“Jade, I give you permission to challenge Sabrina to the death.” Xander said and Jade’s mouth hung open as she stared at Xander.
Athena was happy. She will finally get to teach that girl never to threaten Adrastos again.
“Once Myrtle wakes up, you will both fight her. Since you both want to cause her harm. There is no submission. You asked for this challenge, I’m giving it to you. ” Xander said to Jade. Then turned to look at the rest of us,
“As a pack, we will all watch this challenge. Like I said to Jade, there will be no submission. It is to the death. Now, to the field!” Xander said and people started walking out.
I gave my son to Dorothy as we entered the apartment. I needed to change first before going in for the fight.
“Sabrina, can I ask?” Dorothy said as she was standing in my room.
I nodded.
“How did you do that thing with my mind? Are you half witch and half wolf?” She asked and I chuckled.
Oh if only.
“No Dorothy. I’m all wolf inside.” I say. She shakes her in doubt.
“But you were able to read my mind.. ” she says and I nod.
“I’m a gifted wolf. The moon goddess blessed me with a few gifts but I’m all wolf. You’ll get a chance to see a glimpse of those gifts today. Come on.” I say walking out of my room and out of the apartment.
We walked until we reached an open field where people were gathering around. Right in the center was Xander with Jade and Myrtle. They seemed to be deep in conversation but it died down when I got to them.
“Don’t stop on my account.” I say and Jade turns back to Xander.
“You can’t do this! She obviously has more strength and we all know it. It isn’t a fair fight.” Jade said.
“It wasn’t a fair fight when you had Myrtle go to Sabrina’s apartment and try to hurt her son. You should not be talking about fairness. As Lycans, we aren’t sneaky. If you despise Sabrina, you take her on. You should know this already.” Xander said.
He moved away from us and Lucas quieted the pack.
“Red Creek! It’s been a while since we all gathered here for a fight. Let us not waste any more time and get it to it. Lucas, go ahead.” Xander said.
Lucas walked up to us and checked for any weapons. It is highly unlikely that a wolf will use weapons during a fight but sneak attacks have happened before. Once he was satisfied that we were all clean of any weapons, he then nodded at Xander, who turned to look at us.
“You will fight in wolf form. That way I know your wolves will fight to live. Now, get ready to fight.” Xander said and we all took a defensive stance.
Myrtle and Jade all facing me. They took their clothes off and shifted in to their wolves. I followed soon after and shifted in to mine. Athena wanted blood and she was ready to rip apart Myrtle for trying to harm our child.
Xander and Lucas moved away from us as I circled around the two girls. I could feel the fear coming from them and it was satisfying. In battle they knew what I was capable of and yet they wanted to harm my son.
It was stupid really. Dumb to think they would’ve lived to see the next day if they’d succeeded in laying a scratch on my baby. I was definitely going to kill them.
One thing I’ve learned from keeping new uncle alive is that I should’ve killed him and I won’t make that mistake again. They came for my son.
No forgiveness for that.
“Fight!” Xander shouted out and Myrtle tried to jump at me but I dodged her and ran up to Jade and bit off her hind leg. She howled in pain but I quickly turned around and went for little miss Myrtle.
I ran to her at top speed and jumped over her and landed on her back then bit in to her shoulder and pulled out a chunk of meat. She fell to the ground as I rolled off and charged back at her.
She tried to get up but she wasn’t fast enough. I tackled her back to the ground and I bit in to her neck as I shook my head vigorously, causing a lot of blood loss. I bit down again and this time I ripped her head off.
My whole face covered in blood. My white fur covered in red liquid.
One down.
I turned to Jade who seemed frozen in place. She was looking at Myrtle’s head lying on the ground, on the other side of the ground, was her body.
If a wolf could grin, I’d be grinning from ear to ear. As I approached, she limped back.
It was written in the stars. Today was her last day and I was taking her to her maker.
I growled at her and she stopped moving. This was my chance.
I was going to end her like I just did Myrtle.
“Stop!” Xander called out.
Wtf.
No way am I stopping now. I jumped on Jade and got her neck. The second my teeth tasted blood, I knew why Xander said to stop.
I could taste the wolfsbane in her system. She didn’t smell like it then so how? How was she able to stay conscious all this time?
I started to feel a little faint but Athena was going to end her. End her for using a weapon best known to weaken and kill wolves. She knew she had no chance with me so she was going to try take me down with her.
Well I’ve got a surprise of my own for her.
I released my power to remind her who I am.
I released my grip on her and fought the urge to fall. I was going to heal this and remind her before it kills her.
I moved away from her and she shifted back to human.
She was laughing now. Thinking she’d won. I’ll let her have this for now while I heal. Her laughs could be heard by the entire pack.
Once I feel like myself again, I look back at her and growl.
I also shift back, with my power all out. I stand up tall and her laugh falters. It was my turn to laugh now.
“You think your little sneak attack will work on me?” I ask looking at her.
“I AM Sabrina Kimberley Trent. I am a direct descendant of the moon goddess. The blood that flows in her veins, flows in mine. The amount of wolfsbane in your system is not enough to kill me.” I say to her.
Her eyes bulge out at my statement.
“With all of this power, you think a little wolfsbane will send me to meet my maker?” I say as I walk up to her. She tries to move away but her body won’t heal her with the wolfsbane in her system.
“I am a power your little mind could never comprehend.” I said.
I brush her hair out of her face.
“Today you die. Your story ends here and I’ll promise you something since you won’t be here to see the next day.” I say as I crouch to all fours, ready to shift and end all of this.
“I promise to enjoy Xander. Maybe in time, I’ll have that Luna position you’ve always wanted.” I say and that got her attention as she tried to move but I was faster.
I shifted in to my wolf and ripped her head off and threw it to the other side.
I shifted back to human and put my clothes back on. I was covered in blood and now my clothes too.
Xander walked up to me.
“Just when I thought I had you all figured out, you surprise me yet again. That wolfsbane could kill any normal wolf.” He says and I smile.
“Ah but I’m not any normal wolf.” I say and he chuckles.
“That’s right. You’re a direct descendant of the moon goddess. Every one knows who you are now.” He says with concern in his eyes.
“I know. I know that Max can now probably find me but let him come. I will kill him if he tries anything on my son. I won’t run this time, I will face him before he meets his end.” I say with so much confidence.
Max was weaker. I am too strong to be running away and if he comes for me, I’ll be ready.
“We will end him. You are part of my pack now Sabrina. Your safety, just like every one in my pack, is my concern.” He says and I smile back.
I was a new woman today.
I was tired of playing small. I was no small fish. I’m a fucking shark.
I will no longer hide my power. It is part of me and people need to know who I am.
I am a gifted wolf and I will stand proud.
No man will tell me what to do.
No man will make me feel less than what I am ever again.
I am enough.
