The BattleDennis bowed in respect and rushed out almost immediately to carry out my orders. The forest surrounding us, fortunately showed signs of holding its breath as we made preparations for the battle that is unavoidable. Not quite long, the attackers from the rival pack stormed in. Counting the number randomly, I noticed a hundred men were present. The information from our scouts came out right.“The great Alpha Hector,” the men that just arrived called out in reverence as a huge figure emerged with authority. "Is that what the man is called, Hector?" I asked Dennis in a whisper.Dennis replies, “That's the rude and most callous unforgiving, and power hungry alpha of Night Howler.”Alpha Hector's voice was heard echoing deep in the forest in mockery. "Who dares come out to be in charge here?"I swallowed an invisible lump that magically formed on my throat. And I knew for sure that this moment, was mine to shine.“If by your silence it means you do not have a leader, then your
Elisa’s POVI gaze at Damien softly as I gently dab the wet clothe against his wound, he hisses and I make my dabs lighter, my heart heavy seeing him in pain.“Is there a problem?” I hear him ask and my eyes met his, already welling with tears. I shake my head trying to withhold my tears but he instead pulls me closer into a hug.I feel my shoulders drop and I succumb into his embrace. It was so warm.He finally pulls from the hug and faces me, his eyes softening as they met with mine. “Tell me El, is there a problem?”I sigh and look to the side, a blush creeping onto my cheeks. “Nothing.. I just.. I was scared.”A smile spread on Damien's lips. “Scared that I'd have been brutally killed?” Hearing this, I immediately slap his chest and he bursts into a light chuckle.“Don't say it that way you brat.” I said and stood up, walking towards the cupboard to get a pair a clean clothes he is meant to change into.I'm suddenly pulled by the arm by Damien and I land on his chest with a light
Elsa’s POVDennis’s hesitation sends a shiver down my veins, and I sense something is amiss. His eyes lock onto mine, filled with concern, but he wouldn't speak. “Are you going to talk? Or are you going to stare at me all day?” I asked, my voice dripping with force. “I can't hide anything from you can I?” Dennis says.“No, you can't. Not after you call me with that tone,” I respond, with the sassiest tone I could mutter. “Dennis,” I called. “Luna,” he answered and continued talking. “Luna, we've received reports of a strange occurrence near the eastern border,” he begins, his voice filled with an unmistakable urgency. My instincts kick in, and I feel my senses heighten. “What kind of occurrences? Dennis!” I press, my curiosity itching every part of my nerves. Dennis's expression turns grave. His lips give way to something I didn't expect. “Our scouts have reported some findings. Some abandoned campsites and a few of the scouts have spotted shadowy figures lurking around the woo
Elisa’s POV: “No,” I answer and leave. “You know you can't make it!” Caspian sneers. “I have what it takes to pull you and your wretched pack down,” Caspian continues. “This is far from over! You can't win!” He continues yelling and I turn to answer him.“Oh, but I already have,” I answer with my best cold smile. “You can leave when you're done barking. We don't accept loud people in our gathering,” I speak, serving him my best firm look with a death glare. Caspian scoffs, and growls. His eyes registering defeat as I put him in his place. He turns to look around and his eyes dance at the sight of something.I turn my head slowly to follow his gaze as I see Damian, still recovering in the shadows. What is he doing there? Caspian better not touch him.“Isn't that your precious mate?” Caspian taunts. “The dumb one,” Caspian continues.I remain silent, ignoring his snarky remarks. Caspian men laugh, enjoying whatever Caspian was doing.“I heard he is quite dispensable. Useless, an
Elsa’s POV Lightning struck through the dark sky as rain pattered on the ground. “Run, Elsa, run!” I could hear my mother scream in the midst of the confusion. The flashes of thunder let me see the carnage as dead bodies laid on the ground. The Heads of wolves decapitated from their bodies, littered the ground. My father knelt some distance away with an enormous wolf, swiping his head from his shoulders. My mother's calls came once more. “Elsa, run!” I turned in her direction, watching as they dragged her away from me. The sound of horses sounded from my back just as a flash of lightning lit up the sky. I turned around to face a swinging paw, knocking me into a swiveling darkness. I woke up screaming with my hands flailing into the sky. “Another nightmare,” I muttered to myself as I dropped the sheets from my body. I was soaked in my sweat as I stepped out, feeling the chilly wind of the night. “Elsa!” Damian called out as he burst into my room. I wrapped my clothes around my
Damian’s POV I stood inside the room with all the supposed leaders of our supposed pack. Each of them had a look of seriousness on their face as I came inside. “Are we leaving now?” I asked as I looked around the room. A boy with red hair grunted as he stood with the flame flickering from his movements. “Not yet, as we are waiting for when it is closest for the rain to pour. That is the moment humans stay inside more.” “But that isn’t the reason you called me here, Dennis,” I said, realizing even before them of their plan. “You are the only one who associates with her,” He said, looking around the room like everyone inside had the discussion already. “She helped us escape when the humans attacked our former hideout two years ago, yet we all ostracized her because she has never transformed,” I said, gritting my teeth. Dennis heaved a sigh. “She is not one of us until she transforms, Damian. Even she would slow us down when we try to escape.” “You should have her stay behind wi
Elsa’s POV The rain poured through our dilapidated castle, even as we huddled together to ward off the cold. I couldn’t say much for myself as I stood outside, listening to the thunder roll. My first transformation had me overcoming the fear of my dreams with a fear more palpable and in front of me.“I killed a human,” I said as I stared into the distance.“It was your first time,” Damian said, like he meant to comfort me.I heaved a deep breath as I could see eyes staring at me. My little ragtag group of werewolves accepted me more. They believed I was more of a wolf than a human after what they saw when Damian brought me home. We barely escaped whatever those human had for us, trudging under the rain back to our hideout to escape.“What’s happening?” I asked as howls sounded, with people stepping out. The rain faded with growls sounding behind me and in front of me. “Elsa,” Damian called as he moved towards me, dragging me behind the line.The people came out with a male leadin
Elsa’s POV Days passed by quickly, with everyone trying to adjust to our continuous raid to stock on our food supplies.“How is the new werewolf managing her powers?” Damian asked as he entered my room.I sighed as I walked closer to him. “How many times do I have to tell you about entering my room without announcing your presence? Ever heard of a knock on the door or the side?”He turned away, tapping his feet on the ground. “I’m sorry. I was just excited to see you this morning after everything. It happened so fast, from the raid at the human place to how those rival groups tracked us to our place.”I smiled, patting him on the shoulder before I walked away from him. “It just feels different now,” I said.“You will need training; if you want to get into shape with your abilities,” he said as he raised his head to look at me.“I have trained with almost everyone in this place,” I whined, feeling my body sore from trying to transform and actually transforming.He chuckled as he hande
