Still running, Motus huffed and puffed the more he ran through the snow. His ears up and alert but he never heard the howls get closer as he got farther away from Atzi. He suddenly stops and thinks. After running for a good 10 minutes, Motus realized that they never followed him. "So, if I'm not the target...then who..is..?" Motus couldn't believe it. This was a first.
Motus froze and realized they wanted Atzi, "But..why the human...why target her?... she's not that import-" Motus was confused at this and felt a strong pulling urgency to reach her. This felt new to Motus yet familiar at the same time. It scared him at first til he realized what it meant. He suddenly and high tailed it back towards where he left her. The howls and growls grew faint then louder and his drive to reach her grew stronger.
He ran faster and more determined despite the dull pain in his healing leg that was throbbing like crazy. His current husky state slowed down his healing abilities. Motus skidded to a stop, tossing snow up in the air as he saw the glow. Atzi's figure was glowing as bright as the full moon over the circle of Wolves.
They all watched in awe as her body was twisting and contorting into a new shape he thought wasn't possiblefor a normal human: she shifted into a large misty gray and black she wolf. As the glow dulled a bit but still remained, the new she wolf snarls and attacks the enemy Wolves. She walked around them in a stalking manner, with angered growls before she lunged a defensive attack. Her fanged maw gnashing, her claws slicing and ripping into hides of the guards. Each yelped and snarled and barked as the she wolf attacked the group.
Motus shook his head in disbelief at what he was witnessing and joined her in the fight. She saw Motus join, and it seemed like his prescence only fueled her to be more aggressive and protective for him.But only after 5 minutes did the glow cease and she returned back to her human self once again with ripped clothes and a shivering body covered in wolf blood.
Atzi laid slumped into a snow pile, completely drained and exhausted as Motus chased away the injured guards as far away as he could. After getting them away he returned back to Atzi. "She's the One. The Luna that can break my curse..but her powers are weak from no use. I can't leave her. I have to help her grow strong. She's my Luna and I'm her Alpha."
Atzi began to stir awake and she tried standing, but was wobbly in her legs. Motus helped her get steady and guided her back home to rest up from the fight. Once home,Motus helps her as best a husky can with getting cleaned up and ready for bed. Atzi soon collapsed in her bed with Motus watching over her.
After a few days of rest and relaxation, Atzi finally decided to try and figure out what happened to her that night. Demon was nearby on the floor near her desk. He lifted his head when he heard her voice. "What..was that..? I..don't understand…"She looks at the husky and for a second thought he was listening. She reached put and spoke to him as she petted his soft ears. "Oh Demon, what am I going to do?""Well first off my name's not Demon..though my enemies think I am a demon." His voice finally spoke aloud andAtzi jumped back surprised and ran into the other exam room.Motus followed and pawed at the door. 'Ahhh come ooon. I'm not that scary am I? We can now talk about it now Atzi. I'm surprised you can actually understand me."Atzi couldn't believe it, her dog was talking to her. "Dogs don't talk...d..do they?" She thought to herself. She waited a bit before coming out. Motus was sitting on the chair near her door.He hopped
The next day, Atzi and Motus got things together for the trip. Motus told her what they needed and Atzi packed it in a bag. Soon they were headed out. "So where do we go now Motus?" Atzi asked him as he sat in the backseat."First of ...all...i..am..not..a..pet.." He said each word as he climbed into the front seat. "...so I get to sit up front like a normal human being.." He nods his head with a matter of factly manner and chuffs."Secondly we are going to stop at Lake Destiny for a few days. You need to train."Atzi looked at him with a surprise in her eyes. "Train. ? Train for what..?" She asked as they drove down a wooded road. Motus smirked and looked at the passing trees.After a few hours' drive, they arrived at Lake Destiny. Motus yawned as he just awoke from a nap. Atzi opened his door and he got out. She gathered a few things and followed him to the water."We need to draw out that power you displayed. It's t
They reached the camp and Motus wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say. He felt bad for scaring her and wanted to make amends for his bad choice. He had grown to like her very much and didn't want to ruin any chances with her.Atzi pitched her tent and started a fire afterwards. She stared at the burning orange flames, the floating embers and listened to the cackling wood as it burned.The noises of the fire were all that filled that night's cool air. Motus settled near her but still gave her space. She found her earbuds in her bag and put them in her ears, linked them to her cellphone and began to listen to her music.After a few minutes, Atzi stood up and went towards the lake. Motus watched her and followed behind a bit, worried for her to be safe. Atzi began to jog around the lake as a way to think better.Her music picked up pace and so did her running pace. Her heart raced even more as she picked up speed. Her head lowered as s
