Wolfwalkers Artwork Novels & Stories

The wolf roared angrily at Linda, thrust its claws into her chest and growled menacingly, baring its sharp teeth. “Enough, stop!” snapped Aryadi, in an instant he turned into a black wolf and pounced back at the red wolf. Linda got up again with black blood seeping between the fronts of her clothes. As she was about to attack for the umpteenth time, the remaining witches finally stopped the vampire woman's actions with magic like a few minutes ago, as well as wolf-shifter Aryadi. Rokan Allegro took a deep breath, pushing out the wood and marble shards on his back with his strength until they fell. “Take them both to the prison ward,” he muttered, enduring the pain in his body.

After a while, Zane could already see the end of their woods where he could see a vast open landscape that looks like another world within Moon Valley. A gem-blue stream wound up at the end of the forest welcomed the werewolves. Babbling and burbling, it sprung over the limestone rock in its way. The hedgerows were pregnant with wild berries, almost looking like a man-made attraction completing that picturesque beauty of the place. The stream was glinting with little sparkles, like tiny diamonds blessed with an inner fire from the sunglow. They reflect on the werewolves’ pair of eyes as they come near the edge of the stream.

“The three black werewolves, it was a message.” Aria frowned, not understanding. “The time of the terrorists. The three black werewolves. The king and his two eldest sons. One of them is a prisoner now.” The Terrorizers. The ones her father wanted to stop. They were three black werewolfs, always three with one flying at the front and one on each behind him. They were known to cause terror and therefore got the name. Alone, they took many lives and burned villages down to the ground.

Mary knew as she got closer to that damn state her wolf would become even more restless, it was home and her old family pack would be close. Bill had offered to come along but Mary knew this was dangerous even more so now that Tiffany had let her wolf free. Artemis had not fully made her way out when Mary had paid a witch to bind her daughter’s wolf and keep her hidden, hidden even from the child that shared the body and mind with. And the people that had killed her pack would know she was there as well and would be looking for her.

But instead of old stories from my grandmother’s life, the pages were scrawled with strange symbols and sketches—shorthand in her handwriting explaining the purpose of different runes and sigils. Flipping through the pages, there were sketches of wolves, and the last page that she’d written in had a detailed rendition of a nightmarish wolf-beast that made my blood run cold at the sight of it, it’s eyes smudged over with charcoal in the shape of a protective rune. My heart raced when I realized what I was holding. This was no ordinary journal, it was a spell book.

The car journey wasn't as awkward after that, the Second in Command had introduced himself as Sam with Torey telling me that the other four wolves were pack warriors who were following close behind in two cars. Luara began to shuffle in her car seat, she was getting restless from being bored. I leaned down, grabbing her coloring book from her bag, passing it to her along with some coloring pencils. She started to draw two wolves on the blank piece of paper while forcing Elijah to hold her pencils. Elijah watched on as she began coloring them in, his eyes concentrating on every movement. "You got names for the two wolves you're drawing?" Luara nodded eagerly, pointing to her drawings. "This o

The royal family demanded respect and that was exactly what they gave her. Halfway toward the dungeon, we noticed movement not far from us. Just within the trees surrounding the garden on this side. Various guards were yelling. Screaming for people to stop. On instinct, I pulled Farren close to me. Held her behind me. A large figure broke from the trees. Sped toward us until he shifted into his wolf form. Seeing Lysander, Farren broke free from me. She sprinted towards him. Her dress tangled beneath her feet. She stumbled. Lysander was there. Followed by two unknown wolves. One of darkest black and the other of the whitest white. Zaven and Kallik.

The whole place had a pulse of excitement and anticipation. The tailors gave me the clothes for tonight. It is a three-piece suit made from wool that matches our eye color, blue, and silver. They embroidered the sleeves with symbols of our pack, the triskele. “Alarick!” I shouted as a lot of werewolves also occupied the tavern. “Ylva’s looking for you.” Alarick nodded and went in my direction. He looks like a busy merchant trying to greet all his emptor. “Let her be. She knows her way around.”

“If you’re trying to say something, say it. Stop speaking in riddles and confusing me even more.” “The moon knows no fraud, Alpha,” he murmured, turning back to his canvas. “But men do. And witches… most of all.” He raised his hand, and the paintbrush stopped moving—all fell to the ground. The painting was done now—a wolf kneeling, chains of light around his neck, and a woman reaching for him through the fire while two other dark creatures watched it burn. I stared at it, unable to speak. My throat tightened. “What do you want from me?”

As we walk in, an envelope falls from a brunette’s carelessly-zipped backpack and I help her pick it up before she can walk past it. “Thank you.” She beams brightly at me. I don’t bother to answer. I’m not here to make friends, and won’t engage with anyone to the extent of developing attachments. I finally walk into a wide fancy hall way, and I let my eyes roam. Beautiful paintings line the wall. Most of them are eerie. A big black wolf. A high castle surrounded by butterflies. Snakes curled around black flowers. And a dragon painting. A chilling tingle creeps up my arm, traveling to my spine as I access the dragon painting specifically. It’s…big.
