The Hunter's Fate

Chapter 4

I woke up in the middle of the night, gasping for air. a thick layer of sweat has covered my body

'Just a nightmare, just a nightmare, just a nightmare ' I kept chanted this to myself. I was completely covered in sweat, and my whole body was shaking with the aftermath of the nightmare

I did what I always do, I changed into my jogging suit and went out for a run, without disturbing Sarah or Zeus, they would fuss over it till no end

I started running as fast as I could to remove all those horrible memories from my mind, I slow down somewhere in the forest. this land was no man's land so there were no pack wolves. but what scared me was that I was unfamiliar with this forest, and there was no way back

The moon was shining brightly in the night sky, the sweet voice of night animals, the sleepy forest calmed me down to an extent.

As I was busy relaxing I heard a twig break. I turned around to see 3 really huge wolves.

they were not your regular wolves no, They were almost as tall as me, all 3 wolves were grayish black, and let me tell you, they did not look happy, they started staring at me like I was the most disgusting thing they have ever seen.

And they started approaching me like a predator approaching its prey, I started searching for any weapons in my pocket but my luck. there weren't any.

If I were anyone else, I would be panicked but I just stood there strong, I never lose, I refuse to look weak, And you can't scare me. even if it's my last fight, I will leave this world with dignity

They attacked me one by one, one threw me at the nearby tree, I stood up ignoring the pain that shot through my leg and tried to kick it. and I think I broke some ribs but other wolf bit my leg making it bleed, one wolf tried to scratch my face but I covered my face with my hands. my hands had deep cuts and next, I was waiting for my death, at least I didn't die without trying.

I waited for the impact to come but it never came, instead, the wolves backed away seeing something behind me. almost looking scared and frighten

As I was about to turn, a loud roar was heard waking the sleepy forest, a really huge wolf jumped from above me And he stood protective in front of me. he growled loudly making them bow their head in submission

This wolf was different than any wolf I have ever seen before. not because it was my height in its wolf form. but it was the color which amazed me, it was not any black or white wolf but it is 'platinum'.

which was shining under the moonlight. His fur was long, shiny and looked soft and smooth.

The werewolf before me growled making the others bow in submission, the wolves made a move towards me but the platinum wolf growled lowly like he was warning them not to take another step.

I think they were mind linking. cause a few moments later the wolves backed away and went deep into the forest.

But the platinum wolf turned to see me, I was horribly bleeding, he took a step towards me and I backed away and my back hit a tree, it whimpered in return, I just slide and sat down, leaning on the tree and closed my eyes.

I felt something wet on my skin, I opened my eyes to see the wolf licking my wounds, I was shocked cause the cut was. healing? How can this be possible?

"How?" I asked out loud, it caused him to stop and look at me like a lost puppy. his eyes were stormy gray, I could never get tired looking at them, they held so much comfort. he tilts his head and dropped his left ear making a really cute face. Wait, cute? Yeah, I am definitely losing it or maybe it's the blood loss.

He licked all my cuts healing them in the process. and before I know it my skin was back to normal, when he was done. he stepped back and sat in front of me.

"Hmm hi," I said awkwardly a few moments later.

He just nodded and I think he smiled if that's possible

"I think I should go," I said getting up but he whimpered

"What's wrong? You want me to stay?" I asked looking at him confused

He nodded smiling again showing me his lazar sharp teeth, one bite and it’s a game over for me. but I doubt he would do that.

"Thanks for saving me, " I said honestly, I really thought I was going to die tonight. if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be alive right now. maybe not all werewolves were that bad after all

He nodded again

"Are you going to just keep on nodding? " I asked amused by the way he simply kept nodding

And again he nodded making me laugh lightly.

"I am Angel by the way," I said "what is your name? Or if you keep on just nodding then, can I name you? if you don't mind that is" I said awkwardly scratching me neck awkwardly

I am definitely losing it, the reason I am nice to him is cause he saved me against his own kind. so maybe I can give a chance of liking them.

He nodded eagerly, I can't believe the wolf moment ago scared the hell out of the 3 huge wolves is nodding in front of me. so that I can name him, this is really Strange.

"How about storm it goes with your eyes," I said. He licked my face and eagerly nodded his head

"Then Storm it is, "I said laughing while patting his head amused with his eagerness

" the sun is almost up so, I think it's time to go," I said getting up, he whimpered again "we'll meet again I promise, " I said making him lick my face again

"Are you from the howler pack ?" I asked he shook his head no,

"Are you a rogue?" I asked he shook his head no again, strange

"Ok, fine you can tell me when you wish to speak with me. in human form" I said turning around.

But I don't remember the way back. I think he read my mind cause he nudged me and walked in front of me but he turned his head maybe saying me to follow him, so I did

We kept on walking in a calm silence it was very comforting I was pretty far away from my temporary house.

Wait how did he know where I live?.

"How do you know where I live?" I asked making him turn his head to my side, he just shrugged

"You have a lot of explaining to do in your human form," I said annoyed. I feel like I am talking to myself

10 minutes later we reached my house

"You can go now," I said moving towards my house. he just shook his head no.

I just shrugged and walked in, when I looked out my bedroom window he was still there so I waved bye.

He saw me waving and then he turned to go deep into the forest.
