The Wolf is Coming Ch. 22

Prev | Directory | Next

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The street lights on the street lit up one after another, and the originally bustling city gradually returned to peace.

Suddenly, a gunshot shattered the peace, startling the birds that were originally perched on the branches and causing them to fly away.

"It ran towards the residential area!"

Accompanied by the sound of pursuit from far to near, a white shadow rushed out of the street and rushed onto the road.

Seeing a car about to hit it, the white shadow crossed the road without stopping. The driver was startled, and the sharp brake sound almost pierced his eardrums. After he observed the road conditions and confirmed that there was no problem, he cursed and drove away.

This little episode caused the several uniformed people who were chasing the white shadow to lose track.

"This is bad, the wolf ran into the residential area." One of them said.

"But I just shot it," another person pointed to the fresh blood on the ground and said, "the wolf is injured and should not run far. Try to find it before it hurts anyone."

Abraham felt that he was really unlucky today. He just ran away from the eyes of the gangsters, but he didn't expect to run into the security personnel of this block, and he didn't expect them to draw guns directly on him.

Everything happened too suddenly. He only had time to avoid the vital parts, and he was shot in the left hind leg. The bullet sank into the flesh, and the burning sensation became more and more intense with the pain. Almost every step he took would tear the bloody wound open again.

Abraham didn't know where he had accidentally run to, but he should have found a place to hide first, at least until the full moon was over. It was not a good idea to continue running around the street blatantly when his physical strength was about to run out and he had alarmed humans.

So, when a window that was not closed tightly and no light came out appeared in front of him, Abraham, who was exhausted physically and mentally, used his claws to pry open the window, and used up his last bit of physical strength to jump in without hesitation.

The Grangers took Emma to an old friend's house party in the evening. When they got home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Emma walked into the bedroom on the soft carpet, kicked off her shoes and threw herself on the bed. She was too tired, exhausted physically and mentally. Most of the people attending the party tonight were acquaintances of the Granger family. She had never encountered this in the script and had to put all her energy into dealing with it. The originally relaxing party time was turned into a work scene.

After Emma rolled around on the bed with a soft and fluffy pillow, she suddenly found that the window of her room was not closed. So she sat up from the bed, threw the pillow to the side, and then lowered her head to look for the slippers she had thrown out.

It was at this time that she found blood on the carpet. The bright red blood dripped sporadically on the beige carpet, which looked particularly glaring. Judging from the state of the blood coagulation, it should have been a while. Looking at the open window in front of her again, Emma immediately became alert, and the fatigue just now disappeared without a trace.

She jumped off the bed barefoot, regardless of the rule that underage wizards were not allowed to use magic outside of school, and quickly grabbed the wand in her hand— rules were dead, but people were alive, not to mention that the only weapon she could use to protect herself was the wand.

Emma held the wand and carefully checked the room. After confirming that there were no abnormalities in the most likely places to hide people, such as behind the curtains, in the cupboards, and on the back of the door, she moved as far away from the bed as possible, stepped on the soft carpet, slowly and silently lowered her center of gravity, and looked under the bed.

It was dark under the bed where no light could be seen. Emma could not see clearly, but she could sense a vague shadow there. She was a little nervous and a little scared. The hand holding the wand was already full of sweat.

The vague shadow seemed to move, and then, in the darkness, she met a pair of yellow eyes.
