Alpha's replacement bride is destined mate-Chapter 173 We Meet Again, Beauty

Maggie took from her knapsack a clear glass bottle containing a dark purple liquid. She whispers to the group, " We can use this’ super perfume ’"

"God, why did I forget about it? " Mina said, slapping her forehead violently.

" What’s this?" Emily stared at the clear glass bottle in Maggie’s hand. She remembered that Maggie had been holding it when there had been an explosion in the house the other night, and that they seemed to be experimenting with something at the time.

"It’s a potion we invented to mask odors. " Maggie explained, "As long as we apply the potion to our bodies, dog slaves won’t be able to track our scent."

"Are you sure this potion works? " Susan stared at the potion in the glass bottle with skepticism, "Are there any side effects?"

" I don’t know, but we have to try it." Maggie shrugged, " After all, there’s nothing better to do right now."

" She’s right. We have to try it." Dolly said, " Maggie, let me try this potion first."

Maggie then opened the bottle and poured the purple liquid from it into the palm of her hand and applied it to Dolly’s neck and armpits.

"It will only take three seconds for the potion to work." Maggie said confidently.

As Maggie had said, everyone soon smelled a complex smell of methane mixed with rancid meat. The smell was coming from Dolly’s body, and it was getting so strong that it was almost unbearable.

" We did it Maggie," Mina said happily.

"Everyone hurry up and put the potion on. "Emily urged," We don’t have time."

So one by one each person applied the potion to their bodies, and as there was only a limited amount, by the time it came to Susan’s turn, there was very little left.

Only Carl and Emily were left without the potion, which everyone else had already used. Emily didn’t hesitate, she said to Carl, " Carl, put the rest of the potion on you."

"No. " Carl said firmly, "The rest of the potion should be for you."

"That’s an order. " Emily said in a strong tone, "Do as I say."

"But—"

Before Carl had time to finish his sentence, Emily had taken the bottle of potion directly from Maggie’s hand, and without further ado she poured it over Carl’s naked skin. Carl was a little stupefied, and, looking into Emily’s determined eyes, he refrained from replying.

The yelping of the dog-slaves came nearer and nearer, and the yelping was like a spell of death, tightening the heart of every one. They could distinctly feel that the danger was approaching step by step, and that every second seemed to stretch out infinitely.

" I’ll be the one to draw Dog slave, Carl, you take everyone and run in the direction of the woods." Emily ordered.

"It’s too dangerous for you to be alone." Dolly said, "Let me join you."

" No Dolly. You must go with everybody, and you must protect the princesses. I’ll be more mobile alone and it’ll be easier to distract dog slaves." Emily looked at Carl, " Carl, get everyone out of here."

" Let’s go." " said Carl, leading the party at a rapid trot in the direction of the woods.

After that, Emily ran quickly toward the path opposite to the direction from which all had fled, deliberately making a louder noise as she ran, kicking small stones every now and then so that they rolled on the ground with a sharp sound.

The ears of the dog-slaves are extremely sensitive, and they soon caught the movement made by Emily. They barked furiously in their excitement, and came barreling in Emily’s direction. Dyson’s soldiers heard Dog Slave’s response and immediately followed suit.

Emily ran wildly through the darkness, her heart beating fast, and she could distinctly hear the barking and the approaching footsteps of the soldiers behind her.

The landscape around her became a blur as she ran fast, and only the cold moonlight occasionally fell upon her. She kept changing directions in an attempt to make it harder for the dog-slaves and soldiers to track her. But the Dog Slaves were hot on her trail, showing no signs of letting up.

Suddenly the scarlet eyes of the dog-slave appeared in front. The bloodshot eyes shone strangely and fiercely in the darkness, as if they were the eyes of demons from hell. Emily’s heart sank, and she stopped in her tracks.

Slowly the dog-slaves emerged from the darkness, and their figures gradually became discernible. The strong body, the fangs, the ghastly expression, every detail was terrifying. They growled low, and the sound was chilling.

Emily bared her wolf-paws as she looked warily around at the dog-slaves.

The dog-slaves approached slowly, their eyes fixed on Emily as if on prey, and Emily could feel the murderous intent that emanated from their bodies.

Emily and the dog-slaves confronted each other, and the tension was extreme. Suddenly, as if at some signal, several of the Dog Slaves lunged at her at the same time.

Emily’s eyes flinched, and she swung her wolf-paws quickly to meet them. One of the dog-slaves opened its bloody mouth and bit her leg. She dodged deftly to the side, and then with her claws she cut a deep gash in the body of the dog-slave. But instead of retreating, the other Dog Slaves attacked more frantically.

One of the Dog Slaves pounced from the side. Emily turned hastily to resist, but did not notice that another of the dog-slaves was already circling behind her, springing aloft and biting at her neck. Emily’s heart was in her mouth, but by this time she was too late to dodge.

At that instant a figure rushed at Emily’s heels, and one of his hands clutched violently at the neck of the dog-slave who was about to bite her. With a crack of bone the dog-slave’s neck was broken. Then the body of the dog-slave fell limply to the ground, and did not move again.

Emily turned her head, and she saw the man’s face.

"Carl, what are you doing here? " Emily asked in shock.

"I’m sorry Luna. I have disobeyed your commands. " Carl said to Emily, "I can’t let you face danger alone, it’s my duty to protect you."

"Watch out—" A Dog slave lunged towards Emily. Carl immediately slashed the dog-slave in the stomach with his wolf’s paw.

The surrounding dog-slaves did not retreat at Carl’s sudden appearance, their scarlet eyes gleaming savagely in the darkness, and their low growls seemed the prelude to death.

A huge dog-slave was the first to strike, and, like a flash of black lightning, he rushed forward, sending up a puff of fishy wind. Carl’s eyes were cold, and he reacted instantly. He sidestepped slightly, his right leg was fierce, and he kicked Dog Slaves in the stomach. Kicked by this tremendous force, the dog-slave flew backwards, knocking down several of his companions, who were about to pounce upon him. The dog-slaves rolled on the ground, uttering wails of pain, but presently they rose again, and once more bared their fangs, ready for another round. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

At the same moment another of the cunning dog-slaves came up on Emily’s flank, and her senses perceived the danger, and she reacted quickly. Her claw was like a silver bolt of lightning, and it cut through the cheek of the dog-slave. The dog-slave uttered a cry of pain, but did not retreat. Instead, it opened its bloody mouth even more wildly and bit Emily. Emily made a deft turn and smoothly kicked Dog Slave in the abdomen, sending it far.

" There are too many of them, let me deal with Dog slave," Carl blocked in front of Emily, " You run."

" We’ll go together." Emily said stubbornly.

" I’ll catch up with you." Carl pushed Emily hard to the other side where there was no Dog slave, " We’ll meet up at the first hill ahead. Hurry or we’ll all die."

So Emily drew a long breath as she ran through the darkness. The rustling of the wind muffled the hissing of the dog-slaves, and she dared not stop.

" We’ll meet up at the first hill ahead."

Emily took to heart what Carl had said. She was going to find the first hill where she would wait for Carl.

Suddenly a sharp shot pierced the still night. The sound was like a thunderbolt, and exploded in Emily’s ears. Her heart sank, and for an instant a feeling of uneasiness surged through her.

Emily jerked to a halt, thinking to herself that something must have happened to Carl, and that she must go back and rescue him.

But when Emily turned, a black gun was pointed at her head, and then countless red infrared rays, like the tentacles of the devil, shot at her from every direction, closing in on her. Those infrared rays flashed in the darkness as if to announce that her fate was under control.

" We meet again, beauty." Dyson gripped his gun with an eerie smile.
