May and Martin kept walking for hours under the hot sun, with May determined to keep going despite feeling weak on her knees. Martin noticed her struggles and suggested they rest for a while, but May refused, not wanting to seem weak. "I'm fine, let's keep going," she insisted. However, as she wobbled and stumbled, Martin grew tired of her stubbornness and lifted her up to a nearby tree, saying, "No, you need to take a break. You're pushing yourself too hard." May reluctantly shook her head. "May, you can't keep pushing yourself like this," Martin said, his voice filled with concern. "We've been walking for hours, and you're clearly struggling. Just take a break for a few minutes, and then we can continue." May hesitated, but the heat and fatigue were starting to take a toll on her. She finally gave in and allowed Martin to lift her to a nearby tree. She gratefully took off her sandals, feeling the coolness of the tree's shade on her bare feet. "Thanks," May said softly, looking up
The sun was beating down on them mercilessly, scorching their skin and making them feel as though they were walking through an oven. Sweat poured down their faces, soaking their shirts and dampening their hair. The constant glare of the sun made their eyes ache, and they were forced to squint against the blinding light. Their backs were hunched from hours of walking, and their legs felt as though they were made of lead. Every step felt like a herculean effort, and their feet throbbed from the relentless pounding on the hard ground. Audrey's legs were trembling, and she could feel her knees giving out from under her. Their throats were parched, and they longed for a sip of cool water. But their water supply was running low, and they didn't know when they would come across another source. Their stomachs grumbled, reminding them that they had been walking for hours without any food. All these factors combined to make them feel utterly drained and exhausted. The fatigue they were experi
They walked a distance and the noise grew louder the more they approached a gate. The man opened the gate, it opened into a very large clearing. It looked like a large arena. The air was thick with dust and filled with chants. The man led them through a short staircase till they came before a throne. The man sitting on the throne wasn't the old man Martin had guessed. It was a younger looking man. "You must be Martin." He asked. Martin nodded, "Yes Alpha. This is the beta female, May." He introduced "You are welcome." The man said not bothering to offer a smile. "We are sorry to bother you, but I have a matter of great importance." "Your matter would have to wait. I have a beta choosing ceremony to enjoy we will talk about that later." He turned around and faced the arena. Martin watched as he raised his hands indicating the ceremony to start. The crowd went up in an uproar. May noticed the view was better from up here, she walked closer to the barricade and peered as a large
They both had came a long way, the unforgiving sun providing a mirage at each bend that they would wrath in the possibility of. “How do we even find our way to the Warlock community”. May, even though coveted by the shade casted by Martin’s shadow, could still be engulfed by the seeking heat. “I don’t even know, I didn’t think this through.” “Perhaps we can ask around in any of the nearest village we see.” May was subtle in giving an actually alright suggestion. “That one there looks like it would know where it is, maybe we should stop by and inquire from the local.” Martin suggested. “But we know the warlock community is under seize, is it really wise to heave it’s name in our mouths?” May could tell of the gravity of a warring people, from experience. The manner in which the two packs they had visited involved with their cases so quickly could be attributed to the state of their pack, at least that’s what she thought deep down. With somber steps and a raise palm to block th
“What are you talking about, what are you doing to me?” Martin asked as he failed to comprehend the squabbling of rats prancing atop his abdomen. “Guess what surface seems like the most plausible to escape the heat right now, you.” He added. The rats continued their scurrying but their concentration had become focused atop his bare abdomen. “They’ll eat their way through me to escape the heat?” Martin asked. “Right on the money.” The werewolf affirmed. The situation was tense and the heat was seering, the rats were getting desperate and one had just found the start of a way out, through Martin’s navel. *** “Let go of me, take me back this instant.” She demanded to be returned but the werewolf that yanked her only pulled in the direction of the colosseum the more. “Your mate will be alright, think of yourself because I can’t possibly say the same about you.” The werewolf that dragged onto the undisclosed direction said. May couldn’t say it as many times as his ears could
“I don’t understand?” She said, as she tried to pry into the reason for his abrupt agreement. “But sire, we can’t just help her when she knows about the warlocks and Valentine.” The werewolf said. “Woah!” A chorus from the crowd cheered and intercepted his reveal. The Alpha’s expression now stiffened as he broke the cup in his hand, causing blood to rush. A smile now etched its way as his eye signals to he guards mounted at the door cause them to knock and invite the rest into the viewing area. “You are a fool, I’ll have you know that.” The Alpha said as he snapped his finger and used his hand to caress his forehead. “Thud!” A large sound led an echo throughout the room that ceased the array of moaning that served in the rhythm of background noises. Now everyone stood silent, except for the drugged werewolf that still managed to continue her enveloping the Alpha length into her mouth. They all stared at the aligned werewolves that formed a straight path from the corner to
The assassins had been coming towards the werewolf and May, all she could do was hide with far-fetched delusion that it would be enough to delay the inevitable end. All the Alpha did was boast with a maniacal grin etched unto his face. “What’s that?!” The crowd’s background cheer had erupted to a uniform gasp coming from every bend as they seemed to have seen to something that baffled each and every one of them. “What’s going on?” Judging by the Alpha’s reaction, he too didn’t understand what made their expression into the way it was. “Why have my gladiators stopped fighting?” The Alpha asked. Even at the lingering death only a few slaughters away, the werewolf that managed to drag May to the colosseum was ever willing to still go and check what had caused the ruckus, per his Alpha’s request. “Sir, there’s a rogue defeating all the gladiators.” He said. The sounds of naked people dying had now become the background noise as the Alpha himself, and the werewolf he sent now arche
The Alpha was pinned against the fact that May’s aim was true to him. “I’m going to die!” He concluded. “May, should we really be doing this? I mean, look at the scene we caused.” Martin said as he had turned into his wolf again, trying to change May’s mind. “It’s alright Martin, I’ve already set everything that would make his mind not to waver.” She replied his concern. “Sir, the warlocks. A rumor is going about that their gathering to march on us.” The Alpha turned to the werewolf of earlier who had brought May in. It seemed like May had used the singular fact of the women’s stairs of earlier and her assailant’s naivety to sway what he stood to tell the Alpha. “What are you saying?” The Alpha asked. He couldn’t believe his ears, especially after it became exactly as May had foretold. He came back to the balcony. “I’ll do it!” He shouted. “Wait, what!” Martin exclaimed in surprise. “I told you.” May said, as she released the bow. It shot at the Alpha but with just en
