Chapter 19

Jack

Witnessing the werewolves clash was like watching two mage-powered engines going full steam at one another. Every time the beasts struck out, the ground trembled with the impact. Trees cracked and fell as the behemoths crashed into each other with abandon.

Blood matted Marcus’ back leg and neck. The brown female werewolf was limping as the two warriors circled one another again. Her eyes were still full of hate, but she was tiring. For all the impressive speed she could summon at a moment’s notice, it didn’t seem that endurance to sustain such acts were in her wheelhouse of abilities.

Then, it happened. Just as soon as the fight had begun, it was over.

Marcus pretended to lunge directly at his opponent. As he anticipated, she dodged to her right where he had already moved and landed right into his jaws. Marcus would never be as quick as the female werewolf he fought, but years of combat experience had taught him that it wasn’t always the fastest unicorn in the race that won.

With strong jaws, Marcus clamped down around the female’s throat. They both understood it was over as Marcus took a dominating stance above her. She struggled for a moment, then decided better of it and lay still. The only thing that moved now were the chests of the two giant werewolves.

Blood trickled down the area where Marcus’ jaws began to penetrate the female werewolf’s throat. She whimpered in pain.

Jack had seen enough. “Don’t do it!” The insanity his father battled against, the monster within he was just beginning to understand, was winning. “She was wrong to challenge you, but you’ve won. It’s over now! Stop! Dad, you need to stop!”

For a brief moment, Jack thought his words would not be enough. The other werewolves in the pack made room for Jack as he ran forward and placed his hands on his father’s face.

A deep growl rumbled from Marcus’ throat.

“You don’t need to kill her.” Jack felt his father’s hot breath on his hands. Under his fingers, he could even feel the muscles of his father’s jaw trembling. “Aareth needs you. This is over.”

With extraordinary reluctance, Marcus finally let go of the other werewolf’s throat.

The brown werewolf scrambled up on all fours and ran to take shelter amongst the bulk of the pack.

Jack moved to stand by his father’s side as he whispered, “I’m proud of you.”

The large white werewolf turned to his son and winked one yellow eye. In a moment, his attention was back on the rest of the pack. He lifted his head to the sky and let out a commanding howl.

Each one of his pack members, including the female that had just been bested, followed his lead, and the sound melded into one as the pack showed its fealty to their leader.

Marcus took the lead a moment later, bounding into the dark forest, headed toward Term with the world’s first united werewolf pack behind him. The sound they made as they galloped through the forest was like a cavalry unit heading toward the battlefield.
