Blood Wolves [Reverse Harem X Reader]

Chapter 27

I looked at Johannes, sitting on one knee. I don't want to hurt him, but I can't marry him. I just.. can't.

He noticed the panic on my face and gives a comforting smile. "Don't worry." He says. "There is nothing romantic. It's just that humans are not easily welcomed in our clan, and this is right now the fastest and most easy way to do it." 

"I-" A sudden light catches both our attention. My eyes widen. Some camps are lit with enormous flames that weren't there moments ago. Distant yelling for help and the crying of wolves could be heard. My heart was beating faster in a panic.

W-what is happening?

Johannes immediately stands up. He takes my hand and drags me back deeper in the building. "Stay here." His voice is firm before he leaves with a few guards. I walk back to the window. From afar I can see figures on horses and having fire in their hands. Those uniforms.. oh no.

"Humans..."

I quickly pushed myself from the wall and tried going as fast I can possibly can to the door and open it, forgetting Johannes orders. I carried myself to the end of the corridor and swing the door open.

I need to find the others.. I need to find them

"Jonah!", I yelled as soon as I met the fresh air. I could hear the horses more clear. Wovles are running around. Some wounded, panicked or fighting. I make my way through the crowd. "Jonah!", I yelled again.

Damn it! Where is he..

"Liam! Connor?! Anyone?" I yelled, but my voice faded in the howles and battles cries of humans tha etmerged in the air. The large fires spreading from camp to camp. Despite the pain in my leg I force myself to walk.

Anyone.. please anyone..

Suddenly I get knocked on the ground. A grunt escapes my lips as I feel a sharp pain in my side. I look up and see a human wiith an axe. He swings it at me. I freeze and cover my face with my hands. Before the sharp edge can hit me the human get thrown away. A familiar figure before my eyes. "You're such a pain in the ass you know that?"

"Connor", I said with relief at the wolf. Unsuprisingly, he's already covered in blood. He grabs my upper arm and pull me up and throws me on his back. He transforms in his worlf form. His size large and majestic. His furr as black as night and his eyes bloodhirsty red. I fall on top of his back and grab onto him tightly as he ran. We went so fast I could barely see anything. The only thing that catches my eyes are the bodies, lying in their own puddle of blood. Both werewolves and humans. I bury my face into his furr. Everything goes fast yet also in slow motion at the same time. Images stuck in my head. Air and the smell of burning wood and blood hanging in my nose. Connor continues to run, but I don't know where. I don't want to know.

Suddenly he stops and I fall onto the ground. I see Connor falling beside me as an arrow is stuck in his side. He growls and immediatly attacks the human in front of us. I should look away but i'm too late. Conner's sharp teeth pierce through the humans neck and just like that he rips his throat. An sort of organ still hangin in his mouth before spitting it out and going to the next. My injured leg got another hit and I crawl forward. A few meeting away I see a sword in the hand of a dead man. I crawl too it. My body dragging on the ground, leaving a trail behind me. The muscles in my arms hurt as I reach for it.

Come on.. just a b-bit furhtur...

I felt the sword at my fingertips..

Come on, come on!

I grabbed the sword. Before I can react somebody grabs my shoulder roughtly and the point of my sword stabbed in a womans chest. My eyes widened, my body freezes. The woman stands there, the light of the fire around us seen in her eyes.

Thud.

Her lifeless body falls on the dirty ground, with the sword pierced in her chest. I catch my breath, as I finally find the strength to move again. I pushed myself up with my hands and force myself to stand. I limp over to the woman.

What happened.. happened...

I grab the sword.

They attacked me first.

I pull the sword out of her body.

This was self defense.

The sword in my hand dripped from red blood. It glides down the metal before it hits the dirty ground. I looked at the burning scenery in front of me. All of this is self defence.

Just like that the guilt dissapeared and I looked around for Connor. I noticed him from afar, still ripping some humans apart. His furr soaked in blood. A feeling came inside of me. I don't know what it is. But I know if I want to get out alive. I need to fight my own kind..

I limped over, the sounds around me fading away. I can only hear my heartbeat in my ears. Steady but firm. As it should be.

I quicken my pass. Another masked form charges at me and lungs with me with his sword. The adrenaline in my body gave me the stength back to swing the large sword in my hand. The metal clings against eachother. I swing. I swing again. I defend myself before lunging at the figure in front of it. My sword in the side of his neck. The resistance of the flesh in the sword I feld is weird but affective. I pulled it out and the body falls immidialty on the ground.

This is now also my war...

I felt my heart beating faster as I started to run. "Connor!", I yelled. As he just rips another body apart he looks at me. His face covered with red blood. "Where are the others?", I asked. "We lost eachother. Those dirty humans..." He kicks the lifeless body. "They killed him..." I paused. "They killed who?", I asked. As he didn't say anything I grew more worried. "Who did they kill?" I asked again and stood beside him. My hand still grabbed my side. "A friend", he said softly before he started running again into battle. I softened.

Who would he be talking about?

"(name!)", I look around startled. Fenrir is running up to me. "What the hell are you doing here? We need you get out of this battlefield!", he says. Before I can reply he transforms too in his wolf form. "We can't just leave!", I said. "Why do you care about them?", he asked. "They captured you, all of them." he says with a scoff. I looked determined.

"I don't know..", I said. "But they cared about me. Maybe I want to return that in some sort of.. way." I said a bit hesitant. "Well caring or not. You need to leave." He said almost a tone of desperation. "Please.."

I nodded. It's not like I can be of much use anyway. They'll make it. I know they will.

I climbed onto his back and the wolf started running. Trees flash by and the sounds get less and less. A feeling of guilt and sadness washes over me as it all starts to sink in. The light is gone, only the moon lits the space between the large trees as we run. I grabbed onto him tightly.

There is only one thing I knew for sure now. My normal life wouldn't return. Not unless I would forget...
