Ryan let out a maniacal laugh. his disdainful eyes turned red in fury.
"who sent me? Who sent me? Hahahah you're really funny witch. You're really really funny." His glaring eyes looked at him with so much resentment. "you are the reason I'm here. If you hadn't killed off my…"
A huge blond wolf suddenly intervened and pushed him off to the side with just a hip bump.
Nico let out a small laugh. "a hip bump? You're a fatty guy for sure,"
Dylan's wolf peered at him with his golden eyes shimmering. "howwlllll!" he howled again. With his tail wagging, he was happily fighting off the hunters.
He actually seemed to be enjoying it. The fight did not even look serious. It just looked like a puppy running around pushing everyone playfully. He did not bite or nip at anyone else.
This was a stark difference between these two fights he had witnessed before. The rogues did not get this treatment, but the hunters were an expectation. He did not even scratch them.
"hey get this done with!" he felt like the strength was draining out of his body.
Avery poked his head out the window. "you can't use the spell for long…."
Nico gulped softly. The arrows were still stuck in the sticky shield. If by any chance he let go of the shield the arrows might still hit him.
"Avery do me a favor. Come, collect all these arrows."
Avery ran around and swiftly plucked all the arrows out of the shield. "how are you doing this? This is so amazing. I have never seen anyone so powerful like this," he whispered softly.
"I don't even know if I'm powerful huh…." He glanced at the black-haired man who was on the ground. "do you see that guy? He is saying that I poisoned that guy's people. I have never been outside. Avery vouch for me,"
Avery glanced at that man. The black-haired dude glared at him as well. "the moment he woke up he has been with us. He really doesn't have any clue about this world. Like you said, he poisoned your guys right. He does not evne know anything poisons. Last time he ate a red mushroom and git sick for a few days."
"hey you don't have to say that!" Nico shouted with a heated face. "that's too much information. Joust so you know i'm not the guy you are after."
The black-haired man frowned. "you are the one I'm searching for! Stop trying to poison my mind again! You seduced me and poisoned my family and ran away!"
"s-seduced you? Oh dear lord have mercy. I don't have a seductive bone in my body."
Dylan once again rushed close and pushed that guy away. "you said he seduced him?" his playful expression had changed drastically. He glared at ryan intesely. "who seduced who? How dare you accuse my mate of seducing you!"
"mate? That whore has been with so many…."
Before he could even finish his sentence, Dylan punched him directly on his face. A few teeth shattered and blood dribbled down his chin.
"don't you dare talk shit about him," an even more menacing voice came out of Dylan. somehow wolfie had taken control.
Ryan started to retaliate. Dylan's attacks were upfront but that man was very sneaky. he would sneak in a punch whenever his beloved was distracted. not only that, his punch left a small stab mark on that place.
"Dylan!!! he has a dagger!!"
dylan gritted his teeth. the dagger must have been made out of silver. he could feel his skin sizzling. he did not want to worry his mate so he just continued his confrontation.
initially, he just wanted to threaten this hunter and chase him away with a warning because ryan did not hurt anyone as of yet. but the situation had changed. this man talked shit about his mate.
{he needs to be eliminated from this world,'} wolfie said to Dylan who had regained control of his human body.
"i know…"
While Dylan was going at him, the hunter did not stand still. They started to kill off the unconscious pack members.
Nico hurriedly acted. He cast another shield around each and every pack member.
He felt an unimaginable pressure on the top of his head and a warm liquid poured out of his nose.
"Nico stop it!" Avery shouted and grabbed his hand. "you can't use magic too much. It has adverse effects!!!"
"they will die if I don't!"
Sensing this Dylan glanced back seriously// he tried to rush off to kill the other hunters but Ryan kept him on his toes. The man's swift reaction speed made him a very dangerous opponent. even for an alpha king.
Dylan shifted to his wolf form and tore into his arm. With just a tug, he tore his hand. It was like he was tearing a chew toy.
But Ryan did not give up at all. even with only one arm he was a formidable opponent to Dylan.
While they were fighting avery hurriedly cast the shield spell on him and rushed out to pull the pack members inside the huge protective shield. Nico would not be able to maintain so many separate shields at the same time. It will end up hurting him.
