Death Wolf Saga
Death Wolf Chapter 34

The sounds of swords clashing is heard as bodies fall down on the royal grounds dead. Colour red surrounding them as screams accompanied the brutal slashes.

“Run Volkan! Go and save father!”

Volkan’s brother Jordan screams, while fighting the hunters who surrounded the royal estate. Volkan nods, looking back at the big castle he called home.

Changing into his wolf form Volkan runs towards the castle, dodging and killing the human hunters on his way. To only have his paws stop as he sees a big fire lighting up in the right towers of the estate. The very place where there rooms were located.

Fear enters his insides, and he ran like a mad man. Brutally ripping off the heads of those who interrupted his path. B***d running down his muzzle as he roars loudly.

He was just few meters away from the entrance…he won’t let these hunters win…he won’t.

But it was too late already….he was late in saving them.

A loud blast is heard and he is thrown back by its force to hit a tree behind. His wolf form groaning with his back burned by the impact.

Struggling to life up himself, he looks back at his destination and his world stops right there

The entire castle is blown up by it….the dome’s falling down ,walls and glasses shattering like his entire family who was inside it. Huge flames covering the place , dark smoke clouds enveloping the entire forest.

No! This can’t be true! No…they all can’t die.

It was not that easy…his father was the Werewolf King…he can’t die so easily in hand of these human hunters!

His thoughts are interrupted by a loud roar behind him and he turns around to look at the way he came from.

Jordan?

It was a cry of help….no…no…they can’t kill him aswell. Returning his howl with a deep roar of his own. He rushes back to save his elder brother.

Few minutes into the forest that was covered in dark smoke clouds. He reaches the place to have the only hope inside him to die.

“Dadddyyyyyyyy!”

Elora’s scream echoes in the forest as he sees, Jordan covering Elora. The little 2 year old covered in b***d and her frame shuddering as Jordan covered her. Getting the knife rooted in his heart, in order to save his child. To have him fall on top of her.

The hunters surrounding them, as a man stands out the most.

His frame huge and face rugged. With hands behind his back, he casually stares at the events that unfold.

Jordan’s eyes were fixed at Volkan’s helpless ones, as he mouths his last words to him.

Please save her

To only have him go still and that’s when Volkan roars a deep cry of agony , that shook the very floor of the forest. The tear drops falling from his brothers still eyes, breaking him completely.

Making him go berserk like a mad wolf.

Tearing apart the hunters that came towards him, he heaped a pile of dead bodies seeing nothing except red. Managing to reach the crying child, he shifts and picks up the two year old in his arms.

Screaming at the hunters coming toward him with bows and swords.

To only hear a voice that made everyone go still.

“Stop”

Just one command and all the hunters bow down. And that’s when Volkan’s grey eyes met the dark black ones of the man behind everything.

Daniel Black

The leader of Hunters stood in front of him. His face emotionless, not caring of the bloodshed of the innocents he just committed in name of ending the werewolf specie, which according to the humans were heartless beasts that are to be eliminated at all cost.

To maintain peace in the human world.

“Why…why are you doing this you bast****!”

Volkan screams, unable to stop himself. To only have Daniel just stare at him.

“What…what have we even done to you….why are you killing innocents?”

The man grits his teeth. His next words surprising.

“Innocents? You all werewolves are monsters! From the kid in your arms, you….to your father…to every being that can f*****g shift? Is a monster!”

“Werewolves are entering human world… killing innocent humans…. eliminating villages! And what do you expect us to do? Sit and enjoy the show!”

“They are rogues! Rogues go around killing your specie! A pack wolf would never hurt a human!”

“Lie! You all are the same! And I will make sure to eliminate each and every one of you from the very face of this world!”

“I will end the very f*****g existence you gruesome creatures ! You all were a mistake and nothing else!”

The man breathes heavily, stepping closer to Volkan. Who tightens his grip on the crying Elora in his hands. Rubbing circles on her back, trying to stop her tears. Which was impossible as her innocent eyes were fixed at the bloody dead form of her father.

“Moon goddess created us. Just like your God created you. And we are not a mistake.”

“I will save my specie just like you are saving yours. And trust me, if I survive this night. You will regret not killing me with my family.”