The pair woke up all cuddled together under the trees. Motus stirred awake first and looked at Atzi with his icy blue eyes. He gave a kind smile and gently nuzzled her face.She woke up and blushed a bit red.Atzi sat up and stretched a bit. She stood up and looked at Motus.“Well, I think my music in my earbuds helped out. Instead of you scaring me, I'll keep at least one of these in my ears, just in case.” Motus nods to her in response and they head back into the woods.The other day before they arrived at the lake, Motus explained how this place wasn't very far from Damon’s castle. He said they could hike the rest of the way because a car can't get up the steep hill his castle is on top of.Atzi listened and was thinking of what could happen once they got to the castle. Would they see those guards again? Will they be able to get past them if they do see them? And if so, where from there?All t
Atzi continued to shift through many volumes and tomes she pulled off the dusty shelves. Each she looked through didn't have any clue or answer for a curse breaker.She almost gave up when she heard a book fall on the hardwood floor. Atzi looked up from the book in her hands and closed it slowly.She crouched in the aisle and began to walk slowly towards the back of the room. Her brown eyes looked all over, trying to catch a glimpse of what made that book fall.She heard scurries across the floor. Atzi grew anxious and a bit scared. "Who's there?" She asked in a shakey voice. There was no reply.She asked again only to hear another falling book hit the floor. Her footsteps creaked on certain places on the wooden floor.She then caught a glimpse of red eyes in a shadow part of the area before they disappeared. Atzi jumped surprised but stood in place.Atzi slowly walked towards where she say the eyes were last seen. In her hands, she held a t
Motus leapt at the tall man as Atzi disappears from his sight. "i hope she gets out safely." He thought to himself as he attacked. The man caught Motus by his neck and threw him into a nearby shelf. The shelf and all its dusty contents crashed on top of Motus with a loud clatter."You ain't so big and bad now are ya? Haha! Just a scared pup you are now." The tall man stepped into a brighter light to reveal himself as Amadaus. Motus attempted to stand, but he was wobbly and aching,"Take this mutt to the grand meeting room. Im sure the Alpha would love to see what we caught." Amadaus said with a nasty sneer. Two other guys came at Motus and carried him off.Amadaus was just about to fo!low when he caught the scent of another....a female. A wicked smile appeared on his lips bigger then the chesire cat. He pulled a lower ranked wolf to him and said."Smell that? We hace a little lost girl running around...find her and bring her to me..unharmed. D
Atzi was running deep into the nearby woods that was not far from the window she jumped from. She wondered if the mouse was okay, but she remembers the sudden squeak followed by men's laughter"I thank whoever is watching for bringing her to help me and wish her to be safe." Atzi whispered to herself as she walked in the deep woods. She was just about to stop and look at the page she ripped from the book when a familiar sound hit her ears; the Guards.Atzi pocketed the paper and began running. She weaved through the trees, hopped over the brambles and bushes, her breath steady and tried to stay silent. The howls and barks alerted to Atzi how close they were on her trail. Her dark eyes grew wide at the thought of being caught. With this on her mind she ran faster. Sliding down a small cliffside she ducked into a cave just big enough to hide her. She remained her listening...watching.Above her, she heard the Guards huffing and
Motus' mind was flooded with all kinds of emotions. Sadness, Anger, Fright, Bravery...he couldn't place where these came from. Then he realized where."Atzi..?" Motus said to himself. He could feel her she wolf's presecence. She had changed again and was in danger. Well for a bit he could sense the danger. When it subsided, he swore her could here her voice reassuring him. He blinked his icy blue eyes as he sat in the dark cell. His ears swiveled trying to strain to hear something. Anything that could tell him where she was or if she was even okay."Atzi...what happend?" he said softly. The door suddenly opens and a wolf that was snow white entered. It shifted into a tall slender female with white hair. "Look at you,... you could've had it easy. Give Damon what he wants and he'll spare you. I'll put in a good word for you...only if you agree to make me your queen.' Motus growled and looked away. "Beat it Seraphyna. You know i'll
