"And who are you? The Argents daughter has no ranking, you are not worthy of being heard." The ice cold Elder wolf tells me in that menacing voice just sizzling with authority and power.
"You will hear me, I am the only thing that can save you." I declare with truth, the sword at my fingertips proving my honesty.
"YOU are the only thing that will get us all killed. We kill you..humanity as we know it will survive. You were a fool to come here." The man looks at me with nothing in his eyes, his decision already made. None question him, because they know he's right.
I let out a loud chuckle, tilting my head back as I do.
"Kill me and you won't stop him. It may take him a year, ten years even, but he will find another way to activate the portal. And when he does, he will bring death to this world like you have never seen." I sneer the words at the wolves glaring down at me. Like I am the one who thinks highly of myself, when they themselves think they're purity.
"And you have?" The woman scoffs at my words, repulsed to even be in the same room as me. To breath the same air. Even she who sentenced her sister to die looks down on me.
"He is my father, what do you think?" I snidely remark with a tone of utter bitterness and loathing.
The woman leans forwards in her chair, her glare hard and her expression cold. One of a being who no longer cares for who lives and who dies when they step out of line.
"His blood runs through your veins. You are his experiment. He raised you to be just like him, a soulless monster without a care for the innocent lives taken. What I think, is that you came here to save yourself." She declares harshly.
I grind my teeth at her words. A part of me knows the words she speaks are correct.
I am his experiment. His Demon wolf. I will kill whenever I feel threatened, I will take an innocent life. I will not show Mercy, and the worst part of all of that..is that I feel NOTHING as I take a life that isn't my own, a pure one.
