Chapter 35

Book:WYMOND, THE CURSED BEAST Published:2024-5-1

Arabella’s point of view.
I looked around at my pack members who were fighting desperately to protect each other, some seemed to tired but they doesn’t wanna give up -it’s only right if I stay back and help too.
“It seems like our help is needed here”
“Then what about your mom and your brother?” she asked.
“My mom’s from a warrior’s family and Arthur is a warrior in training, they can both take care of themselves” I gestured at our surrounding. “These people needs our help more” I said.
“You’re right” she agreed.
I winced seeing as the wolf has successfully pounced on a teenage girl and slashed her face with his claw, I rushed towards them and pushed the wolf off her.
“Get away from her, you bîtch!” I growled.
The wolf narrowed his eyes at me and barred his teeth at me as if to scare me away, but I growled at him in return -Amy doesn’t like being threatened.
I dropped the little girl I was carrying, tilted my head slightly and faced the teenage girl -I pushed the little girl towards her.
“Quick, gather as much people as you can and take them to the safehouse” I turned back to the wolf who’s getting set to pounce on me. “We’ll handle this” I said.
The wolf growled at me warningly, I balled my fist and got in a fighting stance.
I studied the wolf as he was drawing his paws on the ground and getting ready to pounce on me, I smirked when an idea popped in my head.
“Do you need help?” Renee asked, nodding at the wolf.
“Nope, I can handle him” I looked at the wolf straight in his eyes. “He’s just a baby wolf” I said to anger him and that did the job.
He growled and charged at me with great speed, my fingers quickly transformed into claws, I ducked letting him fly past me with my hand reaching forward and slashed his stomach -leaving a very deep wound on him.
He fell down and howled in pain as blood started gushing from his wound, he tried to get on his feet but couldn’t.
“Wow, Ara, that was amazing” she high-five me. “You took him down with just one hit!”
“Of course, it’s nothing” I said proudly.
But a scream escaped my mouth when I felt a wolf’s teeth on my right leg, I tried to kick him off but couldn’t.
Renee reached for a dagger in her pocket and stabbed the wolf on his right eye, the wolf removed his teeth from my leg and howled painfully.
I angrily kicked him on his stomach and he flew almost across the street. I hissed as blood started gushing from the wound.
“Are you ok?” she asked.
“Yeah” I answered.
I looked around and shuddered, most of the bodies laying on the ground are my pack members, we’re getting fewer with each passing minute and their blood are slowly flooding the place.
How come these wolves are stronger than us? Where are our pack warriors? Shouldn’t some of them stay back and protect the weaker wolves?.
Someone suddenly bumped into me and fell down, I looked down and realized it’s a very old man, he cowered away when he met my eyes -he must be thinking I’m from the attacking pack.
“Don-don’t kill me” he begged weakly in a very frightened voice.
Anger shot through my veins and my urge of staying back to fight increased, I wanted to help the old man up and take him to a safe place but a voice stopped me.
“Old man, you think this little girl is gonna save you?” A barbaric male voice laughed.
I raised my head up and take a look at the barbarian, he seemed to be in his thirties and he’s got a very big scary scar a little bit above left eyebrow.
From his head to his toes are covered in blood, the blood of my pack members and mere looking at him is angering me even more.
“Little girl” the barbarian called me, Renee stepped forward as if to protect me but I stopped her.
His eyes trailed my body, access every bit and a satisfying smirk appeared on his face. He nodded to himself.
“I like you, I can spare you if you deliver that man to me and come with me” he said.
“Oh?” I nodded. “That’s a very good idea because it seems like I like you too” I said.
Renee frowned at me, she wanted to say something but I didn’t give her a chance to.
“Really?” he chuckled. “You’re a smart girl” he laughed.
His words made an idea pop in my head and I smirked.
“Oh, you have no idea how smart I am” I smiled.
I walked closer to him, I reached for his collar and pulled him down, making him bend slightly.
Looking straight in his eyes, I smiled at him seductively.
“I can go anywhere with you but on two conditions.. ”
I unbutton the first two buttons on his shirt and touched his bare chest, trailing my fingers softly with a smirk.
“.. and you mustn’t say no, unless you’re a coward” I said.
He scoffed.
“I’m not a coward, my word is my dignity” he boasted.
“Does that mean I have your word? You’ll do whatever I want to do?” I asked.
“Of course” he said.
From the corner of my eye, I saw a brown wolf charging towards us and my smirk widened -this is a golden opportunity to make my plan perfect.
I purposely position my arm in a place where the wolf’s paws would easily scratch it, then signaled Renee to stay back.
It’s time to play damsel in distress, it’s gonna make him think I’m a weak wolf and lower his guard.
“Ouch!” I screamed as the wolf’s right paw scratched my arm.
