Chapter 3 - A Glimpse of Her Power

Georgia glances at the map on her phone from time to time, after taking the forest for shortcuts, confirming she had ended up at the main road correctly. She passed by some inns and a local pub and smelled beer from the inside, the yellow light above at its entrance flickered twice before another ruckus was heard from the patrons. She pulled her hoodie closer to her face and looked down, walking briskly, determined to be out of sight from anyone she may encounter on the road. 

It was already past midnight and no cars were available to hail at this hour. She was not familiar with the town she was in and all she knew was to follow the map that would lead her back to her village. Safely. 

But for a young lady to be out in the streets, alone, it is dangerous. A few meters away, cigarette smoke floated in the air and the bright red light at its end was the only color against the darkness of the woods behind a man; or men, as Georgia confirmed. As she was closing the distance, the two figures moved, she was supposed to ignore them hoping that they would leave her alone, but they did not.

“What do we have here?” a voice spoke as he emerged in the darkness. Georgia kept her head down, gripping the hood to her neck tighter.

“It is dangerous for a lady to be walking alone at night, let us take you home.” his companion spoke, flicking the ash of his cigarette before taking another hit and blowing it to her face which she did not want to reveal.

“Leave me alone, I am just passing by,” Georgia spoke.

“You might need a company to wherever you are going,” he replied.

“No.” Georgia walked away, but the two men followed her steps, looking at each other, having a silent agreement on what to do with the lady.

“Come on, we can take you home, or you might wanna spend on ours and go home tomorrow instead. You see, it is past midnight already.” 

Georgia took a step to the side but was blocked by the man with the cigarette.

“Now, now, don’t be difficult,” he uttered, patience was crumbling away.

“We can go have a good time,” the other man added and he ducked down to look at her face and smiled evilly. “Such a pretty one we have here,” he commented.

With the cigarette in between his index and middle finger, he tried to tilt her chin to confirm the other man’s comment, but Georgia looked away. Now she was sure that these two men were not werewolves because they were not surprised at her silver eyes when the other man had ducked to see her face. They must be pure-blooded humans who had no knowledge of werewolves’ existence, and the power the silver eyes hold.

They held her arm and dragged her into the woods. “Let me go,” Georgia protested. Knowing that these men were humans, she was confident that they would not stand against her what she was only nervous about was if a fellow werewolf would see her and what she would do to them.

She stopped fighting and allowed them to take her into the woods, to its darkest part as she activated her night vision to have a clearer view of the place and ensure that no werewolves were near. The men chuckled, thinking the young lady was an easy target. They rejoiced in anticipation for a sweet night, but little did they know, the lady whom they thought was a weak deer, was actually thinking murder in her mind. But no, she would not go to such length.

“Perhaps, a few broken bones would be enough,” she muttered to herself, not caring whether they heard it right or not.

“You said something, darling?” the man asked, throwing his cigarette on the ground, hitting a huge tree root that had surfaced soil.

Georgia tried hard to twist her wrist and pull her arm away from their grip, but they were too strong for her physical strength. She took a deep breath and summoned her wolf to help her, and she had successfully freed herself. The men were surprised at her strength and yet they lunged forward to grab her again before she could escape. She did not make a noise, not wanting any more attention toward her. 

“I am warning you, let me go,” she threatened but the men laughed. They were drunk and high on drugs.

An arm encircled her waist and the other man tried to lift her feet but she kicked his hands away, the man did not stop, but not until a rock hit his head. He stumbled backward. The other man looked around, searching for the attacker.

“Who’s there?!” he shouted, but no one responded. 

“Let me go, now!” her teeth clenched, her eyes shined in silver, focused on a huge boulder starting to float in the air, leaves rustled and several smaller rocks were lifted from the ground. The man behind her released her arms and stepped back, eyes wide in surprise.

“W-what are you?” he was lost for words, thinking he must be hallucinating from the drugs. The other man dizzily stood up straight, clutching the side of his head where the rock hit him earlier. He saw his friend staring behind him, eyes full of fear and confusion, so he turned around and stepped back while his friend now turned to run. 

“You f-ucking devil!” he yelled before he followed, scrambling on the way, falling on the ground and quickly getting on his feet once again before stumbling on another tree root. 

When they were out of her sight, she dropped the boulder and rocks on the ground, making a thud sound and creating a little shake on the ground. She felt weak on her knees from walking miles and from using her psychokinesis ability which uses her energy to manifest. 

The Royal Tryst resumed as it was planned and organized to please the important guests that had arrived at the event and the royal clan would not dwell in shame of what had happened. The rejection declared by Georgia Finnes was enough to disrespect and shame the royal clan. It was a heavy sin that could result in her hanging. Fortunately for the royals, the Alpha King Maxton had shared the sentiment of despising her rather than begging for her to accept him and their fated bond because if he did, it would position the West as a weak region being ruled by a begging King.

A knock came at the Alpha King’s home office, and he let him in. 

The general of the royal army stepped in courteously and asked, “Alpha, what sanction shall be imposed to punish the Woodbrick Pack; and the woman?”
