"Oh, one more thing. Do you think that the legendary protector is much stronger than us or not? "
Kurt asked curiously, wanting to know if the rumors were true about how strong that legendary protector was.
"Probably. I heard that even my parents got defeated by that legendary protector. Mom said that Dad got defeated in one move. Take note, just one move and he's down! "
Kyle said as his eyes sparkled. He remembered hearing that from his mom. At first, he thought that his mom was just joking with him, but got convinced when told that it happened many times and his dad also said so.
He's really looking forward to meeting that legendary protector. Even his dad, who he always looked up to because of his fighting skills, was no match for that legendary protector.
"Not just your dad, even my father and his wolf didn't manage to hit her once."
Ezekhiel, who has been quiet since earlier, spoke up as he himself didn't believe it at first.
Hearing his words, his three friends turned to look at him with wide eyes.
All of them know how strong an alpha can be, especially when his wolf takes control. They can defeat almost everyone, and whenever they're out of control, only their mates can calm them.
"What about Luna Kei? Maybe she helped calm the alpha. That's why he got defeated. "
Kurt asked, wanting to know if their alpha got defeated only because their luna was also there and helped with the situation. Kyle also nodded to prove that he also agreed with what Kurt was saying, while Troye just listened.
Hearing this question from Kurt, Ezekhiel shook his head. Clearly denying Kurt's ideas and speculation.
Both Kurt and Troye knew that even their alpha got defeated without their luna intervening, so they're quite sure that their parents was also defeated, but just didn't tell them afraid that they might tease them.
So now, they're even more excited to meet this legendary protector. They also want to test her strength. Thinking of how strong that legendary protector is, "he" should be older and bulkier than them.
Actually, they didn't know the real gender of that legendary protector. Some said that that's a man, while others disagreed, saying that it's a woman.
But just hearing about how the legendary protector defeated their dads, they all think that that legendary protector might be a man, because what kind of woman can defeat an alpha without his mate, calming them down?
"Alright, enough with the talking. Pack your luggage so that everything will be settled when we're about to leave."
Ezekhiel said as he stood up and went straight to his bedroom to pack his luggage. They would be leaving a day from now, so they hurriedly went to their room and packed their luggage.
On the other hand,
Francis was taking the lead. He led them to the way that Genevieve instructed him to.
After taking the tunnel on the right three times and then the last tunnel on the left, he finally saw some trees and other houses.
Francis suddenly had a bad feeling but ignored it and continued leading the other wolves towards the exit.
When they're out of the tunnel, they saw a forest and immediately become delighted. They were about to shout in joy when they noticed that there were also houses around them.
Francis then looked at Genevieve, who was at the back, and suddenly realized why he got a bad feeling earlier.
Damn it! This woman really dared to let them escape right in front of the hunters! Yes, right, they're currently in front of the house of those hunters. Fortunately, there don't seem to be any hunters lurking around.
Even though Francis really wanted to stop, he couldn't, because the lives of the wolves behind him are now in his and Genevieve's hands. So then, remembering Genevieve's orders, he continued to lead them towards the forest while gesturing for them to keep quiet.
When they were at the entrance of the forest, they suddenly heard a sound.
"Clang!"
Hearing that, everyone looked at the person or wolves who created that sound, and Francis' head suddenly started to ache when he saw who made that sound.
The sound is so loud that it makes the hunters, who are having a meeting, become alert and go out of their meeting house.
Everyone—hunters who had just come out and wolves—looked at Genevieve, who "accidentally" dropped a steel pipe, which she picked up near the tunnel.
"Sorry?"
Genevieve said insincerely, then gestured towards Francis and the other wolves with her eyes to continue walking.
They then again remembered Genevieve's command and ignored the hunters, whose faces turned red from anger and from being ignored, and continued walking to where the supposed animals of Genevieve were waiting.
"Stop right there!"
The leader of the hunters, Tiago, shouted at the escaping prisoners that they had just caught earlier.
Francis and the other wolves didn't mind him and continued walking.
Seeing that he was being ignored, he commanded the other hunters to catch them, but got stopped by Genevieve.
"Not so fast."
Genevieve said as she picked up the steel pipe that she "accidentally" dropped and tapped it with her other hands, looking like a bandit who's looking for trouble.
Oh well, she's indeed looking for trouble.
He glared fiercely at the young woman in front of him. Just as he was about to command his people to attack, he suddenly saw some of his people lying on the ground, bleeding.
Genevieve didn't give them a chance to react. She suddenly ran straight towards the other hunters and hit the hunters on their necks, which made them die instantly.
Francis and the other wolves turned back to look at Genevieve. The other wolves, not knowing Genevieve, got worried, so they turned back to look at her, while Francis looked back to see how Genevieve dealt with them.
When they saw the hunters who were lying on the ground motionless, they were speechless at first and then immediately amazed.
Being distracted by Genevieve fighting the hunters, Francis didn't notice that two hunters—who carried out the mission of kidnapping unmated wolves—were slowly sneaking behind them.
They were only suddenly aware when they heard someone groan.
"Ugh!"
