~{INGRID'S POV}~
*
"This isn't just any contest, Ingrid, it's a battle. Imagine being the first to find the dragon only for other werewolves from other packs to gang up against you and kill you especially since you're a Theta wolf with no significance."
Tears filled my eyes as I got reminded of what my brother said to me before I even set out for this journey.
I growled and howled at the top of my voice when I felt their fangs pierce into my skin. And the more I struggled to survive, the more I recalled my brother waving at me while shouting, "Be safe!"
When they refused to let go, I switched back to my human form and in doing so, we all collapsed to the ground and I climbed them with the aim of running away but they gripped my hands and legs, making me scream and cry out for help.
I couldn't die this way. No, I couldn't!
