Death Wolf Saga
Death Wolf Chapter 42

Daniel pov

I walk out of the tent to see the pack members surrounding the area. Their eyes lowering as soon as they see me.

But I had listened to their talks already.

“Why is that bitc* in Sir Daniel’s tent?”

“What is a she wolf doing in our territory?”

“Did Sir Daniel kept her as his slave?”

“Why is he favouring her?”

I ignore their words to only turn around to the guards that stood outside the entrance.

“Make sure she doesn’t leave and nor does anyone enters this tent without my permission.”

“Yes Sir”

Nodding I look back at her one last time to make my way towards Ray’s tent.

As soon as I enter, I see him sitting gulping alcohol. His eyes look up at me but he doesn’t say anything.

Lowering them again to continue drinking.

“I need a valid reason for what happened earlier.”

I say folding my arms to only have him scoffs, getting up to ignore me. My anger surging.

“Come on brother. If you wanted to fuc* that bitch first. You could have told me directly.”

Looking back into my eyes,he speaks in mockery.

“There was no need to disrespect me in front of our own people for that slu*”

This…this is what I hate about him more than anything. I understand our childhood hasn’t been easy but despite everything , I never disrespect women and consider them as toys.

He slept with women countlessly who throw themselves at him. I thought he stopped it after I nearly threatened him but it seems he was still his old self.

Spoilt, disrespectful and undeserving.

“So you still haven’t changed huh?”

“I warned you Ray to not have such useless parties in our hunter lands. I asked you not treat women like they are objects.”

“I f*****g asked you to not be like our dad dammit!”

Ray clenches his fist stepping closer to me.

“I don’t treat women like that anymore. But that girl? She is a she wolf! She is a werewolf bitch and you expect me to what. Respect her?”

“She is a women first Ray. Remember it. Forcing a women, binding her in shackles and getting entertainment out of it is sick . I swear if you wouldn’t have been my brother, I would have thrown you out of this clan!”

Ray chuckles. Moving back from me.

“Now I get it. You like that bitc*. Don’t you?”

“Oh don’t tell me her beautiful face has made you forget your mission to destroy the werewolves.”

I close my eyes. I can’t even trust my own brother. I was going to tell him who she is but I stop myself.

It’s no use.

Even he can’t be trusted. He may use her in worst ways for his selfish reasons.

Even worst then me.

Stepping closer, he raises his brows at me. To only place his hand on my shoulder.

“What’s it brother? Why did you save that bitc*? Let me know when you get bored of her okay?”

I have to lie. I have to do this. Looking back at him ,I answer back with coldness.

“Don’t you even dare to touch her Ray.!”

He chuckles again, taking my threat casually.

“Oh do I see possessiveness? You are smitten by a shewolf brother? Damn I underestimated that girl.”

Grabbing his collar,I pull him to me. Almost seething at him.

“Stop talking like that about her Ray. I f*****g warn you.”

He raises his brow, to only smirk at me.

“Why? What is she for you that you scold and humiliate your own brother for her?”

“Huh?”

And that’s when I did it. Not thinking about anything else. Leaving his collar, I decide to say the biggest lie of my life, to save her.

“I select her to be my chosen. Happy?”

He stills, looking at me in shock to only smile to himself.

“You are joking brother , it can-“

“It is ! I choose her to my mate and now if anyone f*****g dares to even lay a finger on her.”

“Trust me Ray, I will personally make sure to tear them limb by limb from their body.”

He goes silent, not able to say anything after that. While I look at him one last time to turn around and leave.

To be only interrupted by his voice, making me stop.

“You are going to regret it big time brother. Those wolves cannot be trusted and that shewolf? Never!”

I clench my fist before replying, looking at him over my shoulder.

“I can do anything to save her Ray. And it will be better if you don’t come in my way.”

….

I walk back to the tent to not see what I expected. The clan members were surrounding the tent, while few were able to harm the guards and enter inside.

I curse, pushing aside everyone to only freeze when I see the scene in front of me.