A hunter noted him and shot arrows at him.
"ah!" avery screamed running away. He pulled the pack members hurriedly towards the pack house.
"Avery stop it! Your shield is unstable!"
"I know!" avery screamed but he continued helping the pack members.
The hunter surrounded him in all directions. They did not attacks but they did not budge as well.
Avery's gulped loudly. "should I bite them….."
Nico shouted. "just distract them and run to me avery! Coem on! do anything! Survive!"
Dylan noticed this and swiftly rushed to his help. He dragged avery out of their way and pushed him into the shield. "stay put!"
Ryan who had his back to him, suddenly took out something from his pocket. It was a small gun.
Nico noticed this immediately. "Dylan! He has a gun!" he immediately cast a shield around his mate. With Dylan moving so fast it was hard to keep the shield on his body.
Ryan shot at him. the shield stopped the bullet immediately.
Dylan took the split-second ryan was distracted to rake him down. He slammed into his body, pushing him to the ground. he smashed the shit out of him.
His clean face was already beaten and bleeding.
"that's enough. Stop hitting him," he whispered softly.
He stopped instantly but his glaring eyes were always on the man below. "don't look his way or even speak about him. Any more and I will tear your head apart and tear you limp to limb," he growled loudly.
Ryan simply just looked at him, grinding his teeth. "he is a trickster. He will trick you too…. Just like he tricked me and my men."
Nico frowned even more. This misunderstanding was going on for way long. This guy was obviously not sent by anyone. He really held resentment towards him.
He moved closer and squatted close to that man on the ground.
The man's fearful eyes focused on him.
"did that guy look like me?"
"you are him!"
"no, look closely. Did he look like me? From the looks of it you two were intimate, right?"
As just he said that ryan's cheeks bloomed bright red. "y-you shameless, how could you talk about it out loud…"
"looks like you were. Tell me where his moles were. Ill prove you wrong,""
"Nico!" dylan shouted. "you don't have to embarrass yourself on his expense. Leave him to me I will tear him limb to limb,"
"shh let me deal with this." Nico did not look at his beloved. his eyes were only focused on the man. "so tell me. Any moles or marks?"
The man hesitated. "he.. he had a mole on his hips… right side…" he whispered softly.
"mole on the right hip." Nico who was only wearing his pants turned and expose his hip bone. "do you see any mole here?"
"you are a witch you could have easily made it disappear.
"oh shut it. I don't even know two spells. I'm only now learning to be a witch, I can't make things disappear for god's sake now tell me. Do you see a mole on me?"
"n-no…" the man's face went pale.
"good." Nico showed him the right side of his neck. His mating mark was apparent. "do you see this?"
"you can't fool me with a tattoo…"
"it's a mating mark. I have had this for thousand of years. My beloved out there can vouch for me. Because he was the one who marked me the dau eh was born." He gestured for Dylan/
Wolfie, who was in control proudly nodded. " he is my mate and mine alone. The one you met was a cheap counterfeit,"
The man stammered. "b-but.., but he… he looked like you… you.. you are a witch you can fool us with magic. You can easily fool me and…."
Nico glanced at him with a frustrated smile. "look at me carefully. Do you feel any similarities between the two of us? From what I hear that guy was a seductive fox. Do I feel like that?"
The man hesitantly shook his head.
"There is your answer. Not everything can be hidden with magic. Especially one's personality can't be changed by magic at all." Nico gestured for Dylan to capture him.
His men had already noticed this situation and they all took off leaving him behind.
Ryan is tied up and brought into the pack house.
Dylan imprisoned him in the small confinement room in the basement.
Taking a deep breath, he glanced up at him. "you are bleeding…" he worriedly wiped at his nose.
Nico pushed his hands away. "Dylan… tell me now.. do you believe me?"
Dylan shook his head and pulled him in for a hug. "I never once doubted you."
"but… but back then you.. you looked at me frowning. I thought.. I thought you were doubting me."
"I don't doubt you at all. I was frowning because you did not listen to me and ran out. You always do that. you never listen," he whispered caressing his cheeks. "its worrying…."
Nico blushed slightly. "shut up…."
