The Son of Artemis and Fenrir

Chapter 10 - The First Curse

Once the bright flash disappeared I saw a large, alabaster white dragon charging head first into the bitch who had just brutally murdered three of the guards. The rest of us huddled around my Mum, trying to protect her as much as possible.
"Gabriel. A little help here!" The angel screamed as the dragon, Stephen bit a large chunk of his arm out before spitting away.

When Stephen leapt up to claw at the angel's arm, I realised that the thicker scales around his neck were almost identical to the fur he had when he would shift into a wolf. It was not really a fight. Stephen was too large and too strong to be overwhelmed by the angel. Within minutes the fight was over. Surprisingly, there was no blood sprayed over Stephen.

As he walked away from the fading corpse, he slowly melted back into his "normal" body. Once he had returned, I noticed that his hands were plastered in blood, the same was true about his left leg except this one was still actively flowing. Stephen dashed over to us.
"Are you okay? What happened?" He practically screamed.
"We are okay, well I have broken my leg." Mum said as she hobbled over.
"How did this happen?" Stephen asked furiously.

"He happened." One of the black Wolves said as he gestured towards the remaining angel. Stephen partially shifted as he turned to face it.
"Why? Why have you attacked my home, SLAUGHTERED MY PEOPLE? What have I ever done to you? We lived here peacefully, if anything it should be us attacking you!" Stephen screamed as he loomed over the angel.
"And why would that be?" The angel replied with a creepily calm tone. Stephen grabbed him by his neck as his face elongated into that of the Wolves'.
"Because you and the coward you stand for took everything from me. That is why. Because it was not enough to kill my biological parents. But then you persecuted and slaughter those who you deem too wild, those who will not bend a knee. Well tell me why now did you decide to attack, why not sooner?" Stephen growled as he threw the angel into the cave wall.

"Because my Master's bidding is that I am to bring you in alive. Whether or not peacefully was up to you." The angel said as he brushed the rock off of his shoulders.
"Oh cause killing my people, harming my family will make me want to come with you." Stephen growled as he brandished his blade.
"You decided it would end this way when you caged and killed innocent creatures!" Stephen spat before charging straight for the angel.

The angel seamlessly side stepped the blade moments before it would have embedded itself in it's shoulder. I noticed that Stephen's arms were glowing a brighter blue as the moments ticked on. Stephen went in for a second strike but this time the angel caught the blade. Within seconds he had twisted Stephen's arm and kicked him away before tossing the blade aside. "Guards. Distract the angel." I muttered as I sneakily scampered over to where the blade hilt lay discarded.

Thankfully the three black Wolves all ran and bit into a different limb of the bastard as I picked the blade up and started to run back to Stephen.
"How pathetic." I heard the angel spit as he tossed two of the wolves over the edge to their deaths. "Needing a little bitch to fight your battles." He continued as he kicked the last of the Wolves into the cliff. I heard an almost gag inducing crunch as the bones collapsed in on themselves.

I saw Stephen struggling to get up. I could just about see him muttering something under his breath. I was so close. "Brother catch." I shouted as I threw him his blade. I then felt something grab ahold of my tail. I heard his sinister laughter as he turned me so he could see me. "What a useless excuse of a Wolf. You could not protect your siblings. You can not protect your mother. You can not even protect yourself." He laughed.

"No more." I heard Stephen mutter.
"What was that boy." The angel spat.
"Please I beg of you, let them go." Stephen said as he spat up blood.
"And why would I do that." He asked grinning evilly.
"Let then go and I will go with you." Stephen cried as more blood leaked from his leg.
The angel gently tossed me aside.
