Through the portal Howard had created, Ed, along with some werewolves and witches, were able to safely leave. In the end, only Dmitri, Adrianna, Liam, Fleur, Howard, and three other werewolves were left.
Adrianna growled at Dmitri, "Go through that portal while I am still able to hold this down."
He refused, "No Adri, I will stay with you."
She looked at the others but none of them agreed to go.
Howard understood that her energy was depleting. He realized that they would be able to go only until while Adrianna is inside the circle, but for how long would she be able to maintain it? Moreover, the moment the circle breaks, the neotides would attack them. It was a very strange situation – they could not leave Adrianna but they were also aware that Adrianna could never enter the portal under this situation.
"Adrianna, stop!" shouted Howard. "It's of no use now. We have to fight the neotides."
