Freya.
Blood tricked from my body from the fight and scratches that I received. My back was cold, painful, and drenched, from what I assumed was a mixture of both blood and sweat.
My legs were almost buckling from fatigue, pain, bleeding, and pressure, yet I kept on fighting, taking on whoever came closer to me. If it was on another day, I would have given up, choosing the easier way, but no, I could not afford to give up. My life, although miserable, was not mine alone. I had a life to take care of. I had a pup to protect, and I was going to do so with my body, my blood, and my sweat.
I was panting heavily as I bent, retrieving my small dagger from my waist, the only thing that I was able to come out with from that forsaken pack, and I was glad that I took it because my body was beginning to give up, and I could use a third hand.
By then, the rogues were not taking me seriously because they were confident in their numbers. I slashed my dagger through the next rogue's throat, and it let out a painful groan, alarming the rest, and they all charged towards me, ready to tear my body into shreds, very weird, right? because rogues are never known to be very protective of each other. With their deviant and selfish hearts, only looking out for themselves, unity is the least of their concern, no? Unless they were not rogues ! 'something is fishy!' I mattered as I attacked and defended at the same time, fighting for my dear life.
" You are a feisty one, aren't you? I like it! " One of the many stopped the rest, walking near me, licking his dirty lips, and I wanted nothing but to s***h his tongue out.
" You can't speak?" He shouted, pissed by my silence. " Be obedient, and I will make this very simple and fast. " He spoke as he came nearer, and I almost gagged. His smell was both terrible and weird, but the funny part was that he was smelling nothing close to a rogue. During my period as a Luna and a warrior, I had interacted with thousands and thousands of rogues, and I was already accustomed to their behaviour, smell, and patterns.
' You are right about that, Reya. Something is not adding up. ' My wolf added, and I had a sense of foreboding. ' Anya? Please be on the lookout. If you sense any danger, warn me. We need to live past these. We need to protect ourselves and our pup.' I desperately pleaded with my wolf, and she nodded in agreement at the back of my mind. Although my wolf could not phase, she was not completely useless as her senses were heightened, and she could sense danger from a distance.
" I will make sure you have a great time before I take your pathetic life. I am positive that you will enjoy it. Having your best or**sim before you breathe your last. That sounds wonderful, right? " He remarked greedily as he spread his claws over me and my wolf snarled, letting out a terrifying groan I never knew I could produce. I guess my little wolf also had her bottom line.
' I am not little. I am very strong. We will phase when the time is due. Now, finish that stupid thing off!' Anya ordered sternly, and without thinking, I slashed the rogue's neck, ruthlessly dismembering him. ' Yes! We will phase, only if we manage to live past this !' I linked back with a sad smile.
One by one, they charged at me, and although I was able to defeat them, I was aware of my weakening body, and it was a matter of minutes before I lost my willpower.
" Who dares to cause havoc in my territories?" A heavy, terrifying voice boomed in the background, and an involuntary shiver left my body. All the rogues barred their necks in submissions, and they tacked their tails between their legs. That was to show how scared they were of the approaching giant. Did I still have a chance to survive? Fear gripped my heart as I waited in trepidation.
"You are quite a character!" The same snarly voice boomed, and I gripped my dagger tightly, praying to the moon goddess, hoping for a miracle.
"I don't like the willful type. " The same voice remarked angrily, but this time, it was nearer, and I felt some odd familiarity as I listened.
I felt like I had heard that voice before, but sadly, I could not remember where.
Too lost in my thoughts, I was surprised to see a huge black werewolf before me, and it was bearing its canines out, ready to tear me apart.
As I stared at the approaching danger, my heartbeat accelerated, and for a second, I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack.
Although the black wolf appeared oddly familiar, I could not recall where I had seen it before. Besides, there were millions and millions of huge black wolves, right? it was like searching for a single sand grain from a sea of sand.
" You are not rogues, are you?" Finally, I voiced my conclusions, my voice laced with disgust as I stared at them, and from their reactions, I was right. My gut feelings were correct all along. I was not attacked by your usual rogues but by normal pack wolves disguised as rogues.
Although I didn't want to believe it, I already had a suspect in mind, Asher, my ex-husband, and my former mate. He was the only one who hated me so much to wish me death and to actually act on his hatred.
" Too smart for your own good, right? " The huge black wolf remarked, with disdain coating his every word. The hatred in his voice could not be masked, further adding to my suspicions.
" What do you want from me?" Despite how angry and tired I was, my voice was oddly calm, giving off a scary vibe.
" No, what do you think I want?" His voice boomed, showing off his sharp canines as he flashed me an ugly grin, and I wanted nothing but to dismember him, putting an end to his arrogance.
" Asher sent you to kill me?" Although I wanted it to come out as a statement, it came out like a question. A part of me was still hopeful that my suspicions were wrong and that Asher was not responsible for the attack.
" You have something that belongs to us. " The sneaky b***tard spoke arrogantly as he pointed towards my belly with his claws, and my heart leapt a beat. Automatically, my hands went to my belly as I took several steps back.
" Stay away from me!" I shouted as I pointed my dagger at him, and he let out a terrifying laughter, inching closer to me. " Too late for that, sweetheart!"
" If you think I am going to let you kill me without fighting back, then you are wrong! " I breathed shakly as I asserted."I will fight you with all I have!" I shouted as I approached him, and he started laughing, looking down on me. Taking advantage of his distraction, I drove my dagger through his right shoulder blade, and he was unceremoniously forced to shift into his human form, a trick I had secretly borrowed from someone...
Looking at his nude and familiar appearance, my heart fell, and my movements faltered, standing frozen in the same spot.
" Be..Beta Logan?" I stammered as I questioned.
