Prologue 9 - Fur and Fury
*Rayla, NO!*
*Alpha!!*
Ignoring both pleas I leapt from my hiding spot, landing on the opposite side of the root barrier. My snarling roar rang like a declaration of a war, and it made the air tremble as I fixed the bastards before me with a burning gaze. Indeed, my entire body felt afire with this shame, this rage. Fury erupted from my limbs as I felt my claws grow longer, sharper, until they threatened to cut open my own skin. I didn't care in the slightest.
I felt a small flash of satisfaction beneath my fury at seeing the shock on the faces of everyone present, including Tando. He certainly hadn't expected to see

Tando howled and went off-balance, reaching for the clinging female with a massive furred hand. I wasted no time in snapping my jaws at his arm as I collided with his stomach, sending the three of us down in a tumble, with Soiya and I on top. But before I could get a good hold on him another dark shape hurled itself at me, knocking me off of Tando and to the ground. The male I didn't know was upon me now and trying to sink his teeth into my shoulder. I rolled us to one side and swatted at his face, catching it hard, my claws leaving a bloodied gash down his nose and across his cheek. He snarled and hopped away as I regained my feet, seeming wary to approach me again. Those moments had been all Tando needed to free himself from Soiya's grip. He flung her to the ground in front of him with a snarl, saliva dripping from his jowls, as Marc took the opportunity to

I growled softly, hoping it didn't sound like a whimper. Rufias knew the risks of doing battle with Tando of all people and had chosen to stay anyway, but my heart wept to see him injured. Were more of the Pack here he would retreat without question, trusting us to finish the kill. There was no such luxury now. Still, I prayed to Luna that he would be smart and let me handle things from here. The thought terrified me. I knew he wouldn't. Neither would Soiya, though she seemed a bit more obedient to my commands so far. But she was injured too, and likely could not run on that leg any more for the time being. The best thing I could do for them now was to not let my worry get to me. Even better if it didn't show on me at all, for I already knew it was a weakness that Tando would eagerly exploit. Somehow or another, I would protect my Pack. Even if

*Surry! Everyone!!* I shouted with joy as my Pack now surrounded me, barking, howling, and sniffing around me for any sign of injury. *Alpha! What do we do?* *Help the others! Make sure they're okay. Both have injuries. I'm not sure how serious.* *Already on it. I meant what do we do about Tando. Do we pursue him?* Seeing that several packmembers were already gathered around Rufias – who now lay on his paws, ob

The sight of those eyes held me captive. I couldn't imagine what was behind them, but I did find myself desperately wanting to know. Why was that? It was as though something shone from just beneath his mangy exterior, just out of my sight, waiting to be revealed. As I gazed at his face, trying to judge his features, he moved. For perhaps the first time, he moved. He raised his head slowly, and I thought that surely he must've felt there had been a change in his circumstances. He would examine his surroundings and take note of the others like him, including myself. His eyes would squint with suspicion, and a feral growl would escape his throat; or maybe a question, raspy and delirious, about where he was, or what was happening to him. But he did none of those things. He looked right at me.

There was Soiya, whose human form looked truly luxurious under the sneaking moonbeams. Her pale skin seemed softly to glow, and her dark hair fell across most of that youthful face while she slept, appearing contended.A thick bandage wrapped around her ankle. When I’d asked after her condition earlier, nobody seemed to think that it would be a lasting injury. That was comforting; Rufias had once said that she would become the savviest hunter in the Pack one day, and almost as swift as Surry, if not more so. I had a hard time imagining that, but for the man to speak so highly of her told me all I needed to know.I also found myself surprised that such an attractive young woman didn’t get have a Mate. Not one that I knew of, anyway. Not that it was any of my business.Feeling a bit like a voyeur, I moved my gaze to the still form lying beside her, half-wrapped up in her limbs for warmth or for comfort. Clear

Against all my better values it still pleased me that Soiya had managed even less contact with him than I had. I felt like a terrible person, and did my best to squash that feeling deep down with the rest of them. I hoped I wouldn’t need the room for any more regrets. Soiya now looked at me curiously, probably wondering why I seemed so interested. Maybe it was only my imagination that she would care. She smiled at me, which I returned, tight-lipped. “If anyone can get him to open up, it’s you, Alpha” she stated proudly, taking me aback. “Well” I said with a huff, “we’ve got our own to look after, too. This mystery boy is just one more thing on our minds right now, but I’m counting on you to help out as best you can.” I paused, tentatively. “Do you plan to stay with him the rest of the night?”

Across the mountain peaks and down upon the evergreen forest that sat along its edge, the dawning sun’s glow began to warm all beneath its touch. To the north - some miles beyond the forest’s limit and past a cracked and carved canyon in the earth - a Shifter stood over the corpse of his would-be rival. This male gnashed his teeth and spat, panting after the fierce battle he had just survived, and groaned as he ran a clawed hand over his furred crotch. The wounds there had reopened once again during this fight, something which caused him great deal of pain each time it happened. This wasn’t the first time they’d reopened within the past week, and that would only increase the amount of visible scarring when they finally did close for good. It was agony. But no matter the amount of physical pain the male wolf was in, nothing could compare to the anguish he still felt over

That all-too familiar warmth rose in my cheeks again while I admired his features. He had a high cheekbones and a strong nose, though it looked a little bent - quite possibly broken. His cheeks were still shallow, but his jaw was a bit soft as opposed to rigid or jutting, and he… well, he had rather beautiful lips, I had to admit. I of course couldn’t make out his eyes, but I began wondering what shade they might be to compliment the color and texture of his mouth… overall, the man had an incredibly decent set of features, neither too masculine nor overly feminine. I realized I was fawning slightly over him - but Luna, it was difficult not to! Still, I managed to tear my eyes and hands away from him long enough to stand up and brush myself off. There was much work to do today, and I would have to head back to my own tent before starting any of it. Besides, better to let him sleep now when he clearly needed it so
