Chapter 129

129 The Unforeseen Accident

Ronan had a premonition that Kinnon was going to attack him because the brown wolf kept staring at him intently.

While the other wolves quickly scattered away, Ronan stood firm on his feet to take on Kinnon’s first attack. He successfully dodged to the side, but one of Kinnon’s sharp claws managed to graze his cheek.

Ronan let out a wild roar and snapped at Kinnon fiercely in return.

The goal was to keep Kinnon’s attention directed at him. It later proved to be unnecessary because Ronan was Kinnon’s target all along. Once he engaged Ronan, he did not even try to attack other werewolves. All of his attacks were vicious and carried murderous intent.

The Alpha of the Night Prowler Pack was determined to end the Alpha of the rival pack in the war.

This confrontation was both good news and bad news.

The good news was that it was a one-on-one confrontation. Alpha against Alpha.

The bad news was that the rest of the Silent Walkers Pack’s group had to deal with the rest of the Night Prowler Pack’s group.

Ronan’s initial plan to take on at least ten werewolves at once while protecting Lucien was thwarted effectively. In the middle of Kinnon’s fierce and unrelenting onslaught, Ronan did not even dare to take his eyes off Kinnon. His opponent had two sets of sharp fangs and four sets of sharp claws that he did not hesitate to use.

.....

Ronan landed as many hits as he could on Kinnon in order to incapacitate him. He needed Kinnon to stop attacking him so he could find out what was happening to Lucien.

Unfortunately, the Alpha of the Night Prowler Pack was not that easy to defeat. He was there for a blood bath, and he would not stop until Ronan lay dead at his feet.

‘Lucien, please be safe,’ Ronan kept saying in his mind. ‘Please, please. Wait for me. I will be by your side as soon as I am done with Kinnon.’

Meanwhile, the soft drizzle had turned into a heavy downpour. Everyone was drenched in the heavy rain. The solid ground turned into a huge field of mud. The fight became more and more ridiculous as every wolf just pounced blindly around to stay alive.

Ronan’s and Kinnon’s fight also suffered greatly from the rain. They kept missing each other because their footing was ruined by the slippery ground.

After attacking each other intensely for an hour, both wolves had to take a little break. Both of their bodies were covered with claw and bite wounds. The heavy rain washed more and more blood away from their bodies as they tried hard to maintain straight postures.

Ronan took the time to scan the surrounding area but he could not locate Lucien at all. Everywhere, giant wolves were rolling on the ground and exchanging bites and scratches. Kinnon had managed to separate Ronan completely from Lucien.

Panic crept into Ronan’s heart.

What was happening?

Who was Lucien fighting at the moment?

Was he doing fine?

He racked his brain for a list of the strongest werewolves on Kinnon Youngshaper’s side. Landon just recently returned to Lucien’s side. Lucien was not going to be able to take one, let alone two or three of them!

Ronan’s only consolation was the fact that they were all still fighting. If something had happened to Lucien... They would know. He would know.

Before long, Kinnon decided to end their little break and aimed for Ronan’s neck right away. Ronan too was at the end of his patience. He ducked and slammed Kinnon hard against his stomach.

A sharp wail escaped Kinnon when Ronan’s attack ended up breaking some of his bones.

‘Be glad that I did not tear you into pieces and let your guts spill on the ground,’ Ronan thought angrily.

In his carelessness, he accidentally exposed his backside to Kinnon, who did not need to think twice before seizing the opportunity.

A searing pain spread across Ronan’s back when Kinnon buried two sets of sharp claws into it and viciously tore through Ronan’s back.

‘AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!’ Beowulf screamed in Ronan’s head.

Ronan bit into his lips to prevent himself from screaming. He violently hurled Kinnon into the air to get the latter’s claws out of his back.

Kinnon ended up slamming against the cliff’s side. He lost consciousness for a few minutes. The few minutes that Ronan desperately needed to assess his wounds.

He was bleeding severely from his back, and the rain only made it worse. The blood loss caused his sight to become blurry. His head felt so heavy and he started to lose consciousness.

‘No,’ he told himself.

‘No, Ronan. You can’t lose now. You can’t die here. Lucien is here somewhere, surrounded by a bunch of wolves. He needs you. You must stay strong.’

Ronan shook his head desperately and focused on Kinnon, who was slowly getting up from the ground.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Both wolves glared at each other for a whole minute before they started pouncing at each other again.

Ronan and Kinnon fought valiantly despite their heavy injuries. They kept slamming each other against the cliff sides, intent on ending the fight as soon as possible because both of them could not carry on for much longer.

Ronan tackled Kinnon hard against the cliff one last time. After repeatedly bumping his head against the rocky side, Kinnon eventually slumped to his side and lay on the ground, unmoving.

Ronan too fell to the ground while breathing heavily. He decided to take a few minutes to catch his breath before going out there to find Lucien.

Unfortunately, the continuous attack on the cliffside did not go without any consequences.

A loud crashing sound was heard coming from the cliff. What followed was a flood of mud and soil that flowed into the valley. The flood carried with it huge trees and boulders that rained down on Kinnon and Ronan mercilessly.

The last thing that Ronan remembered before his sight turned black was a loud voice that was calling after his name.

‘RONAN!!!’
