Chapter 43 : With the Help of the Goddess

*Estelle*

The concrete had injured my paws, but I couldn’t stop running. He was still following me. The city wasn’t far now; my only hope was to lose him there. My body was seized by a muscle spasm and I stumbled.

I lay on my side, shocked by the bizarre sensation that had hit me. Realization came over me slowly and with it, came horror. The sensation hit again and I knew; I was going into labor.

I got to my feet and ran. The contractions were sporadic and slowed me down each time they hit, but I pushed through them and kept running. I would not let him catch me. I would not let my baby be hurt.

There were houses around me, but I didn’t stop moving. I shifted to my human form as I continued to run forward. I could only pray that someone would see me and intervene. My hands and feet were bloody and I held my stomach as I ran. I was off-balance in this form, but I was so afraid a human would shoot me if they saw a wolf in their neighborhood.
