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
“Yes i think Vlad has a point, besides, what’s the worst that could happen?” Eugenia asked as if she didn’t know of how precarious a turn the situation could take. “I’d beg to differ but I’d rather your hearts be at ease especially with this idea that Audrey brought up.” Vlad replied her as he waved them off to see to what the fuss Herman would ask for. Audrey began to quiver as he made to test a plan that she came up with. “Shouldn’t I be the one there?” She still tried to offer that she goes instead. Hercules pulled her back as Eugenia talked her out of it. “I know you want to save the warlock community, Audrey. We all need to stand together if we hope to still use this opportunity to free the Air pack from Octavia and Bradley.” Hercules Said, as he came to Audrey’s view and tried to reassure her. She sniffled and wiped the tear that had been building up by the side of her face. “I guess you’re right Hercules.” She relented. She then took his arms that rested atop her sho
Martin and May trekked the full length of the passage, conversing at several junctures, teasing each other, falling into dangerous traps and fighting hidden beast, after which they ended with a soothing two to three rounds. “Huh!” May let out a sigh. “That was wonderful!” She exclaimed. “I feel we could still go for more, what you say?” Martin asked, surprisingly as his panting was not as heavy as hers. She took the lead so it was no wonder that such was the case. They turned their gazes and looked into each other’s eyes. “Nah!” She exclaimed in unison. They then stood up and dressed in order to continue their journey through, of which they did. “What’s that?!” May exclaimed as a leading light stood at the end of the passage. “It’s a light?” Martin said, with his excitement until after he rethought about it. “It’s a light!” He exclaimed, as he even proceeded before her to begin a race. “Yeah!” May replied as she follows behind him. Their strides pushed them unto a somewhat a
