He couldn't run forward...he'd crash directly into them.
He couldn't turn back, the Moon Hunters were closing in behind him.
"Shit.." he growled in his head, claws digging into the soil.
He had two enemies now.
And one wrong move meant exposure.
The hunters' footsteps thundered louder. Lights swept closer. Their low voices carried through the trees, though low but enough for him to hear.
The wolf turned left, then exploded into motion again, tearing through a cluster of trees. The Moon Hunters followed instantly, their lights slicing through the branches after him. Thankfully, the humans didn't see anything, just the flash of movement too fast for human eyes.
Eryx's chest heaved as he ran, breath coming in harsh bursts.
He didn't want to go back to Azrael's house.
He couldn't.
He'd be leading danger straight to them...
Straight to her.
Athena's face flickered in his mind and his wolf snarled, protective fury boiling in his chest.
