(Excerpt of Sororate Chapter
One)
Just then the dread which had been growing in the pit of my stomach
became worse, as something else occurred to me. “The fence post with the nails
sticking out of it was deliberately left on the road. The Asian Werewolves who live nearby, use it
to stop travellers so they can eat them.”
“Great!” My mate growled as he
began to take off his clothes. “It’s
just what we need; man-eaters!”
I stood back to give him room as he quickly stripped so when he expanded
into his European Werewolf form, his clothes wouldn’t be torn to shreds. I too started to undress, as I took off my
jacket as well as my shoes and socks but I left on my t-shirt and shorts. My shorts would be safe as it was primarily
my upper-body that bulked up, and my t-shirt was made of a stretchy material.
My mate completely undressed within seconds and he tossed his clothes
and shoes onto the passenger’s seat along with mine. Then he stood back from his wife and the
vehicle to shape shift from his human body into his taller and wider
supernatural form.
Declan’s height almost doubled as his width tripled, whilst his skin
turned into a tough hide over his muscle bulk.
The nails on his hands and feet grew longer, sharper and pointier. I heard the soft cracking noises his bones
made as his human skull morphed into a canine’s head with a short, stubby snout
over razor sharp jaws. In his European
Werewolf body he could stand and walk upright but when he ran, it was on
all-fours.
I underwent a change of my own, as I felt my muscles bulk up and my
nails grow longer and sharper on my hands and feet. I felt my teeth turn elongated and sharp,
which jutted past my lips. The
surrounding night lit up as if it were day, thanks to my Werewolf eyes as my
dark blue colour turned glowing turquoise.
Although we were fairly sure the Asian Werewolves wouldn’t try to eat
us, we didn’t trust man-eaters as they were dangerous. With my night vision, I saw them come out
from between the dark trees and bushes.
At first they looked like ordinary wolves, except all of their eyes were
glowing white with tiny black pupils in the centre. They all appeared alike; thin builds with
silvery grey fur. My acute hearing
picked up the sniffing noises they made as they tracked our scent. I counted ten of them appear from the night
as they fanned out to surround us.
The European Werewolf emitted a dangerously, low growl to warn them
off. He soon sniffed out who the leader
was, as he stood on his hind legs to tower over his foe. He moved to stand in front of me with his
larger size to show the head Asian Werewolf that I was his mate and therefore
under his protection. The snarling in
return from his henchmen or hench-wolves I should say, didn’t seem to
appreciate this.
Oh oh, don’t tell me they’re attracted to my Lokoti Werewolf pheromones
too? Frickin’ hell, Declan was right; he
really CAN’T take me anywhere! My
husband roared loudly at the Asian Werewolves to back off, but instead of
moving away they began to circle.
Just then one of the Asian Werewolves tried to snap at my arm but
Declan, in lightening fast speed, swatted the creature and sent him flying
through the air!
The Asian Werewolf landed over twenty meters away thanks to my mate’s
greater strength. It whined in pain when
it hit the ground however it was quick to return to all-fours and rejoin its
pack. They kept circling whilst snarling
or sniffing, as if they were trying to smell a weakness in our defences.
The European Werewolf remained upright on his hind legs as he gently
pushed me against the car with himself in front, to act as my shield.
“Maybe we should instantaneously phase out of here?” I asked in my deep, rumbling Werewolf voice.
But my husband shook his large canine head to say ‘no’ whilst his
glowing green eyes never left his foe.
The Circulator in me wanted to phase the both of us to Alaska , but my Lokoti Werewolf instincts
stayed this thought. They warned that
the Asian Werewolves wanted to kill my mate and kidnap me, to try to force me
to become their concubine or some nonsense.
I sensed if we did take flight the Asian Werewolves would pursue,
thinking that they were the dominant because we ran away.
I remember reading in the SSIT Report that Asian Werewolves were the
best trackers of all the breeds. If they
pursued, we would have to relocate to a different time period to throw them off
our scent! If we did instantaneously
phase back to Alaska
and they came after us, it could put the humans of the tribe at stake, and that
was something that my overprotective Lokoti Werewolf instinct was not prepared
to do. It was best to fight it out, here
and now to declare our dominance.
Besides, looking on my mate’s huge, hulking, hairless European Werewolf
body, actually made me think that we were dealing with a stupid bunch of males
anyway. No matter how much they wanted
to use me to try to breed, they were going to go up against Declan looking like
that…?
My mate may have been bigger and stronger but unfortunately Asian
Werewolves were faster. They started to
run around in a circle, speeding up so much that they began to look like a
silvery blur! As they ran, I noticed
that they were beginning to move closer.
Declan growled fiercely and swung out his strong claw, but he missed…
and then it was on!
Three Asian Werewolves leapt on the European Werewolf in lightening fast
speed and the one in the middle went right for his throat! Before I could come to his aid, another two
leapt on top of the car and grabbed me from behind to pull me away. They thought by separating us, it would
weaken us.
My mate swatted off two of his attackers with his greater strength. Then he lifted up the Asian Werewolf that was
trying to rip out his throat and he looked like he was about to snap the
creature’s back! But before he could,
another five leapt upon him!
“Declan!” My thunderous voice roared at the sight of the five Asian
Werewolves all biting into and clawing at him!
Using my light speed reflexes, I managed to whip myself out of the two
Werewolves jaws. Next, I turned around
and used my Lokoti Werewolf strength to belt them both so hard, they flew ten
meters away! Then I grabbed onto two of
the Asian Werewolves who were on my husband’s large back. I pried apart their jaws with my greater
strength, to force them to release him.
Lastly, I too belted these two away.
They rolled away on the ground, but were quick to leap back to their
feet. By trying to use their faster
moves to leap on top, they still hadn’t cottoned on that I was a Circulator
too. Moving in the speed of light with
my self-defence moves, I ducked from one then I caught and flipped the other to
the ground.
I continued to fight this way and the more I threw to the ground, or
aside, or belted away; the weakened they became. I was fighting four Asian Werewolves and
Declan was fighting off six. Two of his
enemies went flying into a tree from one of his wallops! They collapsed to the ground, bleeding
profusely thanks to his larger claws. My
mate and I fought side by side, as our foes began to falter.
When I whipped one foe across the snout with my claw-like nails,
cracking open its jaw, it yelped in pain.
Three down and seven to go… As
one tried to go for my throat, Declan caught it in mid-air as he roared in
fury! He lifted up my attacker into the
air above and this time he did snap its’ back!
The Asian Werewolf dropped to the ground like a sack and didn’t get up
again. Four down and six to go…
Next, I pulled off one of the Werewolves which were trying to bite into
the back of my mate’s bulky neck. I
delivered several punches into its rib cage with my supernatural strength,
before I flung it into the air and it landed fifteen meters away. It too didn’t get up again. Five down and five to go… or so I thought.
