The ground shook with each step as it barreled through the ruined gate, its enormous bulk moving with terrifying speed despite the spear jutting from its shoulder.
Fifteen feet tall.
Over a ton of muscle and fury.
Coming straight at me.
I turned and ran.
My lungs burned as I crashed through the undergrowth, branches whipping at my face, roots trying to catch my feet in the darkness.
The forest was dense here, trees packed close together, the canopy above blocking out most of the moonlight.
I could barely see where I was going.
But the Alpha didn't have that problem.
It crashed through the forest behind me like an avalanche, its massive bulk simply destroying anything in its path.
Trees splintered. Bushes were flattened.
And it was getting closer.
I pushed my enhanced agility to its absolute limit, but it wasn't enough.
The gap was closing.
I could hear its breathing now, heavy, labored, but relentless. Could smell the odor of its fur and the blood coating its muzzle.
