The Bully's Hated Mate
The Bully’s Hated Mate – Chapter 36

CASSIA’S POV:

There was no time, as one of the bears had lunged for an attack, moving its gigantic body towards my small frame in a frightful embrace.

I quickly swerved from its path, crunching on my knees in defense as it went another round.

I couldn’t believe that Lucius had just f*****g left! I inwardly screamed as the bears started to walk in parallel positions, in a bid to try to corner me for an attack.

I had learnt enough to know that in situations where the bear charges at you, you can’t run and you shouldn’t provoke the bear even further.

What the hell was I supposed to do now?

I watched as the two bears walked in parallel formation, heads bowed and on all fours. They were going to charge at me any moment from now.

I needed an escape route and fast because there was no way that I was going to be able to just swerve out of their way again. I needed to do something lest I be exceptionally unlucky.

If only Lucius were here.

I mentally jabbed myself in the eye for even thinking about that t**t in this moment.

Myla growled in agreement, our eyes moving back and forth at the two grizzly bears that were prepared to make snacks out of our bones.

They backed up a bit, trying to gain more ground as I knew they were about to charge at me ferociously.

This was my chance! As they drew back, getting ready to do damage, I knew I didn’t have the time to change and if I even attempted to change, I could be killed mid transformation and that would be the ugliest sight to die in.

No way!

I timed their movements, waiting for a perfect opportunity to bolt right past them, even though I knew what I was about to do was going to be one of the most insane and probably the most stupid thing I had ever done.

They drew back on their hindlegs, gaining momentum at the same time, wanting to charge in at the same time.

As they drew back, the same time that I drew in the sharpest and deepest breathe I had ever mustured, I prepared my body for the only transformation that I knew would help me escape.

I needed Myla to pump me full of adrenaline, adrenaline high enough to transport my rebound energy from my wolf form to my legs and arms only.

I knew no matter how much strength I had as a wolf, it could never match the one a grizzly bear had and now that I had two of that problem, I was going to be dinner if I tried that option.

Which was why I wasn’t going to be doing that at all.

Immediately they started to run towards my direction, heads bowed and thick on all fours, I count to five s they get closer towards me.

Five

I breathed in sharp breaths.

Four

They charge at me, heads strong and purpose even stronger. To make me their new fish bowl.

Three

I fire up my adrenaline, cooing Myla as she g*****d and yowled, I knew my eyes were already turning yellow.

Two

I force my legs to take up the shape of my wolf, as quickly as I could, my normal legs transforming to hindlegs and rooting them deeply into the ground as my energy flowed to the assigned places.

One

Their heads are breaths close to my body.

I quickly sped up the light jump as high as I could, landing right outside of the box that they had created and barely finding my balance.

I didn’t have any time to look at the damage I may have done to the bears or to the earth. I had to survive, no matter what! If not for myself, at least to have the opportunity to finally kill Lucius for the hundredth time.

I begin to run, a part of the transformation making me able to sense my opponents stronger than before. I began to wonder why I didn’t sense them before, why I didn’t hear them before now and it clicked.

Lucius.

Of course, it was him.

He had a way of getting into my head and making me lose focus on the most important things and now, where was Lucius now?

He fled! That’s right, he had fled and left me here to be eaten by grizzly bears in a bloody camp!

I was enraged and I knew the bears were catching up on me.

I let the rage lead me as I ran. Myla thought it would be better to go full transformation and while I disagreed, she went on to do it.

I argued in my head that it would cost us more time and she argued that it would save both of our lives.

As we began to shift, I sensed the bears gaining more momentum on us, the speed and the heads-up I had gotten from the time I evaded them, it all seemed to be nothing as their thick musky scent wafted through my nose like air, filling up my lungs faster than what I used to breathe.

I tried to run but my legs started to feel deflated.

This couldn’t be happening and most especially, not now. Not now when all that matter was surviving and getting rid of Lucius. Myla and I g*****d in agony as our transformation was near complete, when we screamed in agony.

One of the bears had nicked my arm, I didn’t even notice that the bears had separated from each other.One was currently on my left side and the other was behind me and gaining on me.

I wanted to see just how much distance I had left and I turned a bit to take a look behind me. I screamed just in time as I missed a huge swipe from the bear at my side.

I was running so fast and I wasn’t even fully transformed. My snot was forming and my legs were fully formed.

I had to give more speed as I needed more time to shift completely. I pushed past the pain that was wearing my muscles. Hating why I didn’t do better exercises.

This was all lucius’ fault! And I should have never in any circumstances, felt sorry for the dimwit. He never changed and no maount of care or concern that I show or any form of deep conversation we have is going to ever stop that. He was a dimwit and he didn’t care about me in any way necessary.

I pushed some more, giving better distance. I couldn’t believe my eyes, it must have been the moon goddess because no way could I have given this amount if distance and from both bears as I shifted completely.

The shift made me slow a bit, making the bears catch up with me once more, the bear feom beside me, stood up all of a sudden and made to lung at me. At this point I was beyond angry. I as enraged.

I stood up on all fours, a bear was big but a werewolf is always bigger. I’m small for my size but this ought to work.

I stood up on my hindlegs, enlarging the muscles at every end and my hands too and with an anger I let out an angry roar. The bear stopped in it’s track and the one behind me, stopped abruptly. I took this as another blessing.

They had stopped but I continued to roar even more and growl, my eyes turning even darker. They backed up a bit and I took this as a sign and took off again, increasing my speed even more.

I could see the camo, minutes away from where I was, the bears were still trying to chase me but I knew that if only I could cross the threshold between the camo and the forest that I would have back up at least, no s**t from Lucius.

I ran even wilder, running in a zig zag motion, hoping to confuse the grizzly bears as I ran.

As I ran, I made more loud noises hoping to destabilize and attract the other campers present.

I was two meters close to the threshold when again I let out a pained growl, I blindly opened my mouth and snapped at whatever it was that caused me pain. I didn’t wait to hear the sound the source of pain made, I bit down hard and dragged with all my might.

I crossed the threshold and while the other campers ran outside, I didn’t stop. I ran till I got to the side of my tent. That was where I saw Lucius.

I have never been as disgusted as I was seeing him, never been angry and never felt more betrayed as I glanced down to see my white fur covered in red.
