The Wolves' Revenge THE ESCAPE
Sophia came to after what must have been several minutes, or even about an hour at the insistent tugging of her mother’s hands on her arms and her faint groans. They were still where they had fallen some meters away from the lair and the ongoing fight and chaos, which had died down a bit but was still ongoing. Taking a quick look at Maria, Sophia saw that her mother only looked slightly better than when they had first started running away from the clearing.“Run… you need to run away, Sophia. They’re coming for us. I won’t let them have you…” Maria said once she was certain that she had Sophia’s attention, but Sophia was not having any of it. She got up on wobbly legs and tried to pull her mother along with her, but her mother resisted. Even in her weakened form, she was much stronger than Sophia, so it was like pulling a brick wall.“Mom, I won’t leave you alone. They’ll kill you. I know they will.”“They won’t.” Maria lied, knowing very well what would happen, but she had been a disa
The Wolves' Revenge Questions
Michael stared at the man warily, not knowing what to make of him or if he should even believe him. Duncan looked quite sincere though, but apart from that, he looked really worried, although Michael guessed that that was because he was scared of what would happen to his fiancée. “You do know that I can tear you from limb to limb without breaking a sweat if it turns out that you’re lying, don’t you?” Michael asked him quietly, and the man nodded effusively. “I know, but I’m telling you the truth. I have nothing to gain by lying to you and everything to lose. Look, we both have something to gain here. You help me get my fiancée back, and I’ll take you straight to the person who is responsible for your family’s death.” “You keep on going on and on about me helping you to rescue your fiancée. What even makes you so sure that I can even help you?” The man averted his gaze before answering, suddenly looking very uncomfortable. “I just know. You’re a strong werewolf and you have a reputa
The Wolves' Revenge The story
“I used to live down the street from you guys and was kind of friends with your older brother, Matt, as we were in the same age grade.” Duncan started, glancing away briefly when Michael’s eyes hardened a little at the mention of his older brother. “Those days were bad ones for me, and I hate to remember them, but if you’re to know what happened, I’ll need to relive them.” “I’m sorry about that. However, I’m sure reliving those days is going to be much worse for me than it is for you. I can’t remember you, though.” Michael stated somberly. To date, he still remembered his elder brother, who had been ten years old when the incident occurred, but only vaguely. They had been close, and Michael remembered his brother trying to teach him how to ride a bicycle, even though he had only been a child himself, and how they had caught frogs in the pond a few meters from their house back then. He smiled fondly at the memory but was soon brought out of his reverie when Duncan continued his story.
The Wolves' Revenge Decision making
“Look, all this talk is just a waste of time. Let’s get going immediately. You’ll fill me in on what I need to know on the way there. There’s not a second more to be wasted.” Michael said abruptly, the rage beginning to rise within him as he pondered on all that Duncan had told him. He began to stride away as fast as he could, knowing that Duncan would follow him when the latter’s voice rang out.“Um, what about the girl?” Duncan asked hesitantly. Michael thought he could detect a faint tinge of shame in his voice. “Dammit! What even possessed you to kidnap her in the first place? Now she’s only going to cause us to waste time.” Michael yelled, kicking hard at a tree trunk and causing a sizable chunk of it to fall off the tree. He ignored Duncan’s gulp of fear at this action and took a deep breath to calm himself down before pasting a smile that he knew looked fake even without seeing it on his face. Then he headed to the shack in which Audrey was still tied.She was clearly angry and
The Wolves' Revenge WASTED EFFORTS
The woods were rife with nocturnal activities, such as the sounds of little animals scurrying around, and other larger animals that Sophia steadfastly refused to think about. She could hear them pausing and continuing their movements, apparently viewing her as no serious threat as she slowly trudged through the bushes. She could not blame them either, after all, this was their time to move around, plus they were in their territory. Sophia had since lost track of time, and all that mattered to her now was getting as far away from the lair as possible, even though she did not know where on earth she was to go, or the dangers that she would meet on the way. She would have loved to think that she had put as much space as possible between herself and the lair, but the truth was that she did not know if that was the case or not. All she knew was that she had to keep going, moving, and never stop, until she keeled over, after which she would recover, stand up, and continue on her way. It wa
The Wolves' Revenge A quest
The night was still and quiet as Michael and Duncan drove through it. They did not meet anyone or see any other car on the way, making it seem as though they were the only ones in the whole wide world. Duncan sat on the passenger’s side, dozing and snoring with his mouth wide open. His complexion was still pale, but he looked far better than he had three days ago. In fact, three days ago, after Duncan had used the spell on Audrey to make her forget about the encounter in the bush and the fact that Duncan had kidnapped her, Michael had been fairly certain that the man was going to die on him.Totally exhausted, Michael pulled over to the side of the road, intending to take some time to rest, even if it was ten minutes. As soon as he pulled over though, Duncan came awake slowly and glanced around in a panic. Michael stared at him with raised eyebrows.“What? Why… where are we? Are we safe?” Duncan asked, wiping the remaining traces of sleep from his eyes as he looked around them, but th
The Wolves' Revenge The capture
Sophia woke up after what must have been hours, to the sound of her mother crying, and sat up with the speed of sunlight, regretting the swift motion when her head began to pound viciously and her vision swam. She paused for a bit to get herself back and then looked around her. It was already daylight, which meant that she had been out for hours. She was alone with her mother, who was still crying profusely and was sitting beside her, but could not do anything more, because of how tightly she was bound with chains.“Oh, thank God, Sophia. I thought that you were dead.” Maria whispered tearfully when her daughter finally focused on her.Sophia was silently studying her mother’s face, rage welling deep within her at the sight of Maria. She had been beaten so much that her two eyes were almost swollen shut, and her arm was hanging at a crooked angle as though it had been broken. The sky blue shirt that she was wearing was soaked with blood, and without anyone telling her, Sophia knew that
The Wolves' Revenge Vain hope
“Your father was the love of my life and my mate, but our pack refused to accept that a human could be my mate, after all, it had never happened in the history of our family, not that I knew of anyway. Our pack was one of the strongest in the werewolf world and boasted about having only purebloods, so when I told them my mate was human, I could understand their anger and resentment, but the heart wants what it wants, and what has been destined can't be avoided. They tried to force us apart and even looked for someone else for me to marry, but I eloped with your father when I discovered that I was pregnant for him.” “You were pregnant with me?” Sophia asked her mother, thinking of how horrible that time must have been for her and her father. “Yes, I was. We managed to elope to a city that was dwelled in majorly by humans and lived there for the better part of my pregnancy, but the pack, spearheaded by Jonas, soon found us. There was nowhere that we could hide, no matter how many times
