The Warrior Within

Castien

Chapter 9:Leo's perspective

I was pacing back and forth in my room, thinking about why Ares's fur turned Pure White. It's like yeah other wolves have pure whites fur, but the way Ares's was..it looked a lot like his. Oh god what have I gotten myself into?!

"Leo, can you come here for a minute?"

My dad was standing outside of my room and I couldn't help but growl as I made my way over to my "curtain". It gave me no sense of privacy whatsoever, only thing it covered was my face and chest, good thing my bed was on the other side of my room.

" What do you want Dad, I'm kinda busy contemplating."

He just stared at me like I had lost my mind using that word, what I wanna seem smart, is that a crime?

He just motioned for me and I did. But something was...odd..about the cave, there were less omegas and mates hanging around, no wait that's not true...there were NO omegas or mates hanging around, interesting, gonna have to go Sherlock Gnomes on this piece.

"Dad, where is everyone?"

I looked at my Dad but he didn't respond, he just kept walking in his tracts, but we weren't going towards his office...we were going towards the end of the cave.

"Dad, would you answer me?!"

I stepped in front of him and pushed him backwards. He caught his fall but didn't growl or anything, he just stared at me, with eyes that were...empty?

"Dad, Daddy what's wrong!?!"

I started shaking him over and over again, he wouldn't do anything but stand there..until a smile formed on this face did I stop.

"Dad...?"

I stepped back and stared at my dad like he was crazy, maybe this was one of his hysterical jokes? Right...

"You brought him to us Leo...thank you...my son."

All of a sudden I had a sharp pain in my stomach. My Dad had stabbed me with a silver coated knife. Hysterical enough for ya?

"Oh don't worry...he's in good hands."

He took the knife out and I fell to the ground, feeling my blood seeping out of the gash, why would my father do this? Was he even my father?!

I looked up at my father but my vision was getting so hazy I gave up, letting the darkness consume me.

"That's right Leo...go right on to nap land...Castien is waiting for you.."

And with that, I was out like a light.

Ares's perspective:

The moment kept running over and over again in my head, it just wouldn't go away. If I hadn't dropped my guard so low he wouldn't have bitten me, Augusteen is gonna be so goddamn mad.

I was running through the trees, trying to clear my train of thought by running, but it wasn't helping, it just made my headache bigger than it was.

I came to a holt and decided to just lay on on the ground and wait for time to fly by, so that I could tell Leo what I really was, and who I really am.

I huffed out a big puff of air and let my ears and tail lay flat, I wasn't feeling so robust anymore because of my run, so I needed this nap.

Just as I was about to wonder into Narnia, I heard paws thumping all on the ground. Holy shit there's a lot of em.

I stood up and started running in the opposite direction where sounds of the thumping was coming from. I ran as fast as possible but my energy was kinda trained from running.

All of a sudden I felt my heart sink a little and I had a sudden urge to go to Leo. Is he in trouble?

I shook off the feelings and continued to run, just yesterday we were having fun and laughing our asses off, but once he mated me...DAMMIT LEO...always doing dumb shit.

I kept running until the thumping stopped and started coming from the direction I was running in. I immediately stopped and ran backwards, but it was coming from that direction too.

I tried another way, there too, different way, THERE TOO! They were everywhere, I was trapped, enclosed, I wasn't going anywhere.

A circle of wolves surrounded me and my ears lay flat and my tail seized to be wagging.

They all came at me at the same time.

I tried running to one person and another but I would always get pushed onto the floor, so I just curled into a ball and let them attack me until my white fur was all red.

"Why hello there Ares...or should I say...James?"

Holy fuck, how do they know my name? Oh god..ugh..

They continued to nip at me where even a little bit of white fur was showing, until I was fully red with blood.

I blacked out, but not before seeing a huge Pure White wolf like me...the real Castien...
