Whiskey.I went to step off the beast but was halted when two massive arms came around my body, trapping my arms at my sides. Calmness swept over me as gentle sparks danced across my skin. I breathed in deeply, taking in the scent of Tobias, the gargantuan brown man. I growled lowly and pushed on his arms, to get him to let me go. “Calm now, Little Warrior” he whispered into the crook of my neck.“Let. Me. Go!” I snarled out each word clearly and harshly. His arms didn’t budge, if anything he tightened them. I felt the firm ridges of his chest and abdomen muscles press at my shoulders. His heavy breaths blew into my hair, making the stray strands dance. His scent was calming but infuriating at the same time. How can a stranger have such strong effects on my body? I know that he feels some sort of way about me. But that feeling is not mutual.I slammed my head back, hoping to connect with his nose, but the bastard was too big. The back of my head hit his chest, while just the top of m
Whiskey.The village itself was dark and quiet. With the dawn not far away, everyone was still fast asleep. That makes it easier to pick them off, though far less fun. I prefer them to run, I enjoy the chase, the hunt. Thankfully, I don’t feel the need to hide and be sneaky anymore. I want them to know I'm coming for them. I want her to know I'm coming for her. She’ll know that I will be the one to end her. Standing outside the shed, out in the open, in clear view of anyone who thought to look my way, I lifted my head and took a deep breath. I let the air fill my lungs, I let it seep into my bloodstream. I could feel the energy it gave me, the extra power boost shot through my body. Air is my thing. It’s my strength, my bond. I am air. And when I wish it, I can take it away. Such a beautiful gift, to deprive anyone of the one thing they need to survive. Their one true life source. That power in my hands was intoxicating.I turned my gaze back to the village. The pickings in the cleari
Whiskey.My small stature had always worked in favour of making me look unthreatening. Men usually fell for the trick. In my experience, a male could never see a female and consider her a threat. Especially if that female was smaller than him. Too bad for them and their closed-minded way of thinking. I am far more dangerous than any man, no matter his size.I had walked back far enough now, and thankfully without them noticing my retreating. As soon as the first guard turned his head away to speak with the one behind him, I took my chance. I pulled the pole from the chest of the dead dog on the ground and launched it through the air like a spear. It was a perfect throw, hitting like a bullseye, slicing right through his lower abdomen. The guard gurgled and dropped to his knees. Not a kill shot I don’t think, unfortunately. The blue eyed prisoner screamed and began to blubber as the other guard changed into his beast on the fly. The mutt, now covered in scruffy brown fur, flew toward m
Whiskey.I gave Tobias and the angry woman a large birth and made my way back to the shed where they had been keeping the prisoner. The searching warriors were moving further away from the village, just as I had hoped they would. This should be a quick and relatively easy task. Not even Gunner and his little bitch Mate will get in the way of my mission. I climbed onto the same tyre, under the same window, and peered through the dirty glass once more. Gunner’s mother and father had left now, but the prisoner wasn’t left alone. One of the dirty wolves from Doyle’s pack was now joined by three people, probably members of Gunner’s pack. Though, just by looking at the fowl glare and the dishevelled appearance of one of the humans, and the fact that he hung rather close to the wolf, I think it’s a safe assumption to guess he is one of Doyle’s. Taking down four measly animals is child’s play. I'm determined not to let that blue eyed bastard get away from me for a second time. Hopefully, I've
Zelena.“The village needs to be cleared of all pack members. She is stronger and more powerful than I think you have anticipated” I began.“She has been killing off packs across the country, yet she has somehow managed to come out unscathed each time. That’s very unusual. We can’t risk our people's lives, so we have to get them out of here” I continued.“That has been agreed to by all of us already” Felix added.“Good. Next, the fighters need to surround the village, but stay out of sight. If she tries to run, we need to be able to stop her”“Yes, good idea” Lupus nodded along.“Then, I will face her” I said sternly.“Not alone” Gunner growled lowly. I huffed and took his hand.“Not completely alone, no. I will need you there. You're going to put the force field up around us, keeping everything on the outside safe from whatever happens on the inside”“And what is it you think is going to happen inside the force field?” Smith snapped. He looked and seemed a little upset. His mouth was
Zelena.“I didn’t mean to, Love. Not at first. But I couldn’t see any other way to get her back here without killing me, or trying to escape again” Gunner said gently while reaching his hand out for me to take. I was reaching up for it until he said the last part, and then I swiftly pulled it back.“She tried to escape. So you forced her to come here, I thought she agreed to it?” I asked angrily. I know what she has done, I know she has killed so many people. But I can’t ignore the protective instincts I feel. She is still my family after all.“She agreed, albeit hesitantly. But she agreed. She was just scared and uncertain, especially after learning I was an Alpha, and everything that went down with Doyle. I didn’t force her, I just helped her” Gunner said convincingly. I took a slow deep breath and closed my eyes for a second. I know Gunner would never do something to hurt a woman. He would have felt the urgent need to bring her home, to fulfil the prophecy. Even if he didn’t know i
