The Blind Wolf

Chapter 3

Roxie's POV

As the rogue jumped toward us, mom jumped in front of me to protect me. She caught the wolf on his right fore leg in her powerful jaws, breaking the bone cleanly. He howled in pain as he dropped to the ground rolling out of the way of the other rogues.

'What do we do?! We can't let Momma get hurt because she is protecting me, we need to fight!!' I said hysterically to Lunar. I was scared I know they could smell my fear, which had to be coming off of me in waves.

'We must fight them!! Let's protect our pack and family!!' She yelled courageously.

Boosted by her courage, I smiled and looked at the wolves as I took a fighting stance and closed my eyes, waiting for the first one to attack. I sensed the first one coming at me from my right at the same time one came from behind me. I stayed there until he was almost on top of me, I pushed off the ground as hard as I could. I heard them hit each other and the sound of breaking bones from the collision filled the air.

'Roxie!! Get out of there!! You could be hurt or worse killed!!' My father yelled over our pack link.

'I can't let you and Mom get hurt either!' I yelled back at him, as I landed down on the two rogues heads heavily. They both whimpered and shifted back. I knew they wouldn't be a problem since they had passed out from the added pain of me landing on them.

'Sweetie, run straight to me!! We have gotten a clear path to run to safety!' Mom yelled at me. I ran straight for her not even daring to open my eyes knowing there would be carnage everywhere. I leaped on her back and held on as she ran into the woods.

6 hours later

I woke up to be back in my own bed. 'Hmm, must have fallin' asleep while Mom was running away.' I thought to myself.

I went to the bathroom to begin my normal morning routine. As I passed in front of the mirror, I stopped noticing something odd about my reflection. 'Lunar, what is that?!' I asked in horror.

'Its blood, young one, from last night battle.' She answered sadly.

I touched the dried blood on my face and looked at my legs and feet noticing that they were covered in blood. I started to cry uncontrollably as I ran in the bathroom and ripped my clothes off my body and threw them in the trash. I stepped in the shower turning the hot water on all the way to the max. I stayed under the water letting my skin soak it all in and become really red from the blistering water. Slowly I started to scrub all the blood off of me, making my red skin raw.

Mary's POV

"Those rogues were to organized for this to be just a random attack. Someone's giving orders which means they have formed a pack with an exiled Alpha as there leader. It's the only way this makes sense," Hal said to me, trying to make sense of it all.

I looked up as I heard Roxie get up out of bed. 'I should have gotten her cleaned up before I put her to bed this morning. Maybe I should check on her,' I thought to myself and to my wolf, Elaine.

'Our pup must know the troubles that are ahead of her. It pains me as well for her to go through this with a year,' she answered me, sadly.

"Mary? Are you all right, love?" Hal looked at me concerned.

"Sorry, I forgot to clean the blood off of her last night and she is probably freaking out right now." I answered.

He looked at me and nodded, "We both should have thought about that. We need to speak with her about the night of her birth. I am going to call for Ray and we are all gonna talk to her. I promise, baby."

I nodded back to him, "Go call him and I will get breakfast started for all of us and our baby girl." I smiled at him and kissed him softly on his lips before he got up and went to his office to call Ray. I got up and went to the kitchen to get breakfast started, hoping and praying that everything would be okay.
