Chapter 50

(Juliette's POV).

Six years later...

"Mom!!! Mom!!!

I ran out of the house as soon as I heard Ares' scream. I gasped when I saw that there were many wolves already in our yard, some of them seemed to have emerged from the forest.

"Ares!" I rushed to grab Ares' hand and bring him into my arms. My body trembled violently as they surrounded me with growls that sounded very clear in my ears.

Who were they? Why are they suddenly attacking my house? They're not even Rogue wolves. Then why did they suddenly appear and bother us?

"Mom... T-They're scary," Ares said with a trembling voice. I tightened my grip even more and walked backward as the wolves came closer to us.

"Stop!" I shouted. "What do you want?!"

I felt so scared that they were going to kill Ares and me. My heart was beating so fast when they showed their sharp fangs.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?!" I shouted. I tried to hide my fear, but my voice trembled every time I opened it.

However, they didn't listen to what I said. My eyes glared at the wolf who had just emerged from behind them and he walked past them and stood in the front row.

"Who are you?" I shouted.

The black wolf instantly transformed into human form. He was a male werewolf who looked so burly with his tall, well-built body. His dark hair contrasted nicely with his brownish eyes.

"Juliette Rohan," he growled as he stared at me intently.

I gasped in shock when he learned my name. I walked backward more and more, but every time I took a step away. The wolves would take a step closer to me.

"M-Mom, I'm scared," Ares whispered. He grasped my wrist tightly. His body was shaking violently.

"Mom is here. You'll be fine. I won't let them hurt you," I said trying to calm Ares down even though I was actually very panicked and scared.

In the more than five years I've lived in this old house in the middle of the forest, I've never experienced bullying like this from other wolves. Because this area is close to the city, the wolves from other packs have never questioned my presence here. Since I also rarely show my true identity.

I tried to live a quiet life together with Ares and we got through it together. But I was very surprised that suddenly there were so many werewolves attacking us like this.

"What do you want? How do you know my name?" I asked. I squeezed Ares' hand tightly. My eyes looked straight at the men who were now walking toward me. "Stop! Don't come any closer!" I shouted in warning. I growled loudly and prepared to turn into a wolf if they started attacking us. Because I had to make sure Ares was safe no matter what.

"We?" he smirked at the fear in my eyes. "We want your life," he said.

I gasped in shock. My eyes bulged in alarm. "My life?"

"We came here to kill you," he said firmly. All the wolves around started growling as if they were preparing to attack us.

"Who are you?! What did we do wrong that you all want to kill me?" My voice was hoarse. My throat was constricted.

"Ask your husband that," he said. He quickly morphed into a wolf.

My eyes widened in surprise. I immediately ran while dragging Ares towards the house. And pushed him until he fell in front of the door.

"Mom!!!" he screamed in fear.

"Go inside the house and hide, Ares!" I exclaimed while looking at him. Ares looked so panicked and cried, but quickly did as I told him.

I quickly transformed into a wolf and blocked them all from entering the house. Luckily I had received training from Gabriel in the past so I had pretty good skills. I bounced a few times as I tried to block them from getting into the house, but I also managed to knock a few of them unconscious.

"Akh!!!" I growled in pain as my body was clawed by their leader and I bounced until my body hit the wall of the house. I glared, whimpering in pain, as he clawed my body again. Crushing my body with its big, strong wolf form. I roared in pain that I couldn't bear.

"Mom!! Mom!!"

I panicked and was scared to death when I heard Ares scream from inside the house. My mind was in turmoil and I tried to run past him so I could escape his clutches and save Ares.

But as I ran toward the door, one of the wolves in the house lunged at me and I fell to the ground with wounds and blood oozing from my body.

I had no energy at that time until I transformed into a human. I lay on the ground touching my wound that's oozing blood. While they began to crowd around me roaring, and snarling with sharp teeth and saliva dripping from their mouths.

Is this the end of my life? I asked myself.

"Mom!!!"

"No, no! Stop it! Don't hurt him! Kill me if you want, but don't hurt my child!" I shouted. I tried to stand up and ran towards Ares who was currently being lifted with one hand by their leader. While one hand was ready to tear Ares' body apart with its sharp claws.

I whimpered in pain as I collapsed while trying to stand up straight. My wounds were too deep and numerous. I was crying hysterically. I felt like my chest was being stabbed by a sharp knife as I watched Ares continue to cry hysterically out of fear.

"Mom!!! Mom!!!" she shouted.

"No, please .... You said you just wanted to kill me!!!" I shouted in frustration. I coughed and growled as my body ached even more when I tried to move.

My head felt so dizzy, and lightheaded, and my vision was getting blurry. I tried to get up and try to save Ares, but I fell back to the ground and lost consciousness. The last thing I saw was Ares crying hysterically while calling my name repeatedly. Fear was clearly depicted on his face.
