2022-04-15 07:02:42The rain whipped down like crystal nails, and veined lightning decorated the sky as the pick-up truck speeded down the shiny road through the tar-black valley.
The car window danced with spray, and the humming of the fast windscreen wiper's clear, regular lilting pattern didn't have its usual soothing effect.
An ominous orange glow lit up the sky behind the ragged forest line as they got closer to town.
Nueva clenched her fists until her nails dug into the skin of her palms. Not knowing what to expect filled her with terror, pain, and grief. Yet, it also brought a profound sense of purpose.Alpha Gray turned the corner down the main street, and he immediately slammed on the brakes. They both gasped at the devastating scene unfolding in front of them.
Countless bodies of both civilians and soldiers lay dead on the street, their blood pooling and flooding down the road in the pelting rain.
Most of the shops and cafes were on fire. Roaring flames

In one swift move, they jumped into wolf form, ripping Nueva's wet clothes in half like a second skin.The rain was teeming down in a biblical deluge, flooding the street, drowning the ice, and overflowing the drains.Eira's paws thundered over the water-filled and ice-glazed asphalt. Her sharp claws effortlessly gripped the slippery surface.The older man used his crooked time-worn body to shelter his wife from the mauling Rogue's deadly claws and fangs. Nueva could hear the wife's desperate screams as the woman realized her husband wouldn't make it without help.Eira gave no warning as she launched herself at the feral animals with eyes wide glowing blue, tail tucked in, and her ears flat. Eira's sharp claws sunk through fur and flesh like melted butter.Nueva shivered at the puncturing sensation and the stickiness of the blood but let Eira finish them off however she pleased. She would never get used to killing, even at the crucial moments.

There were mud prints from boots and paws across the timber floors leading towards the staircase.The house was quiet and smelt musky and foreign. The feeling that their home that represented a safe place, protecting her and her loved ones from external threats and dangers being invaded by strangers, created a weight in Nueva's chest that nowhere was safe.Nueva stopped and focused. She inhaled deeply and let her senses tell the story and fill in the missing pieces. Her nostrils flooded with the scents from Mira, Marigold, and the Rogue Alpha, their invisible chemical compounds and pheromones painted images in her mind.Marigold's scent surprised her since Nueva knew she hadn't been to the farmhouse while living there.There were other vaguely familiar scents of people she would have met in the passing by. This confused her. Who were these people? They weren't Rogues but ordinary werewolf strangers that would have been close enough around Nueva for her to r

After Evie and the twins had safely been brought to Evie's parent's house by Declan and a group of Moonfall soldiers. Nueva could finally relax enough to start planning on how to rescue Mira and her mum. She and Alpha Gray had gone to Perla's house for advice. If anyone could help them, it was this wise sage woman. Perla's cottage smelled of freshly brewed coffee and homemade apple and cinnamon pie. Nueva looked at Alpha Gray's face as they walked through the small house towards the kitchen. She could see how his features relaxed and turned into a boyish grin as the fragrances of his childhood enveloped him. Perla waited at the kitchen table, sipping on her coffee as they entered the warm and cosy room. "Come, sit down." Perla smiled and waved them over. She started to cut large pieces of the steaming hot apple pie and placed them on the plates in front of them. She added a big blob of fluffy ivory-white whipped cream on top. The scent

The Rogue army was waiting for them as they got to the forest boundary. The feral wolves lined up in a perfect row underneath the dense untouched woodland. The ancient giants swayed unbothered in the gales that sang through the ragged treetops above.Nueva could feel the crisp wind against her skin, ruffling through her long locks, carrying with it the aromas of the landscape.Its coldness roused her senses to wakefulness and alertness as they walked from the brighter light of the barren fields into the dim glow amongst the towering tree trunks.Eira stirred in her head, lashing her insides in an agitated manner. Nueva knew Eira was more than ready to shift out and sink her deadly fangs into these feral animals.The Rogues lined each side of the narrow path toward the wall of fog with their muzzles curled up, baring teeth and snapping the air.Alpha Gray kept Nueva close by his side with a protective arm around her waist. He stared dangerously at t

Several ageless giants lay defeated on the ground, cut down by the Rogue army's hands. Above the humble trees, wind-sung tunes had changed to squalls of weeping sorrow over their fallen fellows.The feral animal created a fence with their furred bodies around the squared arena, making it impossible to escape. Nueva stood alone on the ground. Her heart raced, and her ears rang from the deafening roars from the surrounding masses. She wondered if this was how it would have felt to be a gladiator standing in the colosseum in ancient Rome.The wind was crisp but smelt foul; Nueva shivered from both. She was wearing a thin white long-sleeved jumper and loose boyfriend jeans. The forest floor pine-needle-covered carpet crunched under her yellow timberland boots as she paced on the spot.Nueva's white hair hung heavy on her back, braided in a similar but less complex style to what the Fay woman had done. This hairdo made her feel bad-ass and battle-prepared.Mar

