Chapter 46: Fighting a Losing Battle

Krell shouted at Willard to be careful! The next moment, he stood behind Willard and was slammed with a claw heavily on his back. Krell was knocked to the ground. Then, a few wild wolves took the opportunity to pounce on him and bite his shoulder, back, and throat. Willard was shocked. He hurriedly rushed over and knocked away the wolves. Locas also hissed at Willard. "Willard, take care of your brother. We'll take care of these people." However, the current situation was even more critical. Although Simon and Locas were not weak, it was simply too difficult for the two of them to deal with so many wild wolves. With Kasim heavily injured, it was impossible for him to return to his human form, let alone fight. Willard hugged his brother and shouted Krell's name. His entire body was covered in blood. His neck had been severely bitten open, and several pieces of flesh on his shoulder and back had been torn off. It looked like a disaster. They were both in human form and Willard was already hugging his brother and crying. "Krell, my brother. You have to be alright. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have disobeyed you and let them go. If I hadn't betrayed you, this wouldn't have happened between us. If there were any problems, we could solve them together. It's all my fault." Krell forced his eyes open and licked his hand. He said in a low voice, "Don't be sad, Willard. I'm your brother. No matter what happens, I need to look out for you. I know it was my fault in the past. I always treated you as a child. But I hope that you can be safe and happy under my protection. I don't want you to be in any danger!" Willard nodded vigorously. "Krell, I know that. It's my fault. I've admired you since I was young. In my heart, you're my hero. I've always looked up to you and seen you as a role model. I hope that one day, I can be like you. I can take care of everything in the entire pack and shelter the entire pack, but I can't. I want to be as independent as an adult, but I also want to rely on you. Brother, please forgive me. Stay with me. We'll get through this." Krell's eyes revealed a rare trace of affection. I even detected a smile. "Silly boy, why would I care about this? I hate betrayal, but not from you. You're my brother. I hate you for letting him go, but I'm more worried about you and her." As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at me. Willard nodded repeatedly. "Although I let them go, I was also worried about her safety. I'm afraid that Kasim will hurt her again. She's such an innocent and silly girl. Kasim has set up traps everywhere, so I can't bear to see her fall for it again. That's why I followed them out here. Brother, please forgive me. I know you like her, but I'm sorry, Brother. I fell in love with her too." Krell finally said to me, "Mia, I know I've put you in a difficult position. We're late, and I can't protect you anymore. You must be happy now cuz you're about to get rid of me, but Mia, you have to believe that I love you." But for some reason, my head hurt more and more. While they were talking, the situation became more and more against us. Locas and Simon were also injured and bleeding. They were retreating step by step. At this moment, someone suddenly pounced on me. Of course, they knew that as long as they caught me, all the problems would be solved. Willard could not care about anything else. He shifted back into his wolf form and jumped over and pressed me to the ground, protecting me with his body. The black wolf missed, but Willard was also hit on the back. He groaned in pain and fell to the ground, rolling. In his wolf form, he protected Krell and me behind him. Kasim had already recovered a little of his strength. He stood up with difficulty and still stood in front of me. He said to me, "Mia, take care of yourself." Then, he blocked the wolf that was pouncing at me. Krell was lying on the ground; he shifted back into his wolf but was too weak to fight. I couldn't help but pick him up and kiss his forehead. "Krell, hang in there for me. You haven't given me a cake yet." This was what he had promised me in the past. He knew that I liked sweet food and wanted me to eat whatever I wanted. His neck was torn open, and blood was flowing from the long wound, dyeing his fur red. Krell's wolf head hung in my lap. He looked extremely weak. He reminded me of how Willard looked like he was seriously injured. I couldn't imagine the consequences. I no longer had the ability to heal him, and Kasim was also seriously injured. "What should I do?" I clutched him to me. "Krell, don't you know how much I need you? Although you're always so arrogant, I only feel at ease when you're around. I admit that I've always been too soft-hearted and can't even say no to you. But do you know that I'm already used to being pampered and protected by you?" My head was killing me. My tears fell on his face. I wanted to press my hand against his wound to stop his bleeding, but it didn't work at all. "Krell, can you forgive me? I promise I will be a good girl if you can be alright. I'll stay by your side, okay?" Krell's eyes seemed to light up. He rubbed his wolf head against my chest and revealed a trace of satisfaction. "I just heard that. You can't go back on your word. My Mia, I wish things would have been different. I did all this for you." I had only left him for a day, and now we were already facing a life-and-death situation. Just now, I had hated him for using me. Now, at this moment, I realized that in the depths of my heart, I already couldn't live without him. While I was still panicking, Kasim was also sent flying and fell beside him. That cute little boy was covered in blood and lying on the ground while blinking at me. "You have to take care of yourself, Mia." As he said that, he actually closed his eyes. "Oh my god, his body is torn and tattered, and blood is flowing profusely." "What should I do? What should I do to heal them?" I didn't have the energy or time to think about this. Then, Willard and Locas were beaten out. "Oh my god, they are all seriously injured. What should I do?" But even so, they were still trying their best to stand in front of me to protect me. Only the blood-soaked Simon was still trying his best to fight with the alpha wolf. But soon after, Simon was also thrown out by the alpha. He fell heavily in front of me, not even having time to say a word to me. "What should I do?" I didn't even have the strength to lift my eyelids to take a look. I felt pain all over and couldn't think straight. The wolf leader slowly walked toward me and gave a cold laugh. "My honorable Moon Goddess, I suppose now you can consider making our pack stronger, right? Look at them. They're all leaders of other packs, but now they have to beg for my mercy. They've done so many bad things in the past and want to use their descendants to make up for this mistake. Do we have to be destroyed? Do we have to live in the shadows? Since you want to punish them, you shouldn't give them a chance. And what did we do wrong? For thousands of years, you've been treating us like shit." I knew that back then, the Wild Wolves committed even greater crimes. That was why I had granted the other packs' development and denied theirs. However, the Wild Wolves had never shown any signs of repentance. They had always been waiting for the right time to strike and take over. At this moment, there were all kinds of situations in those packs. That was why the Sun God and I decided to punish them. The good thing was their alpha was constantly correcting their mistakes later on and letting their descendants make up for their mistakes. That was why they got to survive and develop. However, once the curse and punishment were formed, they needed to be broken. I was the key part in breaking this curse. Now, they were all lying at my feet. I needed to heal them and repel the wolves. Otherwise, this would be the rise of the Wild Wolves and the end of other packs. With this in mind, I became even more anxious. I had to figure out a way. I couldn't watch them die like this!
