CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

Terry moved to the other side of the small stream that trickled down the center of the riverbed. The South Platte had carried a great deal more water in the before time, but it had also run dry back then, too. At least there was some water and it wasn’t tainted.

And none of that mattered in their current situation. The alpha bore down on them from the bank to their left, the south side of the river. Char stood closest to that point. Terry aimed his rifle at the bank, waiting for the moment the great black Werewolf appeared.

The rest of the Force were arrayed to bring maximum firepower to bear on the alpha and catch him in a crossfire, assuming he entered the riverbed where Char and Terry waited.

Char dropped to all fours and snarled. Her hackles rose and spittle flew from her mouth. Those on the banks were unnerved by the sight and the sound. The bonfire reflected off her shiny pelt. Lacy was on the south riverbank, and she was the first one to see him approach, only glimpses as he glided over the Wastelands in the weak moonlight.

Terry put Lacy there because he assumed the alpha wouldn’t attack a woman.

Marcus unerringly bore down on Lacy. She fired, then panicked and flipped the lever to automatic. She yanked back on the trigger, spraying her rounds skyward as the barrel jumped. She emptied an entire magazine and didn’t hit the massive creature running straight at her.

Marcus hit her at full speed, throwing her ten feet in the air and twenty feet backward. She landed in a heap and rolled down the bank. No one knew if she lived or died. The alpha stood overlooking Char, but only for an instant.

Long enough for Terry Henry Walton, expert Marine Corps marksman, to send a round behind the Werewolf’s left shoulder. Marcus yipped like a wounded pup. Clyde picked up on the creature’s pain and started to bray. He crouched as if he was going to run, but Terry yelled.

The alpha jumped down the bank and powered straight toward Char. She dodged, as she’d been practicing, avoiding his jaws and sinking her teeth into his neck as he passed.

He was wider than she remembered, and he jammed her hard with his shoulder as he leapt skyward. She lost her grip and fell in his wake, rolling to get back on her feet.

Terry fired and instantly dropped the weapon as the alpha continued toward him, leaving Char on the ground. Terry couldn’t uncoil the bullwhip quickly enough, so he pulled his knife with his left hand and waited to dodge the incoming freight train.

Marcus was in pain, but his anger was overwhelming. There she was, with the human. It drove him beyond the edge of reason. The small man’s heart would be his and Char, he could tell, was in heat. Wolf pups. He would make them this very night while dancing in the blood of the dead.

Terry wondered how much silver it would take to affect the massive beast.
