Nigel was leaping towards the place where the mangled body was lying. He wanted to make sure that it was not Adeline. But before he could reach that place, he realized that he was surrounded by a pack of werewolves. Nigel stopped in his track and used his heightened sense of smell to find out how many of them had surrounded him.
There were thirteen of them. And he could smell what they were planning to do with him. They all were there to kill him. Nigel wanted to transform into his werewolf form as well to prepare himself for the fight but it was already too late to do that. All of the wolves charged at him at once.
And all Nigel could do was defend himself from their attacks. Two of the werewolves jumped at him from two opposite directions at once. Nigel leaped high in the air and avoided getting mauled by their sharp claws. Because he avoided their attack, those wolves collided with themselves and dropped to the ground.
