ConanWe set up camp and waited to be attacked by the rogues. Fires were built inside the tents and those who had been in the icy water were inside taking in the heat.I on the other hand stayed with Jade in a different tent as she watched the fire burn.She had woken from the explosion with a mild headache and I was glad that was all. Her healing factor had kicked in already which had saved her from succumbing to her injuries.“You seem worried,” she smiled.“That’s because we are stuck in the middle of nowhere and I have seen so many of our people die,” I responded. “I watched a man get trapped within the ice. Before I could break the ice, there was an explosion and it killed him instantly.”“What are you going to do when you find the rogues?”“Rip out their throats and toss them to the polar bears in this region.”“Or we could give them a benefit of the doubt and…”“I am not a peacemaker. I never was and I will never be one. If you had died I would have lost it. They shot an explos
Conan“I suggest we go round the back,” I said pointing to the sloppy side of the ice. “We would use our speed to run…”“Sorry to cut you off,” V interrupted. “But we are dust wolves. This is ice. We can’t run at full speed without slipping. They would use this to their advantage.”“Do you have a better idea?”“We should stop running and walk to the mountain. We would save our speed and strength and catch their weapons which we can see in slow motion. That was what I did and I saved my people. Not all of them but I saved the ones I could save.”I nodded. He was right, even though I did not agree with his opinion. This would make us very easy targets. We could be picked off like chickens. Their snipers could use guns with faster bullets against us.“You seem to disagree,” he noted.“I’m not a fan of getting shot,” I said. “We do have wolfsbane bombs which we can use on them.”“I doubt they know what that is. This is ice, and they have been here for years. I’m sure their bodies have cr
Conan“Kill them all,” I said to the other wolves.We zipped into the wolves, killing them without holding back. Some we threw over the mountain to face the wrath of the soldiers who ripped them to shreds with bullets.It smelled like gunpowder while we fought. The floor was riddled with bullets of different sizes and shapes.Ten minutes passed by and we were still fighting the rogues.More and more rogues were climbing the mountain to help their fellow wolves.Their numbers increased with their strength. “Don’t give up!” I yelled, bashing the skull of a rogue open before using his body as a weapon against some of the other enemies.The rage I felt was nothing like I had ever felt before.I was prepared to destroy this entire civilization. They had shot against my people with explosives without asking us for reasons why we were in their space.This was war. While we fought, I no
JadeI watched the man get out from his prison under the fallen ice and mountain rubble.His body had wounds all over them but his healing factor soon kicked in. He walked to us with his white hair stained with blood and the scar on his cheek not healing. That was a permanent scar which I guessed had been caused by wolfsbane.“Are you being serious right now?” I asked, struggling under the strength of the big bearded man. “Conan is still up there with that huge wolf and you guys can’t do anything. He’s going to die.”“He knows what he signed up for,” sighed the white haired man. “We’ve tried to get past those wolves up there but it’s almost like they don’t get tired of replicating in numbers. There are so many of them.”I looked around to see he was right. I could count at least a thousand of these creatures that were dead. Looking up the side of the mountains, I saw many of them climbing back up to join their pack.“I’m going to
ConanStaring into the mountains that the main pack was situated in gave me the creeps. It was stretching for miles on end with no protection from the cold or the blizzards.It was a desert. Going with the entire pack in this kind of place was scary to say the least. I took in deep breaths as I was ready to handle this but my body was too weak to do so.I had almost died back there. Using my powers to free myself had weakened me. All that rage and anger had dissipated into the wind after seeing her, but on a normal day I would have used it to smash into the crowd, killing everyone in my way.If we were going to be in that pack before the next blizzard arrived, I would like us to start it on time. That meant that I would not get to rest and recharge but we would start heading into the pack to get back the lost scientists.“What are you thinking about?” Jade asked, interrupting my train of thought.“I don’t know,” I sigh
BradI paced across the room with a drink in hand thinking of the past. Somehow I had been seen as a villain by my own wife and even my beta and my subject.If not, then why was everyone running away from me?Trina had gone on that stupid retreat with her friends. She had lost her baby. She made it seem like she was the only one who lost the baby, what about me? I was the baby’s father.I was in pain too. I needed some love and care but here I was alone and handling official affairs.I wanted Jade to stay with me so we could reflect on the past and maybe have her to myself before Conan decided to drop it.Taking a drink and laughing at the thought of them getting mated made me want to puke.Having him as a mate was a waste of time. I was the good looking one here. Women craved me. Why would she go for him instead of coming to me?A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts as I saw my adviser enter with his long
Conan“I do not, but she is a doctor,” I clarified. “We will need her there. What if we have our chests blown out or something and we need someone to help us. Are we going to WhatsApp her?”They stared at me with raised brows as I tried to imitate what she had told me in the tent during the night.“Whatever,” I said. “The point is, we can have both strength and health in the team. We don’t need to sacrifice one for the other.”They all shrugged but agreed to what I had said.We headed for the tundra with our chosen people. I got two people to go with me after hearing them grumble about how Jade was not strong enough to be in battle. This made us seven in number going to rescue the scientists.The journey was an eventful one as we had to ward off dangerous beasts following us through the mountains and even hear the mountain howl over and over again.Heimdal, to keep us busy, told us of how he had married a human woma
ConanThis gave me the notion that these guys were more than just rogues. They had gates, few guards guarding the gates and they also had a civilized society with men who looked like elders accompanied by actual working guards.This was not the way rogues operated. Rogues would operate in a brutal manner.They fought now and never asked questions.The elder who had spoken to us looked like he was trying to avoid anything which had to do with war. He spoke in a calm manner and tried to be polite.That was not the way rogues acted. They would try to tear through their opponents and make sure they showed dominance.“Let’s retreat for now,” I suggested as they all looked at me.“Are you crazy?!” yelled V. “Don’t tell me you buy into this bullshit. We need to break down that door and get our people.”“I’m sorry to say this but he is right,” Jade noted. “We can’t leave them in there. We have a mission to complete
