He glanced back and shook his arms out. “Let’s have some fun, Wolf Girl.”
Oh, I intended to.
He jumped through first, and just as I followed him, a fist came flying for my wolf’s head.
Before it could connect, Lykem had the guy by the throat and slammed him into the hard rock wall with a smirk on his face. “Look at me coming in handy already.”
He was a little too proud of that fact as he tied a rope around the guy’s hands behind his back. “No killing unless we have to.”
That was a part of the plan I was more than okay with. I’d been trained to kill, but I’d yet to actually do so. Though, I knew I could without blinking an eye if it meant saving an innocent life.
Once he was done, I glanced in both directions, trying to correlate where we’d jumped in with where the door in the tree was.
We were further down than I’d been. Though, I felt rather confident that we needed to head right, then turn left somewhere up ahead.
I led the way with Lykem right behind me, him running and managing to keep up with my wolf.
Three men charged toward us, and I glanced at Lykem. He’d just been badly injured the day before, yet I couldn’t see any signs that he’d already tired or was too weak to fight. I just had to trust that he was as strong on the inside as he was appearing on the outside.
“I’ll get baldy on the right,” he said. “You get the left and we’ll hope the third doesn’t blindside one of us.”
That was as good of a plan as we were going to come up with. Given the tight quarters, there wasn’t going to be a chance of separating the group to lessen their advantage.
We met the three men head on. Lykem was swinging punches with one hand and swiping out with a knife in the other.
My wolf had her teeth bared and claws at the ready. We attacked the guy on the left as planned, attempting to only knock him out, given how easily Lykem had done that to the first attacker. Except this one wasn’t as easily taken down.
He had a glowing blade in his hand and winked just before he swiped at me. We dodged out of the way, but he was quick with another attempt. This time the knife sliced cleanly through my wolf’s front leg, preventing us from putting any pressure on it.
Sorry, wolf, I said.I don’t think bringing a wolf to a knife fight is going to be helpful this time.
She snarled and backed up, then allowed me to shift back without any resistance.
As soon as I was on two feet, I checked my arm where she’d been cut. It wasn’t deep, but blood still trickled down my arm.
I surged forward with two blades in hand from my back pockets. Just before I moved to cut my attacker in return, I dropped down and slid toward him.
His knife barely missed the top of my head, and mine cut through his inner thighs.
The roar he bellowed had me grinning, but not for long.
I caught the third attacker jumping onto Lykem’s back while he was still fighting the bald one.
Deciding mine was incapacitated enough, I jumped into Lykem’s fight without thinking.
As soon as I grabbed on to the third man, a shot of electricity went through me and my body was forced back, slamming into the wall.
I had to blink several times before I could get back up. “Fuck, that hurt,” I muttered.
Though, I had to figure something else out and soon, because Lykem was worse off than I realized.
His entire body shook, and he was seconds from having his neck sliced up.
That could have been you if you’d gone ahead without him, my wolf reminded me, then added something actually helpful. Use your knife to dig a chunk of rock from the wall, then smash it over the guy’s head.
That I could do.
Then I had a better idea once I began to turn around.
