The drive drove the car back, the wheels screeched against the ground before he turned the steering wheel to the left and drove it on the full speed.
"Tyler, I told you to run with Samyra. The wolf is going to catch us," David said as he looked behind, checking the wolf, who was right after the car.
"Sir, I have exceptional driving skill. Trust me. I’ll make sure to cross the border safely," Tyler told him. Samyra held the handle bar tightly, telling David to calm down and trust their driver. Tyler had been in their service for over seven years.
The howls of the wolves had reverberated in the sky, scaring all three of them. But they had to keep their courage intact to get out of this tense situation.
David looked at his phone and called Amelie, but because of the bad network the call couldn’t connect. He thought to tell Amelie to save Flora from getting punished because the real culprit behind it was Alex.
"Whom are you calling?" Samyra inquired.
"Amelie," David replied. "But there’s network problem," he added, turning his head behind and saw the approaching warrior wolf. His gaze landed on the second one, who was faster than the first one.
"Tyler, slow down the car! I have to jump out to stop the wolves approaching the two of you," David ordered.
However, Tyler didn’t.
"Tyler, it’s an order from me. We three can die and I can’t let it happen. So, please do what I’m saying," David told him.
"But Sir, they will rip you apart," Tyler stated, not wanting David to die like this.
"Let’s trust Tyler. They are still a little away from us," Samyra said after turning her head behind.
The car was at its highest speed and they were just a few meters away from the border. Suddenly, a heavy downpour started slowing the car’s speed.
"Fuck!" Tyler cursed under his breath as the visibility of the road become slower too. However, the wolves hadn’t slowed down even a bit.
"Tyler, let me get off. Stop the car and drive away as soon as I lunge at the warriors," David pronounced.
"Listen to David," Samyra stated. She knew she could loose her husband tonight, but to save things from getting ruined she had to be strong and cross the border of Red River Pack at any cost.
David held the hand of his wife for the last time, squeezing it as if it was his last time. "Tell Amelie that I should have been a nice father to her. Tell her if possible she should forgive me," he whispered to Samyra, who ended up hugging him.
Tyler slowed the car’s speed as his eyes turned misty. He wiped the tears from his other hand and saw David had opened the car’s door.
He slammed the door shut as soon as he exited it. Samyra clung to the window to look at her husband, holding her tears.
Tyler sped up the car and went ahead while David turned into his wolf form before lunging toward the four wolves, who were behind the car.
Samyra kept her head behind as tears started rolling down her cheeks. "David, please..." she whispered. She could feel the same burning ache in her heart which one would get after getting hit.
"Was my Amelie chased the same way?" Samyra muttered, bringing her hand close to her chest.
"Madam, please hold yourself together. If you want once we cross the border, I will go and save sir," Tyler pronounced.
"No. We need to hurry for San Ravendale. David... I trust his strength. He will make it," Samyra stated, giving herself a hope more than him.
Just then, their car collided against something heavy, but it got saved from overturning. However, a crack appeared in the front windshield. The rain water began seeping through it.
Tyler saw that the wolf was going to hit the car with another blow but he reversed it before turning it away from the wolf’s reach. The wheels screeched against the ground but he was able to drive the car toward the border.
"Ahhh!" Samyra screamed when the car got another hit from behind and it stopped all at once. The engine of the car caught the fire.
Tyler and Samyra felt it was the end for them. However, Tyler acted swiftly.
"Get out!" Tyler shouted, yanking the door open and dragging Samyra out with him. They sprinted toward the northern trail while rain had already soaked their clothes.
Behind them, the car exploded, injuring two of the pursuing wolves with it.
Samyra stumbled, her legs shaking. "David..." she murmured, her heart twisting in pain as she looked back at the inferno behind them.
Something had happened to her husband. Samyra felt it in the pit of her soul. The bond they shared wasn’t responding anymore. Just... emptiness. Her breath hitched, and her steps faltered.
Then, without warning, a massive wolf appeared in their path, blocking their way. Tyler skidded to a stop, pulling Samyra behind him protectively.
But instead of attacking, the wolf leapt clean over them, crashing into the three wolves that had been closing in on their backs.
"Is that... Beta Zander?" Tyler whispered in awe because he never expected that Alex’s beta would save them.
"Madam, let’s go. We are too close to the border now," Tyler said with a hopeful gaze and he dragged Samyra with him, whose limbs had stopped giving strength to her.
"My-my husband," she murmured.
"Sir will be fine. Don’t worry. We need to reach to your daughter," Tyler told her. That was the aim that they had to follow from the beginning.
Finally, they had crossed the border and as per the promise to David, Tyler made sure one of them would make it to outside the border.
The distant growls and howls of the wolves could be heard, but for Samyra her world had destroyed. Tyler looked at her and took off his blazer. He draped it over Samyra, who kept gazing blankly into the distance.
