Prophecy in the Eye of the Wolf

Chapter Thirty

My heart was beating wildly in my chest as I ran through the woods with Mason right on my heels. I was constantly shaking my head, trying to rid my mind of the horrifying visions.

Suddenly, my head whipped up, my mind finally focusing again, as I heard growling and snarling. I took a deep breath, and that stench hit my nose. It was so familiar I could never mistake it. I growled and sped up.

I skidded to a stop as I emerged into a large clearing. The first thing I noticed was the large group of werewolves facing off against a group of hybrids. My eyes drifted away from them until they found the still forms on the ground. I gasped at the sight of the bloody man and woman sprawled across the ground. They were dead.

I stared at the bodies, absolutely horrified, when a deep voice behind me startled me. "We had to kill them or they were going to change." I looked back up at Alpha Drake. He frowned sadly down at the two lifeless members of his pack.

So they had been attacked. But the hybrids tried to change other werewolves so they would automatically join them, but it almost looked like they had mauled these two. But I knew they hadn't killed them. Our pack were the ones who killed them so they wouldn't turn. It's happened a few times before but never innocent pack members, only pack warriors.

I saw a blur out of the corner of my eye. I turned just in time to see Abi disappearing into the trees. She had joined us with Alex and Arial just mere moments after we had arrived in the clearing.

I jumped slightly as Mason laid his hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him, but he wasn't looking at me. He was looking at the still forms on the ground. His icy eyes were blazing, and his face was stern and angry.

As I looked back and forth between Mason and the two dead werewolves, my anger starting to grow by the second. My skin burned to shift, a growl rose up in my throat, and my blood pounded in my ears.

I released my growl and took a step forward. I stood up tall as I walked over to the line of werewolves. A few split down the middle to let me stand right in front. I heard more growls as Mason came to stand on my left and Alpha Drake beside him. Alex came forward as well with Ari by his side. We stood together, side-by-side, clenched fists and all.

Suddenly, Abi reappeared from the trees and came to stand between Alex and I. But when I looked at her, my eyes revealed that smallest glint of fear and recognition that I had seen before. This was my vision.

I shook my head to clear it, trying to focus on what was going on at this moment. Alpha Drake was growling, challenging the hybrids. "You attacked three members of my pack. I will not stand for this!" He snarled.

Three? But I thought there were only two...Then I remembered another part of my vision. A little girl with black hair and dark brown eyes wearing tattered clothes, and she was covered in cuts and scratches. She had been crying and staggered around helplessly through the woods until a familiar blond haired girl had carried her to safety. That's where Abi had just been. That little girl had been attacked, too. So the man and woman on the ground must have been...

The rage inside of me grew even more. A poor, innocent little girl had just lost her parents! And they were tortured right in front of her! Luckily, she must have not been bitten, so the pack didn't have to kill her. But still, her parents...

"The time is coming," one of the hybrids said in a raspy voice. "Soon, you will all fall and join us, becoming like us one-by-one."

We growled at his words. "We will never fall to the likes of you. We would rather die!" Alpha Drake snarled.

The hybrids laughed in a way that made them seem insane (which they probably were). "We'll see about that," the raspy-voiced hybrid chuckled.

Suddenly, it began. The hybrids leapt at us as we leaped at them, shifting in the air if we hadn't already. I crashed into one of the hybrids and wrestled her to the ground. The hybrid tried to reach up and bite me as I clawed her stomach.
