Unexpected outcome

Something snapped within her; she turned to one of the men and bit into his hand, which held her with all her might. It had been unexpected, so he let go of her with a howl. Next, she turned to the other one trying to hold her in place, and kicked him right in the bullocks as she dashed away towards the forest.

“Well, after her!!!” was the command she heard, and she looked behind her to see them running after her.

Mara continued sprinting away as all she felt was the wind in her ears till they eventually caught up with her.

That was how her once-perfect morning had taken a downturn to the horror-filled night. Her mother and father had just been slain right before her eyes, and her brother, whom she was uncertain of his whereabouts, was nowhere to be found.

Right now, from how she sat, her wounded leg hurt badly but not as hurtful as the thoughts of what would occur here.

The man with his claws still held her, and she could feel the rest of his part sneering as his hand squeezed her throat to keep her in place.

Her eyes had grown wide and seemed like they would be bursting out of her sockets soon enough as the

claws drew closer.

Mara could hear her heartbeat in a marathon as blood flowed in her ears. This was probably the means to an abrupt end for her.

This man did not care about her and would mutilate her and send her off to this Grimshaw person to finish the game he had started.

She knew very well that she should apologize before it was too late, but the pride within was deafening. She could not stoop that low to show off how weak a person she was. She had to do something, even if it was a little act of bravery.

Mara started struggling without removing her eyes from the claws steadily approaching her.

“Let…me…go!!!” she yelled through gritted teeth.

He smirked again with that very evil look on his face. Mara was sure he had something planned out for her which would not be in her favor.

“Act rashly one more time, and I will not hesitate to end your life here,” He commented again, pausing in his claw approach.

Resigned, Mara knew that no matter what she did, her captors remained unbothered by her antics.

They seemed to be impossibly solid and durable.

Seeing her complacent attitude, the man released her throat and yanked her closer to him before lifting her and throwing her over his shoulder like she was lighter than a sack of flour and carrying her further within the forest.

She stayed quiet now, giving nothing away. A numbness had replaced the pain, and Mara wondered if this was what death felt like.

Maybe after a while, the hurt was replaced by a certain coldness. Because even if they didn’t kill her, some of her still died along with her parents. 

Now, a certain clarity seemed to fill her mind, taking over the pain.

As she stared at the white snow hanging upside down from the shoulder of the brute carrying her, Mara tried to think of a way to escape.

Yes, she had no idea where the nearest village was. She wasn’t sure she’d get to a safe shelter before the cold took her and they caught her again, but that was a far better way.

She had no idea what these monsters intended to do with her, and she shuddered at the indecent images that entered her mind. 

Yes, Mara would take her chances with the night and the cold. 

But first, she needed this brute to drop her. 

Come on, Mara. Think. Think. 

Then, as if the heavens heard her prayer, the pendant from the necklace her mother gifted her swung free from inside her dress and gently in front of her vision.

It was a simple trinket - Mara didn’t even know if there was any value to the stone - but it was priceless to her. The white, jagged gem hung from a chain of silver, seeming to glow softly in the moonlight.

Mara was mesmerized as she grabbed hold of it. 

It was the only thing she could use as a weapon, and she hoped that what she was thinking would work.

Mara slipped the necklace off so the other two hulking figures beside them wouldn’t notice. 

Holding it tightly with both hands, she twisted her body to wrap the chain around the man’s neck.

As soon as the chain met the man’s skin, Mara heard a soft sizzling noise and the man holding her cried out in pain.

Mara felt herself slipping as the man dropped her, and she plopped unceremoniously onto the snow with the necklace in hand. 

The two other men standing guard on either side of her rushed over to their comrade, inspecting him closely.

The man was whimpering softly and clutching at his neck. Mara could see the necklaces sizzling softly in the snow as she looked.

She didn’t understand what was happening until she looked up and saw the men turning to her.

Even in the shadows of the night, she could see the angry, red line where the chain met the man’s skin. It appeared blistered and raw, as though the chain had burned him. 

Mara furrowed her eyebrows, wondering how this could be. But her confusion was quickly replaced by horror as the man in front of her began to change. “Anias, no,” the man on the right practically growled. 

Mara watched as the man carrying her, Anias, snapped at him.

He snapped his teeth towards his friend.

But what made Mara start to move was the size of his teeth. They had grown into long canines, and his eyes glowed a bright yellow.

Mara knew it was impossible. People’s eyes don’t glow like that.

But that’s what she was seeing.

