure out their fighting styles by looking at their sizes, stances, and how easily they could be provoked.
As I glanced down, I noticed a few wolves nearby.
I noticed that some wolves were following me. One of them was climbing a tree while the others were busy fighting each other. I heard a snarl and a yip from the wolf in the tree. She had pale blue eyes and her fur was white like snow.
The little brown patches on her head caught my eye. I had a bold plan in my mind, but I wasn’t sure if it would actually work. It could turn out to be amazing, or it might just be a disaster.

I felt like my plan might get me into serious trouble.
Gavin would be really angry, and I would have to sit through a boring lecture from Nan. This plan would only work if my wolf cooperated, but right now, she seemed a bit anxious.
“We can do this…” I whispered to her, hoping she understood me.
“I need you right now. I need you to trust me so I can trust you. We were a team for so long…”
Inside me, there was a sense of calm. I felt the corners of my lips twitching into a smile. With that smile, I knew we could find our way back to each other.
Taking a deep breath, I waited for the wolf to come a little closer. When it did, I reached up and grabbed the branch above me. I held onto it for support as I tried to shift my weight onto the end of the branch I was standing on. I needed to be careful not to lose my balance.
The branch bent down low under pressure. I felt like I was almost offering myself up to this shifter. It was a tense moment, and I could sense the danger surrounding me.
