My Most Precious Human novel Chapter 118

The roaring monster stood right in front of me with his shredded human clothes lying around on the floor. While being on his four massive paws, he was still a whole head higher than me. His dark grey fur emanated savageness, and combined with the excessive rage overflowing his pupils, his aura screamed horrifying danger. The crowd went wild, supporting Brick's beast and encouraging him to attack me. I swallowed hard and glanced at Draven and Ari.

"Alpha?" Ari stepped forward, expecting Alpha to interfere, but he was stopped by his Alpha's raised palm.

Draven looked at me calmly without saying a word, and I could see a faint smirk appearing on his face.

"You have to be kidding me!" I hissed, wondering if Alpha was trying to kill me.

I glanced at my opponent. He was about to attack. I quickly calculated my chances, and a second later, I already knew that inside this building he could rip me to pieces in no time. This beast was way too close to me, and the only chance I had was to create more distance between us. I needed to run outside, but the crowd was blocking my way.

"Running scared, little girl?" One of the warriors blocking my way mocked me. "Daddy won't save you this time!"

I gritted my teeth and glared at them. "Move out of my way!" I yelled.

Certainly, they reacted with vicious laughter, which only infuriated me more. I gazed behind my shoulder. Brick was about to storm right at me, and I had less than a second to react. I bounced off the ground where I stood and did a front flip, jumping above warriors' heads, and landing right beside the exit. I opened the door and ran the hell out of there. Brick was right behind me, charging forward like the deadliest hellhound. Thank God, I was still faster even when he was in wolf form. I ran to the center of the training field and then turned around, waiting for my opponent within a 30-foot distance.

The elite squad came outside to watch us fight, surrounding the ground while chanting Brick's name. Draven and Ari walked outside as well. Ari seemed more than concerned about the situation, while his Alpha held an indifferent expression, which enraged me even more than before. What kind of sick game did he play?!

I flipped forward and jumped on his back again. I knew that Brick would try the same trick with rolling on his back, so I had to act quicker than he. Holding onto his fur, I wrapped my thighs around his neck and started to choke him. He squirmed and lay down, turning his head from one side to the other and snapping his jaw, hoping to tear my flesh. I trapped him hard, tightening my clutch and putting more and more pressure on his hyoid bone. His movements slowed down. He was losing consciousness. He stopped attacking me and was an inch from giving up. His life belonged to me. I could either end it or show him mercy... And I was no killer.

I released my clutch around his neck and jumped off his back. The huge gray wolf was panting hard while the crowd went silent once again. It was over. I vaguely smiled while shivering from exhaustion and a decreasing level of adrenalin. Alpha Draven stepped forward and nodded, proving the job well done. I started walking towards Draven, turning my back on Brick, when suddenly felt a sharp, agonizing pain in my shoulder. I turned my head and saw Brick, who cowardly attacked me from behind, piercing my flesh with his sharp teeth and trying to rip my skin.

"No!" Draven thundered while turning into an enormous black wolf.

He took a high jump above me and knocked Brick down to the ground with his black paws, crushing his ribcage. I tried to process what had just happened, but the pain of the torn muscle in my shoulder hit me so painfully I couldn't even scream. I fell to the ground, watching the blood flowing from the widely opened wound. The pain was slowly taking my mind away. I couldn't breathe. As my vision became blurry, I saw Draven's human face. He was leaning over me. A second later, I was no longer lying on the ground. I was in Draven's arms, slowly releasing my tension in the warmth of his. I smiled feebly, thinking that I could finally rest, and closed my eyes.
