Chapter 14

Over the ten years since Regina reversed her father's decree, more and more Wolves have returned to the Pack. With each passing month, the vast forest of Storybrooke, Maine slowly became more populated with Wolves during each full moon, the sound of howling could be heard for miles. While many Wolves created smaller pods and claimed areas for their own, every Wolf in the Storybrooke forest knew who was a part of the Alpha's pod, and where they ran, never crossing over into Regina's territory out of respect. With the exception of David and Archie, who occasionally stopped by to say hello, before taking off again. Because of this, Regina was able to lower her guard, like she used to when it was only her and Ruby in the forest.

It was because of this reason, Regina never saw the other Wolf, until his mouth was wrapped around the back of her neck, his teeth piercing her flesh.

She yelped in pain as she violently shook him off, stumbling to the side in shock. Before her brain could process what was going on, he was lunging at her again, catching her on the side of her face, ripping open the skin above her mouth. Regina stood her ground, growling loudly, until the unmistakable whine of her scared son behind her distracted her for a moment. Regina growled as Emma took a step forward, turning around to make eye contact, her expression fierce, as she made sure Emma and Ruby knew they were to protect Henry at all costs, even if it meant leaving her.

The momentary distraction gave the Wolf the opportunity to strike again, this time catching Regina on her left shoulder. The sound of ripping flesh made Emma cringe, as the Wolf jumped back, a clump of fur and skin dripping with blood hanging from his mouth. Regina howled in pain, blood beginning to pour from her shoulder, as she finally had the opportunity to strike. A deep growl sounded from her throat, as she leapt into the air. She pounced on the Wolf, whose fur was a deep honey brown, clamping down on the side of his neck so hard she tasted blood. Before he could get his bearings, she lunged again, catching him this time on his left ear, ripping the top off, spitting the tip of his ear out onto the ground.

Henry cried again, and Emma and Ruby tightened their stance around him. The three watched in horror as Regina and the new Wolf fought hard, growling and snapping, claws and teeth making contact with the other, as they both attempted to incapacitate the other, targeting the most vulnerable and unprotected spots, at the throat and belly. Blood spattered in every direction as the fierce battle continued, Regina eventually gaining the upper hand when she managed to pin him down on his back, exposing his throat. She bared her teeth, and lunged forward, her intention was to incapacitate her opponent, when she felt his feet against her stomach. Within seconds, Regina was being launched into the air, crashing into a tree, her head hitting the trunk with a bone crushing force, momentarily stunning her. Regina's head pounding and her vision blurred while she struggled to stand, the Wolf taking this opportunity to strike once again, making contact with her stomach. She howled in pain, as the Wolf tore a large piece of flesh and fur from her stomach. She tried to fight back, blood pouring out of the large gashes, as he continued attacking her. Emma cried out as she watched her Wife, laying on the ground, the screams of pain ripping her heart out, standing her ground to protect her son, his cries matching hers.

The Wolf stopped when Regina went limp and stopped fighting, blood pooling below her on the ground.

As soon as Regina stopped moving, the Wolf turned his attention to the three remaining Wolves, standing a few yards away. He stalked towards them, his eyes trained on Henry, who was shaking and crying. Emma and Ruby growled in unison, as the Wolf stalked closer and closer, moving around them, looking for an opening. Just as he leapt into the air to pounce, a flash of black shot out from the side, colliding with him in mid air, knocking him to the ground with a large thud. Before anyone could process what was happening, Regina's teeth were sinking into the Wolf's throat, ripping a large piece of flesh, causing blood to spray onto their fur. The Wolf screamed, as Regina attacked again, growling loud, her teeth removing more of the Wolf's throat, this time backing away, watching as the Wolf convulsed, until he eventually stilled, his chest rising and falling for the last time.