The barbarian quickly slashed the wolf’s neck with his claws and the wolf fell dead instantly, I winced mentally -what a cruel man, he doesn’t even hesitate since the wolf was also from his pack.
“You killed him?” I feigned a concerned voice.
“Don’t worry about him, tell me what your two conditions are” he said.
The fight was still going on around us.
“Alright, first…”
I let my eyes glance around and he did the same too.
“I want you to stop your warriors from fighting my pack members, they’ve done enough damage to my pack” I said.
He frowned at my request and shook his head.
“No” he denied my request straight up. “We’re here to bring this pack down and we must do that!” he said firmly.
I sighed dramatically loud.
“Someone just said his words are his dignity” I sighed again. “I guess there aren’t any dignity left in him now”
His frown deepen and he took in deep breaths.
“Fine!” he said, he whistled and his warriors stopped fighting immediately.
They all rushed towards him and gathered around in a minute, some in their wolf’s form and others in human form.
“What is your second condition?” he asked.
“You will let you bring down my pack and take me with you to be your slave or whatever you want me to be”
He grinned when I said that and licked his lips, Amy gagged in my head which almost made me laugh.
“But only if you and your men can beat me!” I emphasized on ‘me’ to let him know I mean business.
He stared at me briefly and burst into laughter.
“You?” he asked.
I nodded.
“Only you against me and my warriors?” he asked.
*He’s underestimating us* Amy growled as she’s getting impatient to take control.
*Calm down* I told her.
“Little girl, it’s not too late to change your mind” he advised me.
Humph, I should be the one advising you buddy -Amy is not to be trifled with.
“Are you scared?”
“Cut the crap and fight!”
He laughed.
“Alright, I’ll go easy on you, I’ll let my men take you one at a time” he said, but I shook my head.
“No” I looked in his eyes. “I want everyone in their wolf’s form and come at me at once!”
Renee rushed forward and pulled me back.
“What are you doing? Can you handle all of them? You need my help?”
“I’ll be fine” I told her.
“But Wymond won’t spare me if you get hurt, just leave them to me and I’ll finish them up in ten minutes” she said.
I chuckled.
“I’ll finish them in five minutes!” I told her, even though I don’t know if that’s true -i’m kinda scared inside.
I gently pushed her aside, I squatted to the old man’s level and held his hand.
“Stay with my friend, she’ll protect you” I told him, he nodded and rushed towards Renee.
I straightened up and faced Mr barbarian.
“Are you ready?” I asked him.
“Oh, we’re ever ready” he answered.
His clothes ripped into pieces as he transformer into his wolf’s form, his warriors that were in their human form quickly transformed.
He barred his teeth at me, showing his canines as if he’s trying to scare me off -it’s time to test wether I have a warrior’s blood flowing in my vein.
He and his warriors were circling me, urging me to transform too.
I took a deep breath.
*Amy, our whole pack’s safety is depending on you now* I told Amy.
*Fret not, your girl’s got this*
I closed my eyes and let Amy take control, my clothes ripped into pieces as I transformed and stood on all fours.
The barbarian narrowed his eyes when he saw Amy, I even saw something like fear flashed across his eyes.
He growled and his warriors got the cue, they all pounced at me at once and I withdrew, letting Amy be in total control.
★★★★★
Amy’s point of view.
Arabella cowardly withdrew when the smelly barbarian and his warriors charged at us, I let anger cloud my vision and control my actions.
I’m not good at fighting but I’m not a coward, I scratched, bite and slash randomly but I made sure I bite or slash their dangerous parts.
I howled painfully when a wolf slashed my back, I faced the wolf and pounced on it.
My teeth went straight to his neck and I pulled him away from the others, I ran a few meters away from them and they didn’t noticed because they pressed a wolf similar to me on the ground -they thought it’s me.
I let my teeth sink in his neck as deep as I could, he was scratching my face and slashing my back but I didn’t let go of his neck -until he bled to death, then I let go and his body fell on the ground.
That’s when the others noticed the trick I played, they all charged at me again and I continued biting and slashing randomly again.
I even bite off a wolf’s dîck, he fell down instantly and died -this is gonna be a long and tiring fight.
★★★★★
After what felt like hours of fighting, I was even starting to get tired, I’m feeling sore all over my body because I have been badly injured.
But our eyes were suddenly stabbed by the flash of a very bright light.
The barbarian and his remaining few warriors suddenly fell down, I squinted my eyes and looked towards the light.
My jaw dropped when I saw Wymond walking towards me, I released a wolfy grin and breathe in relief.
*He came*
He rushed to me and swooped me in his arms, I whimpered loudly as my wounds were hurting.
“Why did you fight? Why didn’t you go to the safehouse?” He queried me.
My eyelids twitched sleepily, before I knew it, I closed my eyes and… darkness.
