Destiny's Tethers

Chapter 38 - Resolution

Having been among those instructed to head to the underground shelters, Gamma Marisa, Elise, Jessie some of the other omegas nevertheless rose to the challenge as a small handful of rogues began to sneak past into Moon River Pack borders.

Elise and Gamma Marisa had opted to stay above ground, assisting Doctor Enzo in bringing him pack warriors that required urgent medical attention. Elise had been on one of her runs, zipping in and out of the masses of wolves when she was pounced upon by a rogue. Rather than attack her however, the rogue dragged her behind a large rock, shifting back and leering at her.

"What a pretty and sweet smelling omega...I might spare you and make you my pet..."

The rogue chuckled and ran a hand through her fur, prompting Ember to snarl and bite his fingers. His face turned ugly quickly after that and he shifted and lunged - not getting very far before a dark shape rammed into his side and practically bashed him against the side of the large rock.

The man emitted a cry of pain as both he and Doctor Enzo shifted back, the latter staring him down murderously.

"Stay the fuck away from my mate."

This would be the one and only time Doctor Enzo was seen in the field, before he shifted back into Eston, lightly nuzzling Ember and helping her up before they helped another injured warrior back to his first aid site.

Jessie had ended up near the South Gate with Delta Lincoln, using what fighting skills she did know to injure and maim as many rogues as possible, being flanked by a few warriors now and then.

A few other omegas stationed themselves around the inner areas of the pack territory, using injections of wolfs and that Gamma Marisa had given them for self defense to finish off any rogues that managed to make it in.

And then there was Luna Olwen, who had by now shifted into Opal again. A good distance from the Moon River Pack - with Aaron still forgotten and unconscious up against a nearby tree - she and Kiara circled each other. And then Kiara made the first move and leapt for the smaller wolf.

With Olwen recalling the training that she had been put through by Delta Cassidy, Opal swiftly rolled aside, Kiara landing on the forest floor with a hiss of irritation. Opal did not give the rust coloured wolf any time to recover before she pounced onto Kiara's back, hooking her claws into the wolf's flank and sinking them in deep. Kiara howled angrily, shaking from side to side in an attempt to shake Opal off her. The silvery grey wolf held on for dear life, only pushing her claws in tighter. Remembering Cassidy's advice, she attempted to get a grip on Kiara's throat, managing a loose bite before the other wolf tossed her off.

Kiara huffed and shook out her coat, clearly channeling Kylie's frustration. She'd expected defeating Olwen to be easier than this, so the fact that Opal was still standing now was already a setback to Kylie's plan. She'd wanted to show some mercy to the omega, but it looked as if she didn't need to.

Opal righted herself quickly, going for another lunge at Kiara. The rust coloured wolf met her attack, her jaws immediately heading for Opal's throat. Sensing it coming, the silvery grey she wolf ducked her head out of the way, clamping down onto one of Kiara's legs instead.

Kylie had been one of the Silver Arrow Pack's most skilled warriors for a reason. She was strong and knew exactly how and where to strike. But if it were even possible, Olwen - an omega whom hadn't really known how to fight until a few years ago - was actually matching her. She managed to either block or avoid Kiara's more fatal strikes, and counter with attacks on her own. While Opal's inflicted injuries were not as severe, Kylie knew that if this kept going, that Olwen could gradually wear her down.

And yet despite now attempting to focus on blocking and dodging Opal, this proved surprisingly challenging for Kiara and Kylie as well. She'd witnessed how Olwen trained under Beta Kayden in the Silver Arrow Pack, and the omega had not been this fast, both in evading and attacking. Kylie found herself shockingly wide open for many of the Luna's attacks, ranging from scratches down the side of Kiara's head and tufts of her rust coloured fur falling off, to deep gashes of blood that began to rapidly appear all over the wolf's body.
