The Wolf entering into the cabin is huge. Its fur is black, thick, and standing on end. It's huge mouth drooling saliva, mixed with blood. Its lips pulled back into a tight vicious sneer, and showing wickedly sharp looking teeth. Its ears pulled back, and its paws soiled with dirt, grass and blood. His eyes are filled with rage and hatred. And the wounds on his body are already healing. The Wolf starts walking around the cabin, with slow, and deliberate movements, all while flexing his size. He is stalking me and the Wolf kidnapper. Both Wolves are growling, snapping and showing each other's dominance, all while I'm stuck in the middle. Both Wolves are terrifying to look at, but this black one is far more superior.
The intimidation dance lasted for only a short moment, and then it quickly becomes a fight to the death. Both Wolves dive at each other and thankfully, land off to my side. As they're rolling, biting and snapping at each other, I am trying to wiggle myself away to safety. I manage to make it to the door. I can see that my tourniquet has come loose and I'm losing blood again. Shit!
I as I am wiggling myself out the door, I look back and see the Wolves biting and tearing flesh from each one another. It was horrifying, but I couldn't pull my eyes away. I kept pushing myself out the door, only to have fall down a steep step. Thankfully, this snapped the cord ties from around my wrists. I'm free! I quickly tighten my tourniquet to stop the bleeding, but I can't get my leg to work... I start crawling away as fast as I can with my arms, hands and elbows. Where are you, Ethan?!
Even though I'm getting further from the cabin, I still heard the killing blow, then whimper that followed, and the heavy thud as the Wolf's body hit the floor. I don't know who died, but I don't want to find out either. I start to panic because I know that I won't be able to get away fast enough, I need to hide.
As I'm trying to tuck myself under a fallen tree, I look up and see the silhouette of a Wolf in the door, bending down to smell my blood. Then he arches his back and neck to sniffing position. As soon as I realize that he is sniffing me out, he looks straight at me. I realize now, this is the black Wolf because his eyes are full of so much rage and hatred.
I'm starting to panic. This Wolf is going to kill me! I barely have time to move and he's practically on top of me. This is how I'm going to die... as I brace myself for death, I can feel my bones breaking and reforming, and I can hear myself screaming. Before I know it, I have paws where I used to have hands... oh my god! I transformed. I don't have time to marvel at myself because, I still have to deal with a rabid Wolf who wants to kill me. I think I startled the Wolf because he backed off briefly. Now he is getting ready to attack. I want to move but can't, my leg is still messed up. I'll just have to show as much dominance as I can.
I talk to myself. You have stood up against bullies before. And if they kick down, you only can go up from there! I am just starting to learn who I really am, and there is NO way I am going to let you take that from me! I think of all the people who have bullied me. Those who made fun of my red hair, those who kicked or punched me, and those who called me a looser. I will not be someone else's victim!! As all of my anger and rage peaked, I felt a tingling and burning sensation from down my neck to my lower spine, and then it was on fire, not painful, just really warm. It's my aura, I can see it! It's bright, and it's illuminating my white fur. My aura is dominating the Wolf before me. I am winning! I force as much of my aura as I can at the Wolf. The Wolf then whimpers, and falls to a kneeling position before me. After a few ragged breaths, the Wolf raises his eyes at me, they're no longer like a crazy rabid animal... they're Ethan's eyes in his Wolf form.
On the realization of who this Wolf is, I collapse. Then I can feel my bones shifting back to their normal positions. When I feel myself regaining consciousness, I open my eyes and see that Ethan is holding me in his arms. I am freezing and covered in sweat. He is cradling me and telling me that everything is going to be ok, and that help is on the way. I lift up my arm to touch his face, but I only have enough energy to touch him for a few seconds before my arm gives way.
**********************************************************************************
I have no memory of how I got here, but the next thing I remember is Ethan carrying me into some mansion and laying me down on something hard. Then I could hear him talking with several others. I can only make out words here and there.
"...we have to save her... she changed... my mate... our Alpha Queen... stronger than us all..."
I don't remember much more after that. Other than waking up in a large, plush bed, and the heat from a fireplace nearby... wait, why am I at Ethan's apartment? What happened to the mansion?
