True Love
Chapter 44

Daren attacked them again and again, while they fought back as best they could. But with their bodies reaching their limits, it was almost impossible for them not to avoid the wolf’s bites. This last blow he gave them, seriously wounded Deysi, who could no longer get up from the ground. Even in wolf form she whimpered like a wounded puppy.

Megan, seeing her in such a bad way, pulled her strength from everywhere and tried to continue protecting Shery and Deysi. She stood between the girls and Daren and growled at him again. The wolf did the same and the two collided their furry bodies biting and hurting each other. Megan whimpered in pain, Daren had grabbed her by the neck with his sharp teeth causing terrible damage to the little wolf.

He finally released her, throwing her like an old rag to the ground. Megan was breathing heavily and slowly returned to her human state. Daren, seeing the girls defeated, also opted to return to his normal state.

-She… Shery, you have to… -Complain. -Run away, go now. Megan said in a whisper, only to be knocked unconscious later.

-Run away? But where? This cabin is surrounded by many wolves.

-Daren, why are you doing this?

-Because you ran away from home, you pissed me off so much. And after I’ve used you as much as I want I’ll kill you Shery. Plus you stink like that f*****g wolf cub, you slept with him, you f*****g bitch.

-You’ve lost your mind.

-I’ll kill him, I promise.

He came so close to her that she backed up against the wall of the fireplace. Her hands slapped the metal edge of the rod with which the burning wood was being stirred, and she gripped it tightly as she watched Daren approach her.

-I did not intend to kill you, but for your audacity to run away now you will see what I am truly capable of making you precious. Handing you over to someone else wasn’t the stupidest thing you’ve ever done, either, aside from getting the hell out of my house.

-From your prison, I mean!

As soon as he went to lay a finger on him Shery drove the metal rod into his thigh, plunging it deep. Daren cried out in pain, and as he pulled the metal stake out of his bleeding leg, Shery took the opportunity to run away from him.

With tears in her eyes and her heart pounding, the young woman ran without any direction, her head was clouded and she couldn’t think of anything. The fear was so great that she could only think of running, knowing that he would come after her.

-SHERYYYYYYY… YOU F*****G BITCH, YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS!

She heard screaming behind her back, but she didn’t stop running. She didn’t know where she was going until her face collided with a huge, completely naked and agitated body. He shook to his core, for Daren was naked. As she looked at the person she collided with, a glimmer of hope flashed through her.

-Ethan! she said through her tears.

-Are you all right, love?

-Yes, but Megan and Deysi are not. That man hurt them.

-Where are they? JB asked.

-At the cabin. JB didn’t wait any longer and shot off in the direction of the house.

-Wait, JB. Ethan shouted at him. -Let’s go. He urges Shery.

When they arrived at the cabin Daren was nowhere to be seen, the girls were still unconscious on the floor. The young men helped him by placing them on couches so they could rest. At least their wounds were beginning to heal, slowly but surely.

-They’ll be fine, they just need rest. JB said at the question they were all probably asking themselves.

A hand grabbed Ethan’s neck and pulled him out of the house in one fell swoop, Daren had returned with his batteries charged and more pissed off than ever. Shery looked at him and could see a tremendous hatred in his eyes for everyone there. He had lost his mind.

-She’s mine, little wolf. She’s mine,” he said to Ethan once outside.

-She never will be.

-She was! I made her mine for the first time, I’m her first man and her body belongs to me. Did she tell you how she m****d while I f****d her? Huh? She laughed.

-I’ll kill you before you lay another finger on her, you miserable f**k.

Ethan turned into a wolf and Daren did the same. They both walked sideways, snarling at each other and making strange sounds with their snouts. Ethan’s back was thickened giving him a larger and more intimidating look. His ears were half crooked in a sign that he did not like his opponent.

The wolves ran in the same direction ready to sink their fangs into each other’s furry bodies, but Daren was not as quick as Ethan. The black wolf bit his snout ferociously, shaking it back and forth. The white wolf was trying to shake it off with his paws as he was turned upside down.

Dom was a powerful wolf, the only one of his kind. He was not going to be intimidated by this alpha. Without letting go of his muzzle he put his front paws on the black wolf’s chest, applying more pressure. He planned to rip off his muzzle and finish him off once and for all.

But Daren was playing dirty, with his paws he clawed at the wolf’s eye, making it release its grip. The wolf growled, and could barely open his eye. The black wolf seized the opportunity and grabbed him by the paw and threw him against a tree that broke under the impact.

At last he could feel the presence of his wretched son, at last he could feel proud of him. For he would give him what he so longed for. He was with another alpha, he could smell him too but that was no problem. He picked up his pace and came upon the hut his boys had told him about, he arrived at last.

He waited patiently, watching the battle between his son and that wolf who turned out to be quite young for such a menacing and intimidating inner wolf. He found it quite curious, it had been many, many years since he had admired the beauty of a majestic wolf with such characteristics.

They were so absorbed in their fight that they did not notice the presence of the old man watching from the shadows of the forest surrounding the miserable ruined village. Daren’s strength was incredible, he had grown strong over the years and that was a good thing. At least for Lucian.

Ethan wounded Daren but still continued to give him battle. Neither would give in, they were both strong and it might be a fight for days. But Lucian was not willing to wait much longer, he would not allow his only son to be harmed, especially when he was so precious to him.

He came out of his hiding place so that both animals could sense his presence, and they did, because they stopped fighting to focus on the third presence that growled at them.

-Lucian! What the hell are you doing here?

-Hello Daren, I see you’ve grown stronger. I like it.”

“Get out, I don’t need your help to finish this a*****e off.”

“He’s given you a fight isn’t he, he’s no ordinary wolf and you’ve already noticed that.”

“I’ll kill him, don’t interfere.” – “I’ll kill him, don’t interfere.”

“Well I didn’t come for him.” – “What?”

“What?”

Ethan bit Daren’s neck knocking him down and turning him upside down again, and that time he wouldn’t let go until he left him lifeless. But Ethan in turn was knocked down by the newly appeared white wolf, and the blow he received was so hard that he struggled to get up. The boy growled at the old man.