Their eyes clash, as the flames surround them from behind. The forest fire spreading.

Using his two fingers, Daniel motions his army. As they slowly start approaching him. Cornering him between the fire flames behind and the men with swords in the front.

“You will have to die Volkan. Beasts like you never deserved to live on this earth.”

Placing his free hand behind Elora, he retorts back. Moving back towards the fire. Making the hunters to stop and their eyes to widen.

“You are no one to decide what I deserve hunter.”

“But remember the history”

.

.

.

“It is always the survival of the fittest.”

Daniel clenches his fist,his eyes darkening further as he commands his army.

“Attack!”

And that’s when Volkan turns around, looking at the huge flames of red in front of him. Taking a deep breath, he whispers in the child’s Ear.

“Hold on to me Elora. Don’t leave no matter what”

The child nods, looking back at the flames. And Volkan knew, this was the last and only way of survival.

Sprinting towards the amber flames, he held Elora in front. Her arms tightly coiled around his next and cheek pressed to his chest as he leaps up, using all the strength in his legs, to shift mid air. Letting his wolf form to jump over the huge flames, with the child held tightly in his embrace.

……

I wake up from the dream , with sweat running down my forehead. Looking around to find Elora, to only see her asleep in my arms.

I let out a sigh of relief, looking at the clock to see it was 5:30 in the morning

Fuc*! I am so messed up!

I clean the sweat with my sleeve to only find my shirt wet with it. Since how long have I been dreaming?

Running my fingers on Elora’s soft curls, I let myself calm down. The events of the previous day rewinding and I k**s her forehead.

The very thought of loosing her kills me.

Her last words before she went to sleep , rooted in my mind.

“What happened El? Why did you faint?”

“I…saw him uncle…the man…the man that killed daddy….”

“Did he hurt you?”

“No…daddy I was too scared…I fainted seeing him…”

“Will he kill us too uncle?”

I press her to my chest. Promising her.

“No El. Till I am here. He won’t even be able to touch you again.”

“Promise?”

“Promise”

As a child she has already suffered alot. . She didn’t deserve any of this. And I can do anything to keep her safe

I know she needs a motherly figure in his life.

I try to be a father, which I know I am failing miserably with all the duties and workload. But a mother, is a must….I can never be her no matter how much I try.

Charlotte does a shitty job in it.

She hates kids and maybe sometimes I question my decisions.

Charlotte is strong, she holds the title well. No one dares to challenge her for the position of the werewolf Queen and this gives my Kingdom stability.

But for me and Elora

I should have chosen someone that could understand me…support me….someone that made me feel complete……someone who could give Elora the love of a mother……That could truly take care of her like her own child and was not greedy of the name and fame.

And that’s when my brain answers on its own.

Someone like Thora

I close my eyes, clenching my fist. It’s like the girl runs in my b***d. I f*****g can’t get her out of my mind.

I have tried so much to hate her and I have come so far, with our bond at the very verge of breaking.

But the very last threat connecting us? It’s not cutting… it’s being persistent…she is being adamant.

The image of her being tied in my basement and being treated as prisoner, makes an uneasiness to settle in my chest.

Her tears, hurt me.

Her words, hurt me worse.

I can forgive her if she only admits! I can forgive her for betraying my pack and colluding with those hunters , but she doesn’t admit!

Daniel is determined to end our specie.

And he is searching for the prophesied.

I can understand his trick of using a innocent girl like Thora to enter my pack and use her to get information on our bases, packs and next plans.

I already knew someone was leaking our inside information.

But to be honest, I never thought the person to be her.

I somehow trusted her.

Dammit! I have been screwed!

The scent, the image of him leaning in closer to k**s her neck, jolting me. I know it was me who told her to go and find another man and forget me.

But him?

That bastard?

The girl is really desperate and gullible. She trusts whichever man comes , offering her roses and doing sweet talk with her.

She thinks he loves her?

If only she knew he was using her and once he has destroyed me, he plans to eliminate her.

Getting up, and letting Elora sleep. I exit the room. Going back towards the basement.

It’s time to visit her.

And this time, I will make sure she spills all the secrets.

Willingly or forcefully.
