Chapter 4

A great howl was released, and the wolf ran towards her. Gwen tightened her grip on her dagger she knew she was overpowered but she will be a fool to try to flee from it by foot, without being able to outrun it by horse.

She simply waited, the wolf lunged towards her, she closed her eyes and raised the danger.

An incredible roar that almost made her deaf came out of nowhere, she flung her eyes open and realized that now in front of her were two wolves and of them was very familiar.

The white wolf.

She looked at it with her eyes cracked open, it growled furiously at the other wolf and the grey one growled back, it almost seemed like they were having a conversation. She was afraid they might be discussing who was to eat her first or what part of her body each one preferred.

The white wolf was bigger and stronger than the grey one and it moved with supremacy, it took a menacing attitude blocking her from the grey wolf.

Finally, her persecutor backed down and ran in the opposite direction.

How bad was her luck, passing from one wolf to another.

Serena was still holding her dagger when the wolf faced her and stared tilting its head to the side.

It growled at her when she stepped back and all she could think of was that she had saved it to have it attacking her.

The thought of her sister's worried face came to her mind, she kept asking if her pet was going to be okay all alone.

If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have saved its life, and now it was standing there and her sister was nowhere to be found.

Anger took control of her and although she knew animals couldn't talk, she let loose all of her emotions.

"Where is Lacie!" She shouted at the wolf "We took care of you and this is how you repay us?"

A sharp pain pierced her chest, with the only thought of not being able to see her sister again.

"She has wondered if the wolf was going to be okay, alone in the forest," she said to her shelf and laughed bitterly, she had no more reasons to fight for.

She clumsily stepped back and ran, if she was going to die, she was going to do it in her house.

She knew the wolf could attack her from behind, so she passed through narrow spaces in between the cottages the small village was empty and everything was scattered on the ground.

Before she knew it, she found herself Infront of her house but she wasn't alone.

She was surrounded by various men that had gathered the entire village there, she couldn't understand what was happening but everyone looked at her with a diversity of emotions.

Some looked at her with pity while others looked furious and the rest was just too scared to even look at all.

" Gwenny" Lacie shouted and ran to hug her.

Gwenyvere couldn't believe her eyes, she simply hugged her back afraid she might vanish into the thin air.

"Father and mother were very worried for you, we were coming to look for you but they told us to stay here, I have to go and get berries so the wolf can eat," said Lacie confused.

"There's nothing to worry about Cara*, the wolf is fine," said a firm voice behind them, and both girls broke their embrace to look at the owner of such a towering voice.

Gwenyvere pushed her sister behind her and raised her chin defiantly.

"Who are you?" she demanded to the man that was two feet taller than her "what do you want?" she yelled but wasn't answered he instead acted like she didn't exist.

"Like I've said I came with the intentions to destroy this village, but I will leave if you give me a prize" he folded his arms "you have two options" he looked at nobody in particular "you give this woman to me and I leave appeased or I take her and I destroy everything".

People started murmuring, in the middle of the upheaval she saw her father step forward.

"I can be taken in her place, take me instead" her father pleaded "I have medical knowledge and I can work as anything".

"I said the woman," the barbarian said firmly and two of his man held her father.

"No!" She shouted and sent Lacie to their mother.

The group of villagers started talking at the same time making a noise similar to that of a swarm of bees.

Gwenyvere stood there as an exhibition of meat at the square market, she couldn't let this happen she couldn't let her sister and mother without her father, she had the village in her hands but nor did she want to leave with these savages.

However, she only had a choice and that was to leave with them, she looked at the man in front of her and had again the familiar feeling that she has seen him before.

His body was built perfectly, with muscle after muscles, his white hair was long above his neck and he had blue eyes like the depths of the ocean; his jaw was outlined just like his nose while his lips were thin.

"Majority have spoken," he said concluding the discussion.

"Alpha" shouted one of the bastards under his command.

Alpha?

That was his name?

Gwenyvere ran her legs out but wasn't able to cross the fifth cottage when two big hands lifted her from the ground and placed her effortlessly on a horse.

She fought the man's hands and bare chest, she bit him twice and was going for the third bite when he took her by the neck and made him look at his blue eyes forcefully.

"If you are not still... I swear to the moon goddess you won't like what I would do to you" he slowly let go of her.

Lately, it didn't take him more than two minutes to finally have no choice but to tie her down with a piece of cloth that he ripped off from her dress.

He had a full view of the whole of her back and more now.
