Chapter Fifteen: Til Death Then shall we be free

As Damon finished with his deal and saw Motus nodding in agreement, he asked Jax and Shasta to released Motus.

Damon then told Haddox and Amadaus fshove Atzi forward into the open arena, slamming the gate behind her.

"BEGIN!" Damon shouted. At this, Motus charged swiftly at his opponent. Kill was all on his mind. Atzi lowered a bit and took the tackling blow Motus hit her with.

She yelped and only tried to scramble away, not wanting to hurt him. Her Inner Luna wouldn't let her do it. Once on her feet she'd side step as best she could.

"QUIT DODGING AND FIGHT!! YOU DIDN'T COWARD WHEN YOU KILLED HER!!! FIGHT ME!"

Motus snarled as his front claws slashed and tore her sides. She yelped aloud again. She claws at him to try and get back, but her energy was waning fast.

Atzi whined and barked trying to speak, but she couldn't. She only could either dodge til he grew wary or let him kill her.

Motus growled and panted as he jumped around and chased his opponent down.

"Why won't he fight?! He was a killer when he killed Atzi..but..there is something off. He pondered as he contiued his attacks.

Atzi ran behind him, but she suddenly felt hot breath and the searing pain of fangs crunching into her hind leg's flesh. she fell yelping in pain and shivered greatly.

Her leg bleed profusely and didn't seem to slow down. His fangs gnashed and tore her leg badly. Atzi kicked and cut across his left eye with her good hind leg.

When he reared back off her, she rolled away and limped a bit away before she fell and laid there. Motus waked up and huffed at the injured wolf. He could tell it's death was near.

As he opened his maw to give the death blow, the wolf's eyes flickered into Atzi's blue and gold ones before returning back red. He shook his head and lowered his head as he spoke.

"A..Atzi..?...Is...that you...?" Motus' voice shook with each word.

"y..yes...Damon took my voice til i was near death...at least now we can both be free. It's what he wants."

Atzi spoke after knowing her voice was back. she laid her head down, exhausted and draining life fast. Motus let a saddend whimper out.

From Damon's view, it seemed as if motus was sniffing the wolf on the ground. He became impaitient.

"FINISH IT!!" He yelled.

Motus reared up and seemed to bite into the wolf's neck. Her body laid motionless..eyes closed. Satisfied, Damon said:

"A deal is a deal. You are free to go Motus...but the curse im afraid stays as the page with the cure is missing. And you know our laws, i take over while another Alpha is indisposed."

Damon laughed evily and had ordered everyone to let Motus free. They all agreed and left him alone in the arena. Motus whined and nuzzled the she wolf Atzi's face.

"I'm Taking you home. You need rest."
