Chapter 17 Chapter 17 / -Selene- / My eyes fluttered open suddenly . I shook my head when I remembered how I landed in prison unconscious . How was he doing ? Were the eyes still hurting ? I pushed myself up on my trembling elbows and regretted it that instant . Every eye in the cell was on me . It wasn't pity . It was rage . Their eyes burned with hate , and for a second , I felt like disappearing . " She's awake ," one of the wolves snarled . El 55 vouchers I turned my head slowly , but in each direction I turned , there was a pair of angry eyes boring into mine . " What's going on ? " I muttered . Where is Finn ? I thought . " You little wretch ! " One of them cried . " How dare you share the same air we breathe ? " I looked around again in confusion . They had started circling me like I was prey . " What ... what ... did , what did I do ? " I stuttered . " You are not a rogue ! " One of them spat . My heart stopped . Someone had given me away . Who , then , told them I wasn't a rogue wolf ? " How dare you ! " Another shouted . " You are a member of the RavenCrest , yet you are bold enough to share a prison room with us . I guess you know the implications ? " He spat and clenched his fists so tight that I could hear his bones creak in protest . I swallowed hard and tried to control my breathing . 11:30 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 17 Who the hell had told them ? Did someone hear Finn then ? Or was it my reaction to Thorne's call ? Whichever one it was , that wasn't what mattered now . The main issue at hand was that they were ready to kill me . " Hey , " I started off sweetly . " You are wrong ." 59 55 vouchers " Liar ! " He growled and charged at me , but Finn stepped in at that moment with his arms outstretched . " Don't you dare touch her ! " They didn't flinch . They didn't move an inch . I thought they respected him , but not when a wolf from this pack was involved . " Get out of the way , Finn ! " He growled . " Else you die with her . " Finn stood where he was , but I could tell he wasn't confident . " No one will die today , please." Another wolf screamed . " She's the reason we are here . She is the reason we are kept packed up like dead chickens . Her pack , this damned pack , burnt our homes , slaughtered some of us and rendered us homeless , some of us childless , some motherless and others orphaned . It's the rule ; wherever they are found , they should be killed , and you can't change that , Finn , so move . I won't ask you again ." " She's not one of them ," Finn shouted . " I promise you she's different ; she's not like them . She's a victim too . " I shivered . Why was he protecting me this way ? He just met me a few hours ago . Finn turned to me quickly and whispered . " Don't speak . Allow me to fix it . " I nodded in response . 11:30 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 17 I wasn't even going to say anything . There were no words in my mouth . The minute Finn turned to continue arguing , a blow landed on his cheek . " Finn , " I screamed , tears running down my face . 59 55 vouchers Another person threw a blow , but Finn deflected it . Then another came and another till they lunged as one , and chaos erupted . I curled up in a corner crying as I watched Finn fight with everything he had . I wish I could help . I desperately wanted to . But where do I start from ? I couldn't even throw a punch . I heard a loud growl , and within seconds Finn's wolf clawed out of him ; his fur tore through his skin , and his snarl was as loud as thunder when it rained heavily . I gasped . It was serious . It was a matter of life and death , and I also knew it was a matter of time before I died because we were outnumbered . Did I just say ' we ' ? I didn't count . Finn was outnumbered . I thought his wolf would scare or intimidate them , but I was wrong . It got them even angrier . " You dare protect a Raven wolf ! " One of them screamed . " The Alpha will hear this ! " The Alpha ? I muttered . What Alpha ? And how will the Alpha hear it since they were in prison with no hope of getting out ? I was dragged out of my thoughts when they all began to shift . I cried . It definitely was my last day on earth , and no doubt it would be a painful death . Deep snarls filled the prison as each of them tore at Finn . 11:30 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 17 My back hit the wall as lots of bodies collided and blood splattered across the ground . " Finn " , I muttered . 59 E55 vouchers He was losing . Dying too . I watched helplessly as one of them bit into his side , causing him to fall to the ground with a thud . He whimpered , cried and begged that I be left alone . " No , " I cried . " Stop , he is dying . I'm the target ; come this way . " There was silence . Then , one by one , the Wolves turned to me and began walking towards me . I breathed shakily . There was no use living ; after all , I was better off dead . I stared at Finn , he wasn't moving . They had injured him so badly but left a little life in him , though I didn't know if he would survive it . One Wolf ran ; the moment he got to me , he raised his claw to strike , but something inside me snapped . A loud , deep snarl left my throat , and the wolf froze midair with his claw suspended . Then the other rogue paused . " Argh ! " I screamed in pain . Something was happening to me , and I didn't know what it was . My vision was clouded as heat poured from my skin . My fingernails had gotten so long and strange . My bones were breaking as something tried so hard to break free from inside me . It was my wolf ! I was shifting , But how was that possible ? The wolves lunged again , but I struck back . I didn't shift completely . Part of me was still human , but the other part was scary ; I couldn't look at it . 11:31 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 17 I roared as I fought . Digging my claws into anything near me . One by one bodies fell , till I heard the metal door creak . Just then I went back to myself . It was so fast that I doubted I had shifted . I turned to Finn's body on the floor . " Finn " , I muttered . " Please don't die , " I cried . 11:31 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 18 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
