Chapter 52: Chapter 52

“Athan, can you hear me? Please wake up!”

No response.

It’s been over 15 minutes, and I didn’t know when David will come back. Tears ran down my cheek, I didn’t know what to do. He looked like he was dying, and all I could do was sit there and watch. I leaned on him miserably and whispered to him: “Please… I’m not ready to lose you yet…”

Perhaps when you are in an extreme situation, you will magically get smarter. I suddenly recalled something I have seen one when I was a little girl!

I put my wrist to my mouth, biting through my veins and pointing the bleeding wound to Athan's mouth. It was many, many years ago. I once saw a dying werewolf warrior. The healer of our pack fed him wolf blood in an emergency situation and successfully woke him up.

I stared at Athan and prayed to the moon goddess...

A few seconds later, with a loud inhalation sound, Athan opened his eyes! I almost couldn’t believe it worked! I kissed his cheek with joy and it was great that I didn't lose him.

“K…Katherine, are you okay? Did they…” He asked eagerly, but was interrupted by an intense cough.

“I’m okay, they left because someone broke in, I think it’s your people!”I responded to him with a smile. But Athan didn’t get excited by this news, he shook his head and said: “it won’t be easy for them to break through David’s army, I’m afraid he will kill us in a hurry and force my people to surrender. Before I told Markus and my gamma to wait for my command, but when I got knocked out the must panicked and directly invaded.”

It wasn't until then that I realized that David Hunter never intended to let us live until tomorrow, and the fact that Athan's pack came to rescue him would only make him kill us faster!

“Come on, Athan, we don’t have much time!”

Athan was using his teeth to break the rope tied to my wrist, and he told me that we are on our own.

“Katherine, before he comes back, I need to tell you something.” Athan’s eyes were full of tenderness, and I stopped him: “let me go first. I care about you, Athan, with all my heart.”

He was stunned, and soon his eyes were covered with tears, and his slightly parted lips trembled: “Katherine…”

I stroke his face and kissed his lips, and nodded to him: “I’m with you, and I will always be with you.”

It's just that his expression became very complicated, and his eyes were intertwined with complicated emotions. After a while, he said again: “Kathrine， there’s something I haven’t told you, I’ve actually known you for a long time, I ……”

Before he could finish his sentence, the door was opened with a forceful kick. David rushed into the cell like death. He grabbed me by the neck and threw me hard, before his claws went down Athan's throat. I didn't care about the pain in my body, I rushed up to grab his hand and didn't let him get close to Athan.

"Fuck off!" David punched my face with his injured hand, but I stood still. At this moment, I was so glad I bit his finger off earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to resist his attack! When his severed hand came at me here, I blocked that hand and stuck my fingernails into his wound. He screamed and finally let go of Athan. I hurriedly put Athan behind me and stared at him nervously.

David stabilized his body and stared at Athan fiercely: "Stop struggling, you two must die today!" Then he was about to rush over again, when Athan suddenly smiled softly, his voice was calm and low: "My people are about to break throught, aren't they?"

"So what? As long as I kill their Alpha, they would become an army with no leader!" David's eyes darkened, his voice cruel. I jumped toward him and tried to punch him in the face, but his speed was way too fast than mine, he dodged! He was so much stronger than me!

David Hunter's claws have stretched out to Athan's throat, and he could easily kill Athan as long as he takes one step forward! At this moment, Athan, who had been hanging all the time, suddenly burst into a roar, and then he pulled so hard that he broke the rope that bound him! David was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, he strike his claws toward Athan's throat. However, Athan easily grabbed his wrist and turned it out, followed by a sound of broken bones!

David was thrown out, he got up and shouted unwillingly: "How is this possible! You are obviously dying!"

Athan didn't look at him, he picked me up and walked towards the door, then he glanced at the direction of David and said: "You're too weak."