"Say the words." The Alpha screamed in a growing rage and pushed Nueva's face against the cold misty layers.A bloodthirsty roar sounded from within, frightening enough to terrify the man as Nueva could feel his body stiffen.A breeze winnowed through the clearing, rustling the leaves in the fiery red sugar maples. And there it was again, that familiar scent disguised just enough for her not to figure out who or where it came from. The Alpha snapped his fingers, and two of the shifted soldiers disappeared for a moment before returning, dragging Mira and her mum by their scruffs. They had been gagged, and their arms were tied firmly to their backs."Do as you are told, or they die." He growled threateningly.The soldier's claws extruded from their large hands, holding them over the women's throats. Their muffled whimpers and cries broke her heart.Nueva looked into their wide, terrified eyes, and in despair, she mouthed the words, "I a

Alpha Gray povAlpha Gray woke up face down in the dirt. Pine needles stung his drool-covered skin, and his body ached from being tied up with his arms on his back. His head pulsated, and he still felt weak from the remains of the poison.He could hear the Alpha Rogue growl in the distance, and through blurred vision, he could see the man drag Nueva into the wall of fog. The Rogue army followed, leaving the wood quiet and dark with only the disturbed forest inhabitants complaining.Alpha Gray inhaled slowly to reduce his heart rate and adrenaline flow. He needed to feel calm to use his senses better to observe the surroundings and determine how many soldiers were keeping guard.When Alpha Gray felt it was safe, he pushed his knees under his stomach and wiggled himself up against a tree trunk until he stood. Next, he brought his hands closer to the forest floor and untangled his unsteady legs over them. Then, with his hands at the front, he could move towards the first unsuspecting gua

Alpha Gray pov Alpha Gray sighed and held the tiny emerald-adorned ring against the foggy wall. A light ripple flickered amongst the damp grey layers. His breath hitched in anticipation, but nothing happened, and the wall darkened."Got dammit! Just open you, dumb door." Alpha Gray growled. He then tried random words that he thought suited to open an ancient realm. But the wall stayed closed and impossible to enter.He roared and hit his fist against the wet wall with all his might. The layers vibrated, releasing a stale musky scent of algae and fish gut. "Open sesame." He spat sarcastically and, in frustration, threw his head back and arms in the air.The fog suddenly parted in a thin split just wide enough for him to squeeze through. Alpha Gray twitched at the sudden movement but couldn't help but chuckle at how ridiculous it seemed that it would open to that particular phrase.Marigold came running up behind Alpha Gray before he could enter the passage. She called out desperately

Nueva pov. Alpha Gray's face stayed on her retina as bright and clear as if he was there with her. His tender smile comforted and followed her on the first stretch of the journey into the unknown. But then, as the darkness became more dense and sunken, his calm, reassuring countenance disappeared into the void. "Don't go. Stay with me!" She called out and chased after his fading image. Nueva soon realised she was not only lost but utterly alone in this strange dark place. She was dressed in a sheer bright white fairytale gown, and her pale locks draped perfectly down her back. Nueva's creamy complexion formed an aurora glowing light blue in the heavy blackness. She didn't feel scared despite being alone in this alien world. Neither was she cold nor hungry, sad nor happy. She just existed. "Is this how it feels to die?" Nueva thought to herself as she strolled tirelessly forward. "I had pictured a very different place. Definitely more light and welcoming. Maybe this is a half

Perla was waiting for them at the front door. She limped down the steps as the pick-up came to a screeching halt.Alpha Gray jumped out, carrying Nueva in his arms."I have been waiting for you. I knew something had happened when I saw the light beam." Perla called out in a raspy voice.Nueva's hand fell down and hung lifeless by her side as Alpha Gray ran past his grandma.Perla gasped, and her age-worn hands cupped her thin, cracked lips. She hurried after her grandson."Put her down on the couch", she instructed in uneven breaths. Marigold came running from the pick-up, and Perla waved her past her inside the door.Alpha Gray gently placed Nueva on the old couch next to the crackling fireplace. The small living room was warm and smelt like wood smoke and chocolate cookies.The light was dim and yellow, lit up by a tall foot lamp standing in one corner behind the rocking chair and a few pillar candles burning above the fireplace, giving the place a cosy feel. "What happened? Did s

Alpha Gray lay still in the shallow water.His face was resting on Nueva's chest. Her breathing was slow, and she rocked his head in an irregular movement.He was confused over the event that had just transpired, and it took him a moment to collect his thoughts.The winter sun touched their faces and left warm rosy trails on their skin from its butter yellow kisses. Alpha Gray sighed at the sunshine's comforting caress.Everything felt more intense, the sunlight's bright rays burning his eyes and brushing over his skin. It was like he could see and feel things more apparent, and his senses seemed to be buzzing with a new form of energy that he couldn't explain.Then, suddenly Alpha Gray remembered where he was and what had just happened.He scrambled onto his knees, and his eyes darted around the clearing for any imminent danger.Marigold stood to their side, bowed head and hiding her eyes, but Alpha Gray could see light streaks of salty tears on her cheeks."Marigold, You are alive?

