The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 615 - SURVIVAL INSTINCT

Quicker than Hope's brain could process everything that happened around her, Lydia had ushered her away from the beast that was fighting four Alphas in their human form, and a vampire. historical

The only thing that resonated in Hope's mind was; how could Kace survive that?!

Hope really wanted to stay, but then what could she do then? Only now Hope realized how hopeless and useless she was. Hope hated herself for this. Even if she could, she would do anything in her power to help. But unfortunately, even the best thing that she could do would not help them that much.

Hope pitied herself for being useless.

Lydia practically dragged Hope away.It was almost unbelievable to see the witch still had the stamina to run that fast.Knowing she just woke up a few hours ago, and they just ran for two full hours.

If it wasn't for the adrenaline that rushed through her veins, Hope would have collapsed now.The pain from her feet made her numb, as her head became dizzy.

Hope couldn't see them, but she knew the three witches came for them.Since the Alphas were busy fighting the beast, it was only natural for them to go after their second prey.

"Do something!" Abby ran beside Lydia, horror in her eyes, she didn't look any better than Hope too. Meanwhile, Leon was nowhere to be seen, it seemed the brother was staying behind to assist Kace.

This situation was getting out of hands.

Especially when Hope's legs could no longer keep up with her will to move faster. And instead,she tripped over then fell on her face first, hitting the ground.

Hope yelped in pain when she felt her face bumped onto a tree trunk.Yet, that would be her last concern, because after that, the three of them were surrounded by the three witches from before.

Because of Hope's stupidity they were being caught, and it made Abby curse under her breath. Apparently Lydia's spell had worn off. If this was any other occasion, Hope wouldn't let the young witch off after insulting her, but their situation needed her attention more.

"Okay, let's make this quick, give me the girl." The witch named Shannon stretched out her hand, as if Hope would take it willingly.

"Here! You can take her!" Abby pushed Hope's shoulder when she just stood up from the ground, and caused her to almost fall again for the second time. If it was not because of Lydia, who held her back, falling to the ground was really what would happen to her.

Lydia glowered at Abby, but quickly put her focus on the three witches surrounding them.

"If you do that again, I swear I will kill you myself!" Hope hissed viciously as she tried to steady herself while panting. The running really exhausted her greatly.

"You don't want us to do this to you Lydia," Shannon said in her sweet voice, while shaking her head. "I know you befriend Serefina, but it doesn't mean you can take the three of us in your current condition."

It was true, Lydia barely managed to conjure a blasting fire, which was dodged easily by Shannon.

But it was enough distraction for another witch to sneak behind Lidya's back, and grabbed Hope's shoulder then shoved her backwards while Abby did nothing to help her. Neither did she warn them that there was a sneak attack right under her nose.

Abby had the expression that showed that she didn't want to get involved in this situation.If taking away Hope could save her, then she was more than willing to let them take the girl.

For the third time Hope's head hit an oak tree and everything started to spin.

In her lightheaded state, Hope could barely see Lydia's yelling. As the witch that captured her dragged her into the dense forest.

Hope tried to fight back, but her body wouldn't cooperate. She could barely notice the sight of her surroundings, and catch her breath.

After a short run, the witch stopped to chant a mantra to call Beelzebub.

The witch just let Hope knelt on the ground, catching her breaths, thinking she wouldn't be able to run away.

However, once her lungs had filled with the air that she needed, Hope didn't waste another second to regain her full strength because if she waited any longer, it would be too late for her to do anything.

Hope grabbed a rough, big, stone and slammed it against the witch's shin bone as hard as she could.Causing the witch screamed in shock and pain, ruining the spell that she chanted.

The moment the witch lost her balance, Hope yanked her cloak until she fell on her back and immediately climbed on top of her and straddled the witch.

The witch might be very good at their spells, or magical powers.But they weren't that different from humans when it came to dealing with physical attacks. Melee's attacks left them vulnerable

Hope learned this quickly when she watched how helpless the witch was when she couldn't chant her spell, or use her hand to conjure some magical things when Hope gave her a jab on her neck.

The witch coughed violently from Hope's assault. But the girl didn't let the witch gain her strength, and she pulled the scarf around the witch's neck with all the force she could muster.

The witch began to swing, and push at Hope, who was straddling her. However, the girl sat on top of her and pulled the scarf even tighter, screaming when the witch swung her fist into her cheek.Yet she didn't let go.

Hope felt like it took forever before the witch's body stopped writhing, and stayed still. She watched as the witch struggled for her final breaths, and the life began to drain from her eyes.

When there was no more movement from the woman under her, Hope felt very exhausted from the exertion.

It was too late, but when the realization hit her. Hope shuddered as her body trembled, when she realized she just killed the witch.

She just killed someone for the first time.