    His piercing scream and then the impact on her body from the way the old alpha had slammed herreached into her depths. Mara had never been more pained and even now, she had forgotten how toturn for a moment into her human form. Her baby was all that mattered to her and then she got over itand let it free. She had returned back to her human for, bare and all. The minute she opened her eyes, two things happen simultaneously. Grimshaw pulled a dagger andthen held it close to her stomach area just as she saw Sebastian in the action of trying to make it over. “Now you stop there boy or I would be sending her and your baby to hell.” He said “Baby?” Sebastian asked caught dead in his tracks Yes baby. Continue wizard.” Grimshaw said to the wizard whom yet again had been distracted. Sebastian must not have believed his ears when he closed his eyes and listened. He could hear it finallythrough the noise, the steady tiny beating heart of the child within her. He could not believe his ea

    He pulled her along quickly taking the shorter route to the stone altar he already had in preparation fortheir rites. The wizard was there and Grimshaw had never been more excited over his plans ahead andof time of making the wizard key into all his plans with Alexa the late sorceress. The breach of his wallshad seriously extended to where they were and it was only a matter of time before they get closer andget to him. But not for long, he was going to make certain he beats them to it. He had some of his menstand guard around the place as he pulled Mara along. He was not going to waste anymore time.“You may begin.” He said to the wizard“Yes my lord. Everything is nearly prepared but we might still be needing the one inhabited by life.” Thewizard said.Grimshaw caught Mara smirking but he had a surprise for her.“Oh she is the one inhabited by light.” He said“But I thought Alexa…” the confused wizard said“Alexa was gullible and let a little girl play a fast one on her. But su

  • Bad Moon Rising    A breach

    She has been unnecessarily frustrating since he took her to see Zyair and abruptly refused eating until hefrees the boy. Grimshaw also knew within that the knowledge that her own mother had put him onpermanent protection was something way more challenging for her. He felt really proud but morehappy about the fact that her powers were actually awakening. It was a go go for him actually as he hadbeen waiting patiently to be able to harness her powers. But since what happened with his men theother day, Grimshaw suspected that something was off with her and her powers. The sorceress hadAlexa had said that it was a force field of death that she wielded based on what Mara had told her buthe could point out loopholes around those words. He knew he had to revisit that issue himself and seefor himself to make certain that her powers were what they seemed. He had asked that his men looksaround and finds the sorceress text but it would turn out that it had disappeared miraculously.Grim

  • Bad Moon Rising   A pawn of Grimshaw.

    They had been trying hard at keeping their ranks for sometime now as they had been really busy with the enemies. It was really tough as Sebastian had not been to war in a long but luckily for him, he had the experience and the true qualities of a leader. More and more had been falling into his ranks and aligning with his troops as everyone seemed to be calling for an end to Grimshaw’s reign. There were leaders around him both young ones and older ones to advise him and brush up his strategies. They were not so much but they were doing really well at holding out on the enemies. They fact that theywere short numbered was a cause for alarm as this was war and not a fairytale. It would only be a couple of moments and then the enemies would see through the hidden loopholes in their formation and then it would be their turn to start suffering the ills of war. That was just what Sebastian had been fighting tooth and nail to avoid. He could not loose this war. Not with the glimmer of hope h

  • Bad Moon Rising   My lord she's gone.

    Three days since he sent out his men, he still was not getting any responses from the battlefield. He last heard that they were engaging each other already at a place not so far from his castle, and now he heard nothing more. Grimshaw had sent three ravens out already. Two to the light claw pack and one to his general out at the war front, but neither had responded. The panic of not knowing was killing him; all he wanted now was reassurance from the general that his men were doing well, followed by a backup from the light claw pack.Apparently, it would seem like the old pack wanted nothing to do with or assist him. Grimshaw was not short of surprises as he knew well enough that all this had everything and more to do with the distraction he had received the other night of the banquet.The heavens knew what his son and Mara had voiced to the alpha. He had been told that they met with the man away from the banquet table, and although they tried to make it seem like a tour of the sorts o

    “You should stop pressurizing him about these things, Max. It is not his problem.” Artemia said to her brother.“So you think,” Maxwell said.“So I know.” She said to him, firing up.Maxwell had been at the top of his beefing with his father again; this time, he was not buying his cowardice. He could not understand why the old man was acting the way he had been, even after the young woman had affirmed that she was being married against her will to this old wolf that seemed tohave been brewing all the troubles in the entire werewolf history.Maxwell had never liked Grimshaw, not even as a child, and many times when his father would meet secretly with this man; he always felt uncomfortable about it all. His father had not sent troops to help when the first war had happened, and as a child, he had not understood the reason why but this time, he was already beginning to think about it having relations with Grimshaw.All these years, they had been living in the wild and away from everyone
