Her Pride

The Wolf

I watch as she leaves the room. I listen for we footsteps walking down the hall and I wait patiently before I jump from my bed and march down the stairs.

I hear a group of people chatting in the living room as I pass it on my way outside. A group of heavy footsteps follow me down the hall. I hear a few whistles and shouts from behind me.

"Hey baby" one of them says as he catches up to me. I stop and glare at him. He pushes his hand through his fair blond hair and winks his frosted blue eye.

"Quinn, I'm not your 'baby' please stop calling me that before I make you" I threaten. I turn and walk away and feel triumphant as his group of friends laugh at his rejection.

"You can't make me do anything baby" he tries again as he jogs beside me "if I want something I get it and noting will stop me" he whispers the last part in my ear. I stop dead in my tracks. This kid has continuously come on to me since I arrived a few weeks ago and it's starting to bother me. Normally I just brush it off but this is too far.

"Well not this time assfuck. I am not your prize to claim and I will rip off your hand if you dare touch me" I say as I open the door and walk out. I continue walking towards the forest. I hear the door open and close again and someone grabs my shoulder and turns me around.

"Hey you can't go in there alone remember? It's against the Alpha's command so let me go with you" Quinn says. I pull my shoulder out of his grip and step back as I try to hold in my anger.

"I would rather die alone then go in the forest with you" I say with my voice full of venom. He steps forward and grabs both of my shoulders and pulls me closer to him.

"You will not die alone because I am going with you and I will claim you in that forest" he says possessively and forces his lips upon mine. I pull back and he pulls me closer so I can't get away. His hand slides up my shirt.

I reach down and pull my atheme from my boot am press it against his side. He screams in pain and let's me go. I grab his wrist and pull it behind his back.

I kick his knee causing him to collapse onto his back. I jump on top of him and press the knife to his neck.

"Don't ever touch me again or I will kill you. I am not your 'baby' and I am not your prize to claim so back off or lose your dick along with your hands, eyes, toes, ears and soul" I yell in his face. I stand up and disappear into the forest.

Even though I was scared out of here earlier it is still my place to relax so I will continue to enter the forest alone. I swing my knife around as I walk and relax. I come to river and kneel in front of it. I place my knife beside me and cup my hands. I fill my hands with the ice cold water. I bring my hands to my mouth and drink my fill. I let out a sigh as I feel the cold water slide down my throat.

I pick up my knife and follow the river upwards away from the house. I let the smile play upon my lips as I feel free at last. I twirl and spin and skip around in and out of the clear river.

It has been forever since I have felt this free in the forest. As I run I feel all of my problems disappear and melt away to nothing.

I chase anything that moves through the underbrush and follow it around. I spot a pretty yellow butterfly resting on a white daisy at the foot of a tree. I slowly creep closer to the butterfly. I get ready to pounce when it suddenly flaps it's wings and flies through the forest. I race after it in hopes of catching it. It floats into a large clearing filled with more butterflies and flowers everywhere.

"It's beautiful" I whisper to myself as I step into the tall grass and flowers. As I go I pick out daises, golden rod and a few other wildflowers that would look very nice in a vase.
