The Luna Choosing Game

Chapter 231

Terry motioned to the men around him, and they began to come closer.

With a growl, Nicholas, in full wolf form, pounced from the dark of the tunnel and tackled two of the ment

closest to me at once.

I had never seen him in his wolf form before, but I knew at once it was him. The dark brown fur was the same color as his hair, and those golden eyes flecked with green were unmistakable. As was his fierce.

protection of me.

With two men out, that still left four on their feet, as well as Terry and Jane. In the distance, I spotted Julian, sneaking behind every one. Footsteps were coming closer through the hallways. Backup, maybe.

Julian closed and locked the door with a deft and silent hand.

No one noticed at all until some of the men outside began pounding on the door to get in.

“Julian!” Terry snapped.

Julian shrugged. “You didn’t think we’d let her come alone, did you?”

“Then this must be Nicholas,” Terry said, gesturing wildly at Nicholas’s wolf form.

Nicholas moved directly in front of me, growling lowly.

“Don’t just stand there, get them!” Terry urged the four men still standing. “Isn’t that what you are here.

for? To do as I command?”

The men seemed uncertain for a moment, glancing at each other. But then, they all nodded, one after

the next.

One unsheathed a knife, and lunged for Nicholas. Nicholas pounced, meeting him halfway. He closed his jaws around the man’s wrist and wrenched the knife away. It clattered across the ground near Jane’s feet.

Jane leaned down and scooped it up. Then she darted forward at a fast pace. I was worried that she was going for Nicholas, so I moved as well, to intercept. I realized too late, she was actually coming for

me.She slammed me up against the barred walls of one of the cages and held the knife to my throat.

I could have fought against her. Nicholas and I hadn’t trained for this exact situation, but some of the moves he showed me would have surely helped. If my life was at stake, he wanted me to play dirty.

Yet, even as angry and heartbroken as I was over my sister’s betrayal, when I looked at her, I saw that pig-

have any idea what it felt like, to constantly be in your shadow? To watch you receive opportunity after opportunity simply because your wolf was stronger?” Jane’s voice was tightening, raising. Her hand holding the knife trembled. “You didn’t deserve it! None of it!”

I watched her in shock. All those years, she’d only ever seemed happy for me. “You can’t mean this…”

“Can’t I? I got my vengeance. I destroyed your life once. I’ll be damned before I let you crawl your way

Jane pressed the knife to my throat, I pressed as far back against the cell as I could.

“You are nothing.” Jane said. “I will take everything from you once again.”

“W–why?” I asked, barely able to find my voice.

She dipped her face down, and peered up at me from under her brow. Like this, she looked menacing

and evil. Nothing like the girl I knew and loved.”