Thora was held by some women in a corner, her hair in their grasp as they shook her violently. While few dared to even pull her clothes and slap her. Men surrounding the scene from all the sides, encouraging them to hurt her more.

“Please… please…”

Her silent cries make me clench my fist as I scream at everyone, make them turn around to look at me.

“Who the f**k allowed you all to enter!”

The people of my clan look at me with accusing ages.

As I stand in front of the girl, blocking her from their view.

“Move the fuc* back women! If you touch her again I swear you have one less limb in your body”

The women immediately leave her, making her slide down the wall to fall on the ground. Her breathing heavy ,as I hear her sobs in the background.

“Sir Daniel you are betraying our clan by keeping this girl here”

One of the men in the crowd dared to say. To only have others join him. Their eyes burning in hate,as they stared at her.

“Yes! She is our enemy! How can you bring her here!”

“Her kind killed our families..we will not leave her!”

The person comes forward to hurt her, to only have me pull him back from his arm. Pushing him back towards the crowd.

Making gasps to leave their lips.

“Her kind killed them. She didn’t! She is under my protection now and I dare you to take another step towards her!”

They all look at each other, surprised at my declaration.

To only have them move aside as one of the elders of the hunters clan walks in…a stick in her hands and tattooes lined on her body.

Lara..a 90 years old lady.

That’s her name. And she holds the most eldest power in our clan. Her decision is the ultimatum . No one can dare deny her.

Everyone bows and I bow as well.

To only find her eyes only fixed at Thora.

“Step aside boy”

She says , trying to look closer at Thora, while I block her. She will know if she sees Thora’s mark and I can’t let that happen.

“Greetings elder Lara but I can’t.”

Lara stares into my eyes, to look back at Thora. Silence stretching between us untill she finally sighs.

“Do you love the girl?”

I have to do this. Come on Daniel. You are doing this to keep her alive.

“Yes I do.”

Gasps are heard around me, but I do not care. I meant what I said earlier…I can do anything to keep her safe… including this.

“Hmm I see….you are the leader of the hunters clan boy, yet you dare to love a she wolf?”

“I do.”

I can feel Thora’s heated stare on my back but I don’t turn around.

“You are being stupid boy. This she wolf can not be accepted here! Any female who is not chosen cannot stay here and a she wolf like her never!”

I nod. Turning around to look at Thora and pull her in front.She doesn’t resist, too shaken up by the earlier events.

“Fine. This is the problem right?”

Her teary eyes look at me as I hold her hand in my hands and turn around to look at everyone.

“I Daniel King choose Thora to be my chosen from this day hence.”

Gasps are heard around, but I don’t stop. I have to do this.

“I declare her to be my wife and any f*****g person who even dares to touch her? Will be taken to hell by me”

I find her go still next to me, her body trembling with the cold. Removing my jacket and covering her with it , I pull her to my chest.

Looking back at everyone with defiance.

They seemed to be lost at words. Good, this was my only resort now and I don’t regret it one bit.

Lara bows at us, to only turn around and leave. It was evident, she didn’t liked my decision a bit.

But she had no choice.

They all know no one can lead hunters better than me. I am their only option and no matter what, they can’t afford to loose me.

Making them agree to my decision.

“Brother! What the hell are you doing?”

Ray comes rushing in. Not able to believe I finally did it.

To only have me answer back, looking everyone in the eye.

“She is your leaders chosen now. Anyone who doesn’t agree with me, is free to leave the hunters clan.”

Silence.

Everyone slowly started leaving my tent and I breathe heavily.

Thank god!

Ray gives me a dissapointed look and leaves. While I loosen my grip on Thora.

We both were finally left alone and I pull back from her, lowering my eyes.

Sh**! I didn’t even ask her permission. It happened so suddenly.

“Are you fine?”

I ask as she doesn’t say anything. Her teary eyes looking up at me, as she whispers lowly surprising me.

“Why….why are you doing this…why are you going against your own people to save me?”

” What do you want from me Daniel?”

And I was at loss of words. Not knowing how to lie to her.

Those teary brown eyes, looking into my soul as I for the first time felt hatred for myself.
