Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

‘We are coming, Amie,’ Martin mind linked me.

‘Be careful. There are a lot of them outside. I can keep the cave safe for a while if they discover it. Don’t do anything

foolish,’ I told him. I heard the wolf outside get closer. My wolf and I both focused on the sound. I could tell the moment

the wolf saw the opening, they stopped moving and I could hear them scenting the air. There was no way they could

avoid catching my scent now that they focused on the opening. A growl was heard and it was accompanied by others. Oh great, they have made up in order to kill us, I thought. The moment I saw a black paw in the opening of the cave, I

lunged at it and sank my claws into it before drawing back just as quickly. The paw disappeared back out and a new set

of growls was heard. Next a grey wolf tried to rush into the cave. They hadn’t taken the size of the cave into account and

their forward movement halted as they lowered themself to the ground. I again jumped forward, and this time I swiped

at their eyes with my claws. They turned their heads at the last second, but couldn’t turn all the way because of the

narrow opening. My claws ripped deep gouges into their cheek and I shredded their left ear. They roared and tried to

swipe out their claws at me. I jumped back and due to their awkward position, they couldn’t pursue me. I jumped

forward again. This time I aimed my claws at their throat and shoulder. The grey wolf turned around and snapped its

teeth at my paw. I withdrew it to avoid the razor-sharp teeth, but in doing so, I left my left shoulder exposed. I could feel

the claws digging into it and I roared. I took a page out of the attacker’s book and bent down and sank my teeth into its

paw. It was their turn to roar in pain, and I clamped down my jaw and refused to let go. They struggled against my bite,

but they were only halfway inside the cave and the small opening restricted their movements. I could hear their pack mates outside, trying to push past them to help. But there wasn’t enough space. I heard the bones in the paw snapping

and I felt it beneath my teeth. I wanted to spit it out, it felt gross as the warm blood seeped into my mouth. But I steeled

myself. As long as I had their paw, they were stuck, and the boys were safe. I growled and put more pressure on my jaws.

The grey wolf whimpered and in a desperate attempt to get free, they put weight on the paw in my mouth. The

extra weight made me lean my bad shoulder against the cave wall. I growled and
