Chapter 229 76: No Way Out

• Edward raced through the woods as fast as his legs could take him, and Eai, Alpha Zayn, and Alpha Chado tried to keep up. He wanted to run faster, but he had to consider the strength of the others with him. Eai could keep up, but the others who were older couldn’t. Yes, they had feasted on the flesh of the guard after being released, but they were still far from recovering from the many months of being locked up and having their werewolf abilities suppressed.
• He didn’t know where he was running to, as the forbidden forest was a nightmare puzzle to solve, but they had to run. The two alphas and guard behind him trusted his judgement and ran behind him.
• Edward had been locked up for only a day, yet he felt as if it were longer. His magic was almost nonexistent, and he couldn’t feel it in his veins as he felt his blood. The presence of it was gone, and that made him vulnerable. Despite being a wolf, he had never relied on that alone. He had always relied more on his magic, and unless the situation called for it, he didn’t shift or manifest his wolf’s side.
