Chapter 333

**Chapter 0333**

Sherri and a few others started cutting the meat off the deer. They used tools they had made by gathering supplies from foraging. I was surprised at how quickly they created such useful tools. We had…

We had only been there for a couple of hours, but we were already making good progress.

Suddenly, a howl in the distance caught our attention. I quickly stood up, staring in the direction where the birds had just flown away from. The sound of the howl was eerie and made the hairs on my neck stand up.

I could hear distress in their voices, and my heart raced in my chest.

Without waiting for anyone else, I quickly took off my clothes and transformed into my wolf. I heard Tabby calling my name, but I was already too far away to respond.

I was running into the forest, my wolverine feet pounding against the dirt and grass around me as we rushed toward the sound. All I could think about was that something was wrong and someone might be in serious trouble.

As I got closer, I saw one of my teammates surrounded by a few wolves from another team. It was three against one, and it felt completely unfair.

I noticed my teammate had a red flag in his mouth. He had found the second flag.

The other wolves were trying to take something from him.

“It must have been near their campsite,” I thought to myself.

Before the wolves could attack, I jumped in front of them.

They were surprised by my sudden appearance.

For a brief moment, I felt powerful when I bit into the neck of the biggest one. He yelped and quickly threw me off his back. I hit the ground hard, feeling a jolt of pain as I landed. I winced but tried to get back up.

I got up quickly. This gave my teammates the chance to grab the flag and run away. They raced back to our campsite, leaving me to defend myself.

Suddenly, three wolves began circling around me, growling menacingly. I growled back at them, spinning around to face the threat.

I could see them all around me, and none of them could sneak up on me from behind. But it felt impossible to escape with them circling me.

At that moment, I felt like a small puppy.

One of them nipped at my back legs, but

I managed to get away from them before they could get any closer.

Suddenly, one of them swiped his claws toward me. I felt the sting of the claw marks on my wolf’s face, causing her to huff in pain.

Then, another wolf lunged at me.

I stumbled as one of the wolves knocked me off balance. At the same time, another wolf grabbed my throat with its sharp teeth, squeezing tightly until I struggled to breathe.

Suddenly, one of the wolves transformed back into a human. He was holding a sharp rock, a tool he must have crafted himself.

I found myself holding something tightly against my throat.

“Shift,” he commanded, his voice cold and threatening.

I wanted to say no, but my wolf was weak. It gave in almost immediately.

I transformed back into my human form.

Blood dripped down my neck.

“Give me your white flag and surrender,” he commanded, pressing the blade against my throat.

“No,” I replied, my voice shaky and filled with pain, my teeth stained with blood.

Blood continued to trickle down my neck as the blade grazed my skin.

“Then I guess we’ll just have to kill you and take it,” he said through clenched teeth.

Suddenly, a loud growl echoed nearby, and I realized I was no longer alone. Another wolf stepped out from the shadows.

The wolves arrived in the forest within seconds and quickly took down the man with the blade. With their sharp teeth, they attacked his throat, tearing him apart and killing him almost instantly.

The other wolves watched in shock and confusion, unsure of what had just happened.

The wolf that saved me turned on them and growled fiercely in their faces, making them stagger back.

It all happened so quickly that I could barely understand what was going on.

This wolf was huge and female. I had never seen anything like her before.

I had never seen a female wolf so big before. Her fur was a beautiful jet black, and she had a strong presence that was more powerful than anything I had ever felt.

I didn’t recognize her as part of my team, which was what confused me the most. She seemed out of place, yet her aura was undeniable.

She wasn’t part of their team, which made me wonder if she could be the third team member. Maybe she wanted to kill me herself.

The other wolves quickly left; her presence was overwhelming, and it made them step back.

I felt an immediate impact. I wasn’t the only one affected by her presence.

The group quickly took off.

The wolf turned to face me, her eyes locking onto mine. They felt strangely familiar. I sensed a connection to her, something deeper… like we shared a bond.

I recognized her from somewhere.

I flinched as she stepped closer to me, tilting her head slightly to get a better look at my injury. For a moment, I almost forgot that my throat had been bitten and that blood was trickling down my neck. She leaned in closer, and I could sense her concern.

I closed my eyes, expecting to feel her teeth bite into me. But instead, I felt her warm tongue gently licking the wound on my neck. It was surprising, but it felt soothing and almost healed the cut right away.

Her breath brushed against my skin, and I took a moment to soak it all in. It was a strange mix of fear and comfort, and I wasn’t sure what to think.

I took a sharp breath as I ran my fingers over my neck, checking for any sign of the wound. To my surprise, there was nothing there. It had completely healed in just seconds.

When I opened my eyes, the wolf was gone…

I was alone.
