Prologue
Everything’s going to be alright, just slowly breathe in and out.
Gale slowly controlled his breathing; his body began to ease from trembling with fear. Not long, he carefully raised himself to all four. His eyes still tightly shut, he bristled opened his ears off his head only then he jolted back in alarmed as he heard bursts of mad roars and barks.
He gulped, I need to do something. He took a deep breath and then exhaled as he gradually opened his eyes. The brutalism before him was intense; the bear’s pelt was partly covered in blood and so were his pack mates, two wolves were limply laying on the ground soaked in blood. Please don’t die! It seemed that it would take more than 5 Alpha wolves to handle the monstrous creature; Gale’s heart began to pump faster and his legs began trembling once more. He needed to help his pack mates but how could he? He couldn’t even help himself to move.
With one mighty blow, the bear sent the remaining three wolves flying. They were thrown to the ground with yelps of pain. Get up! Gale pleaded inside himself, but none of them did, they were far too injured to battle the beast any longer. The hunting patrol would be back soon along with more Alphas but there was no time sitting idly waiting for them, the bear was already moving half way into the nursery; which were full of innocent cubs! He couldn’t let more blood to be shed; he couldn’t bear to see more demise.
“Help, please anyone save my cub!” A she-wolf darted out from the nursery with a petit cub dangling by the scruff in-between her teeth, her face was filled with terror as her cub squealed in fear. The pack leader’s mate! She caught the bear’s attention and made it start running toward her; it showed its sharp teeth with only one thing in its head: “Kill wolves!”
The bear advanced faster and faster, as fast as its legs could carry it. The she-wolf tried to run faster but it was futile, the bear was much quicker than her. She tripped over a root of a tree and toppled to the hard ground as her cub rolled away from her grip.
She opened her eyes and struggled to stand despite the pain, she looked at Gale, her eyes filled with dismay. “Please save him!” She whined painfully, then her legs gave way and she fell to the ground with her eyes closed. No! Gale turned to the cub; its eyes were wide as an owl, gasping for breath rapidly. The helpless thing was too shock to move, it felt the same way as Gale was at the moment.
Gale needed to act fast! The bear was coming in seconds; it would devour them both if he just stood there and watch. The bear roared with fury, its bloodshot eyes set on the two helpless wolves. The stench of blood shot into Gale’s nose as the bear came closer; it was so strong that he could almost taste it. It was between the devil and the deep blue sea! Either saved the cub and let her die or vice versa. Neither of the choices could save them both.
Gale panicked, but then her words echoed in head. Please save him! Quick as a hare, Gale scooped the cub by the scruff right before the bear pounced on it. The bear muzzle was so close; Gale felt its hot reeking breath. As he ran with the cub away from harm’s way, he could hear the she-wolf yowled in agony as the bear devoured her alive. Wrong! Gale shook his head in dismay closing his eyes once more; what he did was wrong. He should had intercept and delayed the bear instead of running away with the cub, giving her and the cub enough time to recover and escape. Gale felt pain stung inside him as he heard another shriek of pain from her. There was nothing more he could do but flee. Forgive me, I was too afraid. Cnc guys :D if you guys think this is cool, then I'll continue the story lol. Thanks :3
