Melinda swiftly ran towards me, she bent down to examine my pups, running her hands through their chest to feel their pulse, checking if they were still alive. “They are not dead.” She squealed.“What??” I yelped. “They are not dead??" I said in a curious tone."Then why are they covered in blood?” I questioned. I bent down instantly, and I grabbed the pups, looking to confirm Melinda's assertion.“Only one of them is dead. The others survived. He only managed to kill one, and I guess the blood splashed onto the others.” Melinda added. I heaved a gloomy sigh, and I just looked up to the moon, swaddling the two living pups, in my arms.At least, in spite of all the tribulations and hardships that I've had to go through, there have always been bountiful reasons to be thankful; the fact that I didn't lose all my pups in one night was a solid reason to be thankful.Melinda sat down, and from the expression on her face, I could sense that she was lost in thought... in fact, we were both
Melinda cut the sprig of the mistletoe into four shorter bits, and she gave me one bit. She tucked two bits into my pup's hands, and she held the last one in her hand."Right now, I need you to focus your mind on being invisible. We want to be invisible, right?" Melinda quipped."Yeah. Ain't that your plan all along??" I retorted."Yeah, I know… but to achieve that, you must first believe that you are already invisible. So, as you hold the mistletoe in your hand, you have to believe that you are already invisible." Melinda stated. "Okay. That is not a problem." I drew in a deep breath, and I breathed out."...also, on your pups' behalf, you have to believe that they are also invisible. Okayyy?""Okay. I get it." Melinda, the pups, and I held the mistletoe in our right hands, and I focused my mind on the desired outcome: becoming invisible for not only myself, but also for my pups. Melinda then sprinkled a pinch of the shiny whitish stone powder over everyone's mistletoe, allowing i
Malik's POVI stood amidst the carnage of my once great pack. The bodies of my fellow wolves littered the ground, and their blood stained the earth beneath me. I burned with intractable anger, as I took in the destruction around me, with the scent of death heavy in the air. I felt the weight of my pack members' absence, heavy on my shoulders, and the intense feeling of this groundbreaking loss seemed to be weighing my body, soul, and spirit down into an endless pit of grief. The blood of my fallen pack warriors still stains the earth, and the stench of death hangs in the air. I cannot even begin to process the horror of what just happened. My heart is heavy with grief, and my soul is consumed with a burning rage that threatens to tear me up.I was losing it, and I wasn't myself anymore. I fell to the ground, and I kept hitting my fists against the rigid earth repeatedly, till my hands got scarred. But I didn't stop, I was undeterred. I wanted to let out my angst one way or the other.
****Author's POV****King Zora Leondros, walked towards the large wooden table in the center of the room. He stood tall, proud, confident and regal, with his golden mane shining in the light of the torches.Alpha Menelik, the Alpha of Lakewood pack, also made his entrance into the room. Months ago, his father, Alpha Barak Maximoff kicked the bucket, and Menelik succeeded his father as the Alpha.Alpha Menelik decided to toll a path different from his father's. He decided against going all-out to wage war and hunt the werelions, instead he set a pact, and made peace with them, and they became his trusted ally.King Zora Leondros took a seat at the head of the table, and Alpha Menelik took the seat opposite him. The room was silent as they both looked each other in the eye, sizing each other up, with their eyes locked in a stare of determination. As they took their seats at the large wooden table in the center of the room, the air was thick with tension, and Zora, the werelion was the f
Zora's expression softened, and he held up a paw in a gesture of peace. "Please, Menelik. Don't leave. We need your help."Zora was ready to put his ego aside, to request Menelik's assistance. "Look I'm sorry, Menelik. You can not imagine how I'm sorry man, I'm showing you. I never intended to use any silver shit on you, but you forced my hands…" he pleaded.But Menelik remained defiant, he turned a deaf ear, and he kept walking out of Zora's meeting room.Zora shouted, from the other side of the room, "Ok, you'll get the thing tonight…"Menelik turned back at the instant. "What??? Seriously??""Yeah, I'm serious, you will get it if you are ready to continue with our partnership.""C-can we just get back to the table, now…""On one condition, I get it seven times, at any time of my choosing.""Okay, okay… whatever. Can we just get back to the table now?" Zora nodded in agreement, relieved that Menelik had agreed to help him in his time of need. Menelik gestured to his warriors with h
I ran my hands through their bodies, and I found out that they were feeling itchy because they had peed and pooped on their pants, and that was probably why they were crying... It was not too smelly, so I didn't quickly notice.Wow, it's a shame that pups can't speak articulately, because if they can, mothers will be able to quickly diagnose what's wrong with their pups, but because they are still infants, the only way they can communicate their discomforts is to cry, even at the slightest itch.I looked for a way to have them cleaned up, and they soon stopped crying."Are you ready, now?" Melinda quipped."Yeah, I am," I responded.I tucked my pups into my Kangaroo jackets, and I was set for the journey.As the morning sun began to rise higher in the sky, Melinda and I set out, in search of a safe place to stay at least for the time being. We threaded softly on the forest floor, and I kept my senses on high alert for any signs of danger. As we walked deep into the woods, I stole a gl
"Wow, so is this the waterfall?" I smiled, gazing directly at Melinda."Nah, it's a volcano…" Melinda scoffed, gazing at me with her brows furrowed. "... Can't you see the bustling water…""Oh, sorry, I was just carried away…" I beamed, jerking back to reality. I saw the waterfall in all its glory, with mist rising up from the base and rainbows dancing in the spray, and I was carried away.For a second I honestly thought there was another waterfall somewhere around here.'You see… you're the one that has been somewhat craggy lately.' Lusee interjected. I just scoffed at her remark, and I wouldn't even reply to her this time.Melinda passed the pups to me, and she completely pulled off the clothes that served as a covering over her skin.She stripped to her bare butts, and she was now stark naked. I could see her in all her glory, and my mouth involuntarily made an 'O' shape, but I closed it before Melinda could see the awe-mazement on my face. She had a well-defined butt, and her bi
The night was dark and the air was thick with the scent of smoke and death. The moon was casting a pale light over the clearing where Melinda and I sat, just outside the cave. We had built a fire in the center of the clearing to keep ourselves warm.Melinda and I sat by the fire, with the glow illuminating our faces. The forest was quiet, and the only sounds I was hearing were the crackling of the fire and the occasional hoot of an owl in the distance.I huddled close to the fire, and the pain of losing Santan, my pup, and even the whole of the Mountain Dew pack to that sinister attack, was gnawing at my heart, making me ache with sadness. Damn, we didn't even make efforts to bury them, laying them on their bare backs in a sacred forest as they do at the Lakewood pack.It had only been a few hours since I held my little one in my arms, and now I would never get the chance to do so again.Melinda's eyes were dark and full of pain as she stared into the flames. I still couldn't wrap my
