As I'm forced into a new, different, larger room, with very little light, I struggle to see my surroundings as my eyes take a few moments to adjust. As I am pushed down onto the ground, I hear a growl from the other side of the vast space, a growl I recognise, it's followed by a bark as the men still have a hold of my wrists, "Get your fucking hands off my mate!" He snaps as the man's hands are replaced with shackles, my hands hit the floor from the surprising weight of them. The cold of the metal sends cold shivers up my spine as goosebumps form on my arms, making my hairs stand on ends."Elias!" I call out, now just able to make out his shape in the shadowy darkness."Chilli!" His voice rings out, followed by a metallic sound, clanging together, he must be chained up like me. Soon that sound is lost as a cackling laughter fills the air. Pauline. Pauline struts forward, appearing from nowhere laughing, be both growl and snarl at her from our opposite sid
This is her plan, this is how she'll kill my baby still growing inside of me. If I shift whilst pregnant it will terminate the pregnancy. Cold sweat drips down my spine, I can't, even if I wanted to I can't, my body won't allow it, plus it's against our law and she knows that. Oh, now I get it, now I understand. Pauline's going to make me force my body to go against its natural instincts to not shift whilst in this condition. In me doing so, I'll kill my unborn baby and by the law of the moon and the packs we live in, Elias would have to reject me as his mate for it. Killing our own is one of the biggest sins, especially our cubs."But I can't," I exclaim, "it's not possible," I try to tell her."Find a way," she snaps as I look at Elias who shakes his head no at me. Seeing this in the corner of her eye, Pauline smacks him over the head with her hand, then coddles him,"It's okay my love, I'll fix and mend your heart after she's shattered it into tiny pieces, I
As my bones continue to break and snap, my wrists easily slip from the restraints, I have no idea what she plans to do to me or with me once I have completed the change. But to be honest, I don't give a shit right now. Right now I am consumed by my anger and hatred for this stupid woman. 'You've made a huge, colossal mistake by making me shift!' I think to myself as more fur appears, covering my skin, my ratty, tattered dress falls away as my four paws hit the cold ground. My claws scratch along the uneven stone ground, as I lock eyes with Pauline, my only desire is to sink my canines into her soft flesh. Planting my paws, I growl a threatening growl at the woman who has forced me to ruin my life. A heartstring pings through the bond, as my eye suddenly shift and look at Elias, his eyes full of devastation as he looks upon my wolf form. I feel the hurt and disappointment smack into me like a bulldozer knocking the air from my lungs. 'I'm sorry,' I whisper to him as he looks awa
Chilli POV My surroundings fall away as all my attention is on her! All I can think of is her, dead at my paws lying in a pool of blood. My body is numb, I am yet to feel the devastation of losing lil.... my ange... her. I know I can not let those thoughts and feelings in, not right now because if I did, I fear knowing deep down, it will break me, cripple me as I'd fall to pieces, so, for now, I close off all feelings and emotions regarding to ... it, and purely focus on killing the bitch cowering before me. With each step I get closer, the more I can smell her fear and panic as I ignore the nagging feeling in the back of my head that this could be a trap, that surely this evil woman would have some sort of plan, that this couldn't be it. But I don't care, I've lost everything, and my life is basically over, what do I have left to lose? I feel a screaming presence in my mind as if someone or thing is fighting for my attention, and the more I ignore it the louder it g
The last bit of colour drains from her face as she loses the last leg she has to stand on. As if at last knowing her 'poor me' act isn't going to cut it this time, her personality switches as she pushes her own face into mine, changing tactics. Feeling her face in my fur, I bare my teeth angrily, far from pleased with the physical contact."Who do I think I am! Who the hell do you think you are to talk to me like this?" She snarls back, "I am your elder! I am above you! You are nothing compared to me! After everything I have done for you, and this is how you treat me? You ungrateful fucking bitch!" She spits as a burning smell fills my nostrils when Pauline suddenly cries out in pain, leaping back and away from me, clutching at her face. "Arrrah, my face, my fucking face!" She howls in agony and I can't help but smirk at her pain. "Stupid, fucking red wolves! Should have put you down like your fucking mother!" "What?" I stumble, losing balance for a brief second at her
Now refocusing on the bitch beneath my paws, I snarl at her remembering her words moments ago."My mother," I snap, forcing a link with her in my anger and automatically connecting with Elias too. "Did you have anything to do with my mother's death? And what do you know about red wolves?" Pauline just snarls, trying to move beneath my weight. I push down harder on her, wanting to make her talk, to explain. "Tell me!" I bark, "what did you do? What do you know?"A cold shiver runs down my spine as her laugh rings out in my head coldly, I wasn't expecting that reaction. she bucks, throwing me off her back and to the side. As my side scrapes along the ground, I wince, cursing myself for losing my concentration, as I squeeze my eyes shut from the pain for a split second. I reopen them just in time to witness Pauline's mangy wolf pouncing, attacking Elias from behind. 'ELIAS!' I howl through the link, desperately trying to warn him as I lay on the ground helpless t
Chilli POV As she laughs triumphantly, distracting herself for a moment, I, feeling the pain and anger from her words and actions, plant my paws, centering myself, not wasting this opportunity to strike or enact my revenge. Before she knows what is happening, I push off from the ground and fly through the air at her, to land and connect with her side, riding her down to the ground with a hard thud as I lock my jaws around her neck. My sharp canines pierce her hairy skin as all she can do is howl out an all-mighty screech of pain, as her warm blood floods my mouth and trickles out the corners, staining my fur on its way down. I scream through the link into her mind, deafening her inner ears, and making her feel all my pain and wrath. Her blood pools on the ground around us as I feel her life force fade. She wails and struggles in my grip but to no evade, as I clench my jaw until I hear the snap!I have never taken a life before, I never thought I would, never
Elias POV Finally holding my Chilli in my arms, somehow gives me strength. Rising to my feet I offer her a hand to help her up,"Let's get out of here." She smiles and accepts my help by taking my hand. As she gets to her feet they seem to give out from under her and I just manage to catch her by wrapping an arm around her waist, pulling her close to me to steady her. She blushes at me, looking tired and suddenly weak, I can't help but growl ever so softly as I give her a look of concern, worry, and annoyance. I feared this, I feared she'd go too far and use up too much power and energy. My free hand instinctively rushes to her stomach again in a panic, but Chilli just holds my hand there and smiles weakly,"I'm okay, we are okay, promise," I grunt at her, unhappy she exhausted herself so much, but taking her word for it for now."Okay, but as soon as possible, we are going to the hospital to get you two checked out, just to be safe and sure," I tell her,