Alpha Gray found Nueva lying motionless in a large shallow water puddle on the thawed ground.She was on her side with her back facing him. Her pink naked body stood somewhat out against the colourless backdrop.Alpha Gray's heart hammered in his chest, and a sudden stab of fear crossed his grave face.He ran towards her and sunk hard onto his knees in the freezing silverly coloured water.She opened her swollen eyes, and he could see that she had been crying. Her plump lips turned into a tender smile when she saw his face. But before Alpha Gray could speak, a tall, dark shadow fell over them.The attack was swift and sudden.The blade sliced into his back towards his heart. His chest ripped, and his ribs broke in a sickening crunch.Alpha Gray wobbled and fell onto Nueva; his dark blood stained her naked body. Nueva screamed in shock. His warm damp, and heavy body pushed the air out of her twisting her chest small."Leave him alone." Nueva cried out. Her voice was weak and airless.

Thawing Thiago's heart had erased the cursed demon in him, turning back the time to before he became cruel and ruthless in his pursuit of power. So, instead, in front of Eira stood a young and spirited strawberry roan wolf. Thiago stared at her, and his impressive wolf form seemed to grow with every breath after hearing Eira's word, turning his stance confident and proud. "Mate," Thiago said in return, and his hackles glowed in gold when speaking this loaded word."What has just happened?" Nueva stuttered, confused."He's my mate," Eira answered, equally bewildered."But, how?" Nueva started, then it hit her, and the unanswered pieces fell into place. "I know what needs to be done," she continued in a vacant voice. "What do you mean?" This time it was Eira who was clueless. "Sometimes, the best thing to do is not overthink. Instead, just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best," Nueva whispered in a bittersweet tone. "I don't understand what you are tryi

Eira's coat glistened from sweat in the low light of the wintery sun. Her breath was laboured, and her pink tongue flapped in the wind.They had been galloping over the crusty frost-covered fields forever.Both of them were desperate for a moment of rest. But the demon had sealed the fog and the only way out.So instead, Nueva and her bestial wolf were trapped and locked away from their earthly world, running tirelessly to escape the imposing peril.Eira cut over the fields into the quiet woodland, darting between the weighty branches bowing down to the white land.The fresh, clean air was loaded with the unmistakable scent of snow. Dirty clouds floated over the sky with the promise of an impending refill of crystal stars.Suddenly the faint whispers returned. "Make fire with ice." The woman's voice sang beautifully with the winnowing breeze. "I don't understand?" Nueva groused, confused. But the voice only repeated the exact words."Eira, do you hear a woman's voice? Nueva asked her

Nueva cried out as she saw Marigold's stunned face, paralyzed in shock, falling through the ice sheet.Her brown locks and arms blended in slow motion as they flung into the air when the frozen floor gave way under her feet.The beast tumbled and fell sideways into the roughly wedge-shaped cleft. Marigold's small frame disappeared under the massive creature's flaming fur, and her horrifying screams echoed before fading away as she slipped into the unknown. Alpha Gray came running to Nueva, where she lay on the thin ice above the bottomless pit. He placed himself on his stomach and carefully leaned out over the gaping hole; a gust of wind from within ruffled his dark hair as he reached his hands out."Take my hand." Alpha Gray called out. A spasm of worry crossed his face.Nueva held her breath, and the tip of her fingers grasped his hand inch by inch.The sheer layer of ice moaned and groaned unhappily under her weight. She gasped as a hairline crack snaked under her stiff form, spre

The storm howled and roared for hours, concealing the landscape in dull greys. The men had taken turns digging the way out of the snow moulds covering the exit of their Safehaven after the winds finally died down. Back outside, the tranquil winter landscape unveiled a serene weather change that lulled them into a false sense of security. Bright-white hills glisten over the fields basking in creamy yellow sunlight. The temperature was crisp but comfortable. Nueva found a tiny silvery-blue babbling brook between winter trees shivering in the bitter wind. Their naked branches were adorned with snow. Clusters of twigs, gnarled and twisted, extended like the very hands of older gentlemen against the pristine cloudless sky. The group quenched their thirst and drank greedily from the crystal clear mountain spring before continuing the search for the fog. Light purple shadows rested under the heavy fir trees as Nueva trudged next to Alpha Gray at the front in the deep dunes. Eira had f

A distant but penetrating feral roar exploded from the beast's secure holding place outside the campgrounds.The demon rose from within like a blast of bestial raging red amongst the large pieces of tarp flapping freely before taking off with the blustering winds.A man could be seen running from the ripped tent."Gray." Nueva gasped and pulled at the thick ropes. He hadn't spotted her yet.Ryan and Harlow stopped abruptly in their steps, and the colour drained from their faces."Do something!" Ryan yelled at his men as perspiration beaded his furrowed brows.The Rogue soldiers separated and surrounded the monstrous canine, agitatedly stalking closer to the camp."I am the frost demon, and this is my territory." The beast roared in a thunderous bloodthirsty howl before shifting into a blazing inferno when the fire erupted from his fur, eyes, and mouth.Black as coal smoke billowed from his muscular frame. The demon's distinctly almond-shaped eyes burned with green fire, lusting to con
