Death Wolf Saga
Death Wolf Chapter 53

Thora’s pov

I have been in hell, in mental hell to be exact. I don’t know how many days it has been , since I was brought here.

My mind was not mine it seemed.

With the same nightmares and dreams day and night. I almost forgot how the real world looked like. I see a tree…a big tree in a forest everytime and it feels like it’s calling me.

I don’t know if it exists also or no, if yes I don’t know where it is.

But my soul, it is attracted to it like anything before. The death wolf no longer interacts with me and I am thankful.

Yet I am aware that it doesn’t need to now, when it can take over my body any second on its own.

When I am just a puppet in it’s hand.

My thoughts are interrupted by a kick in my stomach, and I clench onto Daniel’s collar tightly. My eyes stop at the figure standing between the Royal army and us.

And my heart starts beating faster.

Why? Why is he doing this? He always said he hated me.

Then why is he signing his own death sentence by helping me?

My eyes lock with his striking grey ones and another kick hits my stomach. My child…our child…it knows what’s happening.

We continue to stare and fear enters my insides as I see the huge army coming behind him.

He is way outnumbered….how will he survive this?

He will die

The voice speaks in my mind after a very long time and tears fall down my eyes. No…I hate him yes ..but he can’t die.

He is strong…he is the werewolf king ! He can’t die that easily.

I start thrashing in Dan’s grip , almost pleading when Volkan turns his back on me, after mouthing the words sorry.

“Thora we need to save you-“

“But he will die Dan! I…I have to save him…I … please”

“Don’t be stupid Thora! You can’t even stand up! How the hell are you going to save him?”

Tears fall down my eyes like a water fall, and I start pushing him. Desperate to turn back and save Volkan.

Those eyes….when they said they are sorry? For the first time they were unveiled of his fascades.

They looked so weak, so vulnerable, so sad yet determined.

No! I have to save him! I can’t let him die like that no matter what he did…

I just can’t

I was able to push back Dan with all the strength in me, to only have him curse.

“Fuc* Thora?What are you even doing!!”

“Leave me! I…I need to save him! He will die!”

I start walking in the opposite direction, holding the wall. From where the sound of the swords clashing was evident.

My teary eyes desperate to see him.

When suddenly something churns in my stomach ,and an excruciating pain hits my abdomen

“Ahhhhhhh”

I almost scream holding my stomach. To only feel a wetness between my legs and my eyes widen.

M…y…my child.

“Sh**! Thora!”

Dan screams from behind and before I know I was falling back to be only held by him. My hands holding my stomach as I literally scream at the unbearable pain.

He doesn’t wait a second, picking me up to take me through the secret passage. My teary eyes lingering on the empty hallway.

As my vision keeps going hazy.

“Dan…I…”

“Hold on. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

I trusted him. Seeing him looking down at me . I give him a sad smile. Despite the unbearable pain in my stomach.

I don’t know much after it.

I hear screams, growls and swords slashing in the air, I see b***d surrounding me. Yet, his grip on me doesn’t loosen.

He walks down the battlefield with me in his arms, not letting a single sword to touch me.

We were somewhere in the forest now, those howls still echoing behind. As he tightens his grip on me.

“They are still following! Dammit!”

Dan talks to himself and my pain becomes almost unbearable. It felt like something was struggling to tear apart me and I breathe heavily.

“D…an….I….I….ahhhh… it’s……ahhhhhhh”

“Shhh Shh fiore just a minute more. We are there just hold on.”

His serene eyes made me see hope. And I nod, looking up at the full moon with my teary blurring my vision.

He fastens his pace and the thudding of paws behind us, closes in.

“These fuc*ers!”

Dan whispers, looking behind his shoulders. To see two wolves at his trail. One of them leaps in the air, and without any thought Dan shield’s my frane with his. Expecting the claws to slash his back.

But nothing.

Surprised, he looks back to see Ray slashing his sword,from in between the wolves chest, making a loud scream to echo.

Looking at Dan, Ray nods.

“Go on brother. Leave these fuc*ers to me.”

And Dan nods, hope rising in his chest. Picking me up,he rushes to see that old cottage in the forest,my eyes closing. Not able to hold it any longer.

“Thora. Stay with me!”

“I can’t…..Dan..I…umm….agghh”

“Open your eyes fiore. We are here.”

He says pushing the door open to lay me on the bed. Looking around for someone.

“I see it’s time.”

A voice comes from behind and Dan sighs , seeing an old lady standing there holding a stick.

She was the same lady….the eldest member of the clan.

Lara

Her eyes fixed on me laying on the bed as I convulsed in pain.

“Elder Lara she-“

“Move out boy.”

Was all she said. Starting the preperations. Dan nods, bowing, to hold my hand in his.

“You can do it. Okay?”

I nod, gulping. With my tears wetting the pillow. The fear of death very much alive in my chest, but the hope of seeing my child alive, stronger than it.

A loud howl echoes in the forest outside and a sudden pain hits my chest.

Accompanying the excruciating pain.

Volkan…no..noo… please……fear enters my eyes.

And I almost go numb for a second.

To only hear Lara screams this time, seeing my condition worsening.

“Out boy!”

Dan staggers back, looking at me one last time. To only see the doors getting closed on him.

He goes out of my vision,and my chest heaves up and down in rhythms. The churning in my stomach returning.

“Aggghhhhhh pl….plea…se….”

I clench the bedsheets in my grip. To only see Lara stand beside me.

Placing her palms on my sweating forehead, she whisper softly to me.

“Push my child.”

And that’s what I did. Ignoring the burning that was rising in my chest.

Please be alive Volkan…. please be alive.

Was what I plead as I push harder, giving in all the strength left in my body

……

Dan stands outside the doors, making sure that no wolf enters or tries to interrupt. A cover of dark clouds envelops the sky.

Veiling the full moon and suddenly the fear of the unknown enters his mind.

It’s the summoning today.

It can begin anytime.

The time with Thora was limited. Once the child takes birth, he has to restrain her or she will herself surrender to death.

She will kill herself if he doesn’t stop her.

The death wolf will take over her body and it will do everything to take her to the mysterious forest.

Thora trusted him.

He has to keep his promise.

He has to save her and her child.

The irony was almost impossible to believe. Him , being the leader of Hunters protecting the werewolf heir.

But he has to do it.

The child may be a werewolf….but it was his Fiore’s b***d….. and it shouldn’t be killed no matter what.

His thoughts come to rest as lightning strikes the sky to be followed by a sharp shrill, accompanied by a painful howl.

And his heart drops.

Volkan?

It’s his growl. Does…does this mean? No…he can’t….he has to be alive.

He can’t die like that.

And then at the same time, the cry of a baby is heard from inside the cottage and he goes still.

The child…the child was here.

.

.

.

The unknown heir of the werewolf world has been born.

.

.

And that’s when the first drop of rain falls, marking the true begining of the prophesy beyond what no one has read.

Marking the very birth of the one who will come to be named after the protector of mankind.

Marking the beginning of Alexa Black.

The protector of Deat

Daughter of the werewolf king Volkan Knight and the summoner of death Thora Valentine.
