Long Past Dawn

I run with the fastest of my ability. Branches snapping beneath my foot, leaves rustling. The beasts of the night knew better, making their existence hidden, crawling back to their places. For they knew, something more dangerous than them are set loose into their forest home tonight. Something that could end their lives with a snap of their fingers. Something that could drain them of their blood and leave their bodies to rot into the forest floor, sucking out the life from them in mere seconds.

I sense the town a few kilometers away. The cold wind causing my fur to fly wildly. My paws would leave a mark but fuck it. I would fight. They misunderstood my ability. I would make them known.

Just then, something sharp scratched through my haunches, making me howl in agony. My scream piercing through the silent night. I stumble, falling straight on my face. I need to shift. The predator behind me grabs my left ankle, pulling me closer, just the moment I shift back to my human form. I wince hard when my naked, wounded waist dragged through the rough floor. I tried kicking my foothills, struggling to stand on my feet when He grabbed both of my wrists, pinning them above my head and pushing his waist into me, making me immobilize. His strength shocked me to the core. What was He?

I silently prayed to the Moon Goddess, let me be up on my feet, and I'd show him. Just when I wriggle my body hard, a loud growl escaped his hard chest making me freeze. I stared up to his silver eyes, pupils completely dilated. Sliding his hand through my ribs, caressing my collarbones, he wrapped his hand around my neck. Staring deep into my eyes, he ordered, "Submit!"

My actions freezes completely, my body thums with silent vibrations, compiling to his orders without a second thought. Perplexed by my own action, I choose to say nothing.

Who is he? Why am I listening to him? Who could be more powerful than me?
