Chapter 188 - Fight Under The Moon

Nigel was leaping towards the place where the mangled body was lying. He wanted to make sure that it was not Adeline. But before he could reach that place, he realized that he was surrounded by a pack of werewolves. Nigel stopped in his track and used his heightened sense of smell to find out how many of them had surrounded him.

There were thirteen of them. And he could smell what they were planning to do with him. They all were there to kill him. Nigel wanted to transform into his werewolf form as well to prepare himself for the fight but it was already too late to do that. All of the wolves charged at him at once.

And all Nigel could do was defend himself from their attacks. Two of the werewolves jumped at him from two opposite directions at once. Nigel leaped high in the air and avoided getting mauled by their sharp claws. Because he avoided their attack, those wolves collided with themselves and dropped to the ground.

But before he could land safely back on the ground, four other wolves jumped at him from all directions. He kicked one of them on its head and merely dodged another one's claws. But he could not avoid the other two's attack. One bit him on his shoulder and the other clawed him on his stomach.

Nigel gave out a loud cry and landed on the ground on all his fours. He was bleeding a lot but he could not afford to lose his focus even for a second. He would get killed in a second if he lost his focus.

Nine of those wolves had surrounded him from all directions and four of them were circling him closely and were ready to pounce on him again. All four of them let out a low but terrifying growl and slowly inched closer to Nigel. They were ready to tear him off into shreds.

Nigel closely looked at each and every movement of those four wolves who were circling him. He noticed that one of them was limping a little, maybe it got hurt earlier. Nigel's super-healing ability was already kicking in and the bleeding was slowing down.

And when that limping wolf reached right in front of him, Nigel kicked his feet on the ground and grabbed that wolf's leg. Then he used his great strength to flip that wolf on its back, and without wasting any second, he elongated his claws and ruptured its ribcage. And in another second, he pulled out its heart and threw it on the ground.

The other three wolves instantly charged at Nigel at once while the other nine began to howl loudly to mourn the death of their pack member.

Nigel's instinct of survival kicked in and he used every bit of his strength to fight off those three wolves. He leaped and sat on one's back and did a chokehold and ruptured its neck. He jumped onto another wolf but its claw wounded his thighs. However, he didn't care about that wound and his pain. He skidded under that wolf's body and poked his hands on its chest. He threw another heart on the ground and ran before that huge body could collapse on him.

The other nine wolves were now onto him. It was this hard just to kill four of them, and Nigel didn't think that he would survive if all of them attacked him at once.

And that was when his super-hearing caught a faint voice calling out his name. "Nigel… brother… is that you? Ple-please help…"

Nigel widened his eyes and his heart began to race. He recognized that voice. He turned to look at that mangled body and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Adeline!"

And without caring that the wolves were now running and were approaching him, he began to run towards his sister. "Adeline! Who did this to you?" he was shouting as he ran closer to Adeline.

He dropped to his knees before he could reach by her side because it was too painful for him to see her in that situation. Her hands were twisted to the sides that they shouldn't have, one of her legs had a deep cut on her thigh and calf, and there were countless claw marks all over her body. She was lying in a pool of blood. He could also see that a huge lump of flesh was torn off of her neck, it looked as though a wolf had ripped off her flesh.

Tears started to roll down Nigel's cheeks like a waterfall and he crouched down and buried his face in his palms. He sobbed like a little child, he could not bear to see his sister dying like that.

Nigel heard Adeline's frail and pain-filled whisper, "Brother… I don't think I can take it any-anymore. Will you put me out of my misery?"

Nigel looked at that mauled body of Adeline and shook his head violently. He crawled and sat next to his sister and held her hand, and whispered to her, "Nothing will happen to you. You are going to be fine." He thought for a while and said, "Theodore's fountain water can cure you. Do you know how to call him? Or tell me where he lives and I will carry you there."

Nigel heard a low growl behind him before Adeline could say anything. And he knew that it was going to attack him. He was now filled with rage because he thought that these wolves were the ones to hurt Adeline. And they were still trying to stop him from trying to save her. He thought that they were trying to delay him so that he wouldn't be able to save his sister from dying.

He swiftly turned around and killed that wolf before it even got the chance to see the incoming attack. And he went on a killing frenzy. He didn't care if he was hurt or if he was getting wounds after wounds, all he cared about was that he had to kill them all as soon as he could and he had to take Adeline to Theodore's place to cure her.

And in under two minutes, Nigel brutally massacred the pack. The scene was repulsive to look at, with blood and hearts and dead bodies lying around. Then he ran to his sister's side to make sure that she was still breathing.

But before Nigel could think about how to take his sister to Theodore's, he heard a furious scream coming from a little far, "Nigel! What did you do?" He turned his head to see a familiar silhouette approaching him. And he thought, "Isn't that…? How did he find me?"

When the silhouette came closer, he was a little thankful. It was the alpha.

But the alpha wasn't there to help him. King Conall stood right in between Adeline and Nigel. He glared at Nigel with his glowing yellow eyes and howled at him, "How dare you put your sister in this condition… and how dare you kill both of my sons? They were just here to restrain you from hurting any other humans!"

Nigel's head began to spin after hearing that accusation. And he asked in a quivering voice, "What do you mean I put my sister in this state? And what do you mean I killed your sons?"
