I hear the heavy footsteps running behind our group, there are people chasing us and I am sure it is the rogues wanting to detain us again or simply kill us after their fight broke out.
I knew that a breakdown was inevitably going to happen to this rogue force as their nature is to be feral, wild and aggressive. Keeping to the rules and being in a pack-like environment is hard for rogues to do. The only reason why they had been able to fight packs in this war is due to their leader - a witch who I'm sure has used some sort of magic to keep them in control, only now it has failed.
It's about time.
My wolf finds a cave on the side of a cliff, she places the pups in before nodding her head for everyone else to get in. Those who are strong enough shift and stand on guard outside with me as we ready ourselves to fight the bastards who imprisoned us for years.
As I hear them get closer my strength seems to increase even more despite the silver and wolfsbane coursing through me. Even with this shitty muzzle on and my body littered in bloody cuts I feel stronger by the second as each footstep comes nearer to me.
I edge forward, nervous that I will miss the enemy due to my f****d up senses - my sight is blurry, my hearing sounds like I'm underwater, my smell is non-existent but my strength is high.
A figure breaks through the tree line he is in human form and a striking male with a huge build but that doesn't deter my wolf, she launches herself onto him claws slicing into this male as sparks ripple through me.
He wraps his arms around me, one on my neck, the other on my body as he lowers us to the ground.
"What a way to greet your male, my sweet mate" his deep husky voice makes my wolf freeze, looking up at him in adoration - we have been waiting for our mate for years, the other half to our soul.
A whine leaves my wolf as she gets up, licking his chest where her claws had been embedded and trots back to the cave, nodding towards the females and pups who my mate walks towards.
"My warriors and I have destroyed the cells. The rogues there are either captured or killed, you are all safe now. I have warriors coming here as well as some medics to help you all." he is an alpha by the tone of his voice, all the females hiding either cry in relief or cheer as they hug each other and the pups. Praising the Goddess for their freedom.
I pace back, brushing myself against my mate who kneels down beside me, "Look at what they have done to her" I didn't notice the other wolves who had joined us - my senses now fading even more. Strength lessening by the second but I am sure my wolf tapped into our mate's power when we were in danger and now she views that we are safe she is relaxing, though that may be fatal for us.
One of his wolves clasps his hand on his shoulder as my body collapses onto my mate, my eyes finding his as my wolf lets out a whine.
"She will heal I can see she is strong" his friend says but I am doubtful that I will fulfill his prediction. My mate strokes through my fur, growling under his breath "Where the f**k is Paula? Or Malvin? Someone needs to heal my mate before she f*****g dies!"
He runs his hands over the silver muzzle, his skin burning as he does "My female..." he sighs, leaning down to nuzzle me "I will ease your pain my mate, you are so strong but now you can relax. I will keep you safe. No one will hurt you now"
His promises have my wolf and I sighed in relief. Despite the ugly scars marring my body, despite the c*m of another male still inside me and despite the blood matting my fur this male sounds proud of me.
He is smart and I suppose he is worthy of me. I am strong and I need a mate to match my strength - he seems like a match.
His voice continues to echo around me as I drift away, his hands gliding over me in a soothing manner lead me further into a deep sleep until I sink into the black.
