Daughter of Heaven and Earth

24

   Hours have passed since the fighting has started and it seems like there will be no end to this fighting any time soon. My muscles have started getting weary and I'm feeling drained. Using my power to move wolves is taking a huge toll on me but if it means savings a few lifes then it'll be worth it. 

   The leader of the rogues hasn't shown his face yet and if he has the coward has decided to stay unidentified. A black wolf snarled at me then jumped at me. I met him head on, letting him really feel the impact of my power. We crashed to the ground in a flurry of teeth and claws. Both of us wanting the upper hand and I grin when i finally get it. The wolf was on his back my hand at his throat as he growls and thrashes against my hold. I rip into his underside, my claws slicing his skin like butter. He yelps and still growls as I grab a hold of his heart and crush it. He lets out a whimper and a gurgle then stops moving. I let go and stand stand, my breathing erratic. I unfortunatly I let my guard down for one second too long as a wolf tackles me to the ground. Out of habit I attack until I realize that it's Caleb. He's standing over me, his shackles raised as he stares at something behind me. I turn under him and look. 

   From a distance the biggest damn wolf i've ever seen stares at the both of us his yellow eyes scrutinizing us. Suddenly he starts moving towards us in determined steps until a couple our wolves intercept him growling at him to stay put. He ignores them as his eyes stay fixed on us. Other wolves attack the ones growling at him and a fight ensues infront of him blocking his path to us. He lets out a vicious growl and tears into the wolves figthing. Caleb and I watch in horror as he rips into his own wolves. "He's the leader, we take him out we end this." Caleb moves his head closer to me and looks at me for a brief second. A second was all it took for the wolf to cut the distance between us and pounce. His claws were mere inches from Caleb's throat before I push Caleb off with as much force as I can, ignoring my body's protest. Caleb flies backwards and the wolfs claws catch my right arm. Shredding my arms like if it was nothing but paper. The pain making me scream out in pain. My blood drips out and the wolf goes for my throat and I bring my knee up leaning away. My knee connects with his muzzle and it gives me the chance to roll away from him. 

   My right arm aches and breathing has gotten harder to do. My legs feel like jelly and I'm finding hard to stay on my feet. I move towards Caleb and give him a quick once over to make sure he didn't get serisuoursly hurt. He shakes his muzzle and nudges my left elbow letting me know he's good. My focus goes back to the wolf whos shifted and is very naked. He's a big burly man his body is marred by scar everywhere. His eyes look crazed and he has a smile on his face, his yellow teeth on full display. His dark hair is messy and he looks like he hasn't shaved in weeks. 

   "I've finally found you! The girl who smells of lemon and lavender! Jeremiah did a great job!" I snarl at him and before I can move Caleb has beat me to it as he rushed forward his canines aching for this bastards blood. "I didn't come to talk to you!" He sidesteps Caleb's wolf and gives him a switch kick that cracks something. I glare at this man and he turns to face me again with a sigh. The fighting around us is tuned out by the blood pounding in my ears. "I came looking for you! Leave your pathetic mate and come with me! The moon goddess has shown me our future. With you at my side we'll be unstoppable!" My eyes widen and I reel back in disgust. My mother started this? What did she show him? One look into his crazed eyes made me snarl. Lives were lost because of this lunatic. 

  I run to him and throw punches, kicks, claw swipes, anything that I could to kill him but he evaded everything. Of course he's quicker than me. I've been fighting for hours while he's been cowarding behind his men. "You coward! You let these people fight your battles while you hide in the shadows." He grins at me a sickly and I move back towards Caleb who hasn't moved. I back until I feel his presence and nudge him gently. He doesn't respond and I feel my stomach drop with worry, I can't go on the offensive and protect him. I steal a side ways glance at him and see his chest rising up and down but he's shifted back into human. I glare at the man and grit my teeth. "Your mate cannot protect you. He's too weak for you but me? I can protect you, I can fight along side you. I know if you really wanted to you could easily beat all my men. The moon godess told me so." The more this man talks the more unhindged he sounds. It gives me the creeps having him look at me, let alone know that he's after me and not Kennedy. " I thought you were after the alpha's mate?" His head turns so aggresively I thought he mightve broken his own neck. "Are you not this pathetic mans mate?"
