The two assassins could only watch as they were slowly surrounded by both blood moon wolves and their beta commanders.

“It’s over; you couldn’t deceive us, you think that you’d confuse us with the scent that you took to confuse us?” Taz says, flexing his claws and fangs, ready to attack the beta assassins.

“Leave, mutts, and go back crying to your alpha; she is ours,” one of the assassin males spoke. Kaide snarls, his anger evident in it. His eyes are a blast of ice blue, ready to kill.

“You dared enter our territory and take one of our own And you still dare to speak; I should rip your head out from where you stand.” Kaide mutters.

Taz has seen Kaide angry only a handful of times because the be hardly loses his cool, but he would have needed to have seen him so angry. Taz knew because him and Rygan were always meant to be the hot headed one, while Kaide was the one who made plans and kept them in check. But right now Kaide was pissed.

None of them knew why Kaides wolf was in so much unrest over the situation. “That is where you both see wrong; we didn’t take her; humans did, so it is not a crime to take a rogue that isn’t in your territory. And by the look on your faces, you’ve seen the scene she caused; she is a monster that you cannot handle, and as you see, there is a bounty on her head,” they muttered.

“We only got the opportunity to get closer to her after she got wounded–we wish we had done that ourselves.” Taz didn’t wait any longer as he prowled his way forward, attacking the taller, masked male.

While Kaide went for the other, and the fight began, both assassin wolves were extraordinary in their precise attacks and defense, but Kaide and Taz were an unstoppable force.

Taz lands a hit on the male that sends him flying toward a boulder, causing a loud crash that has the boulder breaking as the male falls to the ground.

He stands up, spurting out blood from the brutal attack landed by Tazmin. “Now you’ve done it,” the male growls as he lunges for Taz, surging forward to claws at the beat once again, their fight continues to be intense.

Meanwhile, Kaide was leading his duel against the male, unsuspecting if the male’s claw was laced with venom until it was too late and had been poisoned

He feels his vision grow blurry as the male uses that fatal opening to attack Kaide. “Watch out for the claws!” Kaide warns Tazmin as he blocks the assassin’s incoming attack.

The assassin male was surprised that Kaide could catch him by surprise; the male’s hand was severely crushed by Kaide, making the male scream in agony as he scrambled back away from Kaide.

“You dare hurt my brother!” The other male roared, trying to lunge for Kaide, but Taz stopped him. He then proceeded to run to the male.

“Go tell Alpha Kyren that he will never have Elise; leave now if you aren’t ready to face the rest of my men and our alpha, who will spare no mercy to you,” Taz snarls as he moves to help Kaide up. The poison still swimming in his bloodstream had him dizzy and weak.

The assassin sees this as defeat as they retreat into the darkness. This isn’t over,” they warn as they run into the woods, and the duel is finally over.

The pair could finally take a breather. They freeze when they hear a low whimper coming from the cave. “We need to be as quiet and non–threatening as possible,” Kaide tells Tazmin.

He pushes himself as if Tazmin were gaining the strength to walk into the cave, it takes a second for their eyes to adjust to the darkness and a little light that pulls them into the cave.

Their eyes immediately grey big in awe of what they just came across. It was Elise, her silver–snow fur now bristled with blood and dirt. She was at the far end of the cave, hunched over

But the minute she heard a sound, she stood up, making Kaide and Thz finally take on her full size, her lined streak of red hair between her eyes and her ears, and the power that her icy violet showed could bring a man to their full knees.

And that’s what they did; they bowed. “El,” Kaide says to Elise as the wolf turns to him; her growl stops momentarily as she peers at them, her large wolf head shifting from side to side, studying them.

From her scent, they knew it was her, but from the eye, they could tell it wasn’t Elise they were talking to; her wolf was moreMaterial © of NôvelDrama.Org.

in control

“Can you change for us, Red? Taz muttered quietly, but that soft gaze from the wolf’s eyes was immediately gone as she growled out, a warning for them to touch her.

They walked back out to see their men waiting in anticipation. “Any luck?”

“None at all; it seems we have to wait for Rygan to come; he will soon be here,” Taz says, and Kaide couldn’t help feeling this gut–wrenching disappointment that Elise didn’t answer his call.

“Her consciousness is fully locked deep within her wolf; it has control of her right now; only an alpha–forced command can break a wolf out of things like this, Taz explains.

“So what can we do to help Elise?” One of the wolves asked, confused as to what they could do.

“We protect the cave and her, and we wait, Kaide says. “That’s all we can do.”

It takes a few hours before they hear the heavy sound of fast, mighty waves approaching. It was Rygan in his wolf form, with a large quilt he carried in his canine.

“Where is she?” he asked telepathically, with both Kaide and Taz looking at themselves, unsure of what to explain to their alpha first.

“She is in a captive state. Her mind is locked. She doesn’t want to talk to us. I could smell blood on her. I’m afraid she is wounded, but she won’t let us get close,” Kaide says quietly

The short explanation was all Rygan needed as he walked to the cave in his wolf form: “I want the grounds cleared at least thirty feet away from here, no one comes near the cave till I give a signal. He tells the whole troop and his brothers.

“Yes, Alpha,” they bow in respect. Rygan makes his way to the cave and into the darkness. Not caring about the feral wolf waiting.

All he wants is to get Elise back, and he is going to do just that. He was going to get his El back.
