《The Luna》Chapter 6- Wolves
Advertisement
Standing in the kitchen I tried to think about what could happen and how I was going to keep everyone safe including Renee. Then I feel warm arms wrap around my waist. I smile when she lays her head on my back. I take a deep breath knowing that she is still here. I feel her heart beating faster. She's thinking about something. I turn around and pull her head up to look at me with my finger. She has tears in her eyes and I know she's thinking about something bad,
"What's wrong" I ask.
She smiles lightly and starts telling me about this dream she had. She was running through a forest being chased by another wolf. She says the trees caught of fire and that the trees we're falling almost crushing her. Then she heard me howl. So she howled back letting me know where she was. I howled in return and came for her. She said when she could see me another wolf attacked me. She said that while I was fighting the wolf that was chasing her attacked her finally. Then when she killed it she said I was dead. Pain struck me knowing that she had a dream as horrible as this. Tears we're rolling down her cheeks and she looked like she would collapse. I pull her into my chest and she wraps her arms around me crying into my chest.
"I thought you we're dead." She says though sobs.
People in the living room are now standing in the door way in shock.
"I'm still here." I whisper lightly to her.
She keeps cry and I rub her back lightly. She starts relaxing, her crying easing up and her heart beating slower. I kiss the top of her head and she relaxes,
"I don't want you to leave me." She whispers.
I feel something inside me break at hearing her words. Something inside me just stops. My wolf feels it too, but he doesn't know what it is.
"I'm not going anywhere." I say.
She nods against my chest and I feel her smile.
Later on everyone turns on the TV and tries to relax. Renee lays in my arms with Sophia. Sometimes I consider that girl as our own. Then I start to think about the baby me and Renee came so close to having. Anger comes over me at the thought and I feel Renee touch my arm. She must of felt me tense up. I relax and she rubs my hand gently. I smile and relax against the back of the couch. She holds onto Sophia and sighs as the movie goes on. Some of the guards are in here, but the majority of them are outside paroling and keeping watch. Today has been a quiet day and nothing to bad has happen. We haven't had any rogue attacks, only a few sightings outside our boarder. This worried me. If they aren't attacking right now then they're planning something big or something big is going to happen. I shutter at the thought of having to leave our land, but i'll do anything to keep the pack safe.

*Alpha, there's movement outside the boarder.* One of the guards mind links me.
I say rolling my eyes.
He says.
I sit up slightly anger swimming through me. Everyone in the room looks at me and Renee is in shocking staring at me. I realize how bad I am shaking, but I can't control it. Renee grabs Sophia and backs up. I know that i'm close to shifting and seeing Renee calms me slightly,
*What do you mean they're not I ask still trying to control my anger.
He says.
That's it. I starting shaking rapidly as my wolf fights to be released. Renee puts Sophia down and runs over to me kneeling down in front of me. She looks me in the eyes and tries to calm me down. I relax slightly, but my wolf is still not happy with what we've just been told. Renee touches the side of my face and closes her eyes. I feel her inside of my mind for a split second before she opens her eyes and her hand flies up to her mouth in shock,
"Oh my gosh." She says.
I nod lightly and she turns to everyone. She sends two guards outside and tells the other two to stay for protection. I stand up and look out the window. I see guards running into the forest. I turn looking at Renee. She can feel the fear and worry in my eyes. I pull her to me hugging her as tight as I can without hurting her. I kiss her lightly then turn running out of the door. My wolf takes over as soon as the smell of the other packs hits me. I hurry into the forest and join the others. They've created a wall watching the area the smell is the strongest at. My beta comes to my side and nods letting me know that everyone is ready. I let out a warning growl waiting to hear something. Usually when I do this I get a surrendering howl, but this time I get a growl back. A growl that says they're ready to fight. I look at the wolves around me. They look ready to fight and I know that they're going to go all out on everyone. I hear another growl and then the sound of running. I don't have to see them to know there's a lot of them. We're probably about the same size. I howl letting the guys know its time, and also letting Renee know that it has begun.

We run hard and fast until I can see the other pack. They're Alpha heading straight towards me. My Beta and third in command are at my sides to help me take out the Alpha. If we kill the Alpha, the pack will stop fighting and surrender to who ever has killed their Alpha. I tell everyone around me to take out as many as they can including the other Beta and third in command. As we get closer I realize they're Luna is here with them. I know that by killing their Luna it will make the whole pack weaker. We attack head on. I go straight for the Alpha biting and attacking. He's a tad bit smaller than me. I laugh inside seeing his size. He comes at me and I doge him with ease. Other wolves come at me and I get knocked to the ground. I get up fast and move out of the way just as a wolf comes at me. I know I have something over this man, because he brought his Luna out here with him. I know that my mate is home save. While his is out here in the open with other wolves trying to kill her. I run into the fighting loosing the Alpha. I look around and find her fighting my Beta. She is a small thing. I smile because she is not as beautiful as my Luna. Her small little wolf and dirty brown fur are just not as attracting. I run for her and knock her to the ground. She whines and I smile at her weakness. I hear the Alpha growl as I bite her neck. She lets out a whimper as I snap her neck. I turn and see Alpha watching as the light fades from her eyes. My pack takes this moment and attacks him. While they've got him down I run and latch onto his neck. I feel his pulse in my mouth as I bite down harder waiting for the beating to stop. The other wolves around me bite down harder and claw at him. His strength is starting to give out and I see the light slowly fading from his eyes. He closes them and the beating stops. I release him and he falls lifeless onto the ground. All the fighting around me stops. Everyone looks at their dead Alpha. Some of their eyes wonder over to their fallen Luna as well. One of the wolves breaks free from the crowd and comes charging at me. I slip past him and he is caught by my Beta and third command. I nod to them and they finish him off. I turn into my human form and look around. A low growl comes out of my chest and everyone bows.
"You will either leave and never return or join!" I growl.
Small whimpers come from everywhere. Then some of them slowly get up and walk away with their tails between their legs. I nod for two guards to watch them and make sure they leave then I look back at the wolves that are still bowing,
"Those that are still here choose to stay?" I ask.
No one says anything and I smile pleased with the reaction. Just as I'm about to tell them to start walking I hear the loudest growl in the world. Turning I see the worst sight I have ever seen. A sight I would've wished not to see. An Alpha thats just as big as me with a pack much bigger than mine behind him.
"Red Forest."

Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.
