3 Territory Escape

The wolf was running as fast as he could for five whole minutes, but no matter how much he ran, the scent of the alpha was all over the place, only beginning to get weaker when he hears the howling of wolves.

'Shit! Shit! How big is the Alpha territory? It is impossible for me to escape the territory before the wolves reach me!' The wolf was already starting to run out of breath, his lungs seemed to be burning, but he dared not slow down for a second.

'I have to find something to use as a defense, if these wolves come near me, I will never be able to bite or use my claws on them!' The wolf runs while looking for anything useful on the ground.

'There, that of helping a little.' The wolf sees a piece of twig with a sharp tip that was not too big or too small which would not hinder his escape, without slowing the speed he picks up the stick in his mouth with reflections he never imagined to have.

'It has its advantages in being a dog relative, it has never been easier to catch a twig' The wolf tries to relieve his tension with a joke, but soon begins to hear the sounds of the blue wolves approaching.

'Shit! These wolves are trying to kill an eight-day-old cub and one of them is probably my father!' The wolf shakes his head to ward off his useless thoughts, because the sounds of the blue wolves are getting closer.

While the Wolf ran, he noticed a moving bush and a blue wolf comes out of it and advances in its direction with a mouth full of teeth ready to grind he in to pieces.

The wolf swings the twig towards the head of the blue wolf with the intention of taking it down, but ends up slipping and pierces the mouth of the blue wolf with the twig severely hurting him, the wolf loosens the twig without hesitation and continues running while feeling the blood of the blue wolf in his body, leaving him with a horrible feeling.

The other blue wolves arrive at the site seconds later and stop atonic with sight, one of the ten elite Wolves was dead with their head impaled, they know that this blue wolf died because they underestimated the cub, but that does not prevent them from feeling an intense rage , the air around the blue wolves gets cold and their eyes begin to shine, they start hunting the wolf with more ferocity than before.

'Is it my impression or is it getting colder?' The wolf gets confused with the sudden change of climate, but keeps running, while jogging he looks back and sees ten wolves chasing after them, all with eyes shining blue.

'That Wolf has died, there is no other explanation for them to get even more serious, even if I have another twig I can do something, what I have left is to run!' The wolf begins to take his body to the limit to run faster.

While the wolf ran he feels the ground tremble, his instincts say that if he does not divert will die, in a moment the wolf changes direction, causing his paw to get hurt, but the moment he left the place, an ice thorn large enough to break it in half popped off the ground.

'Shit! They can use magic! I never saw them using magic, I thought we were at the most wolves of a rare breed' The wolf gets surprised and his fear increases on several levels, he looks back and sees a ice thorn flying in his direction, he manages to divert from the thorn by a few centimeters , but more ice thorns were coming towards him.

'I have to find a tighter path, this should prevent all of them from coming at once' the wolf begins to walk through places where the trees are closest, this ends up demanding more of him who was already with the injured paw, but also decreases the number of ice thorn flying in your direction.

'The smell of the alpha is decreasing, the territory is almost over!' The wolf keeps running and the attacks are getting more and more frequent, the blue wolves had not reached him yet because the places where he ran made it difficult for the blue wolves with the triple of his size come close, but if he made a mistake he would be impaled by the ice thorns.

'If I cross that river I must leave the territory of the alpha!' The wolf animates when he sees a river 5 meters wide, the smell of the alpha was already very weak and if he passed by the river he would escape successfully.

The wolf sees that in the river there is something like a bridge of stones and they run towards them, at some point the blue wolves stopped attacking him and seemed only to observe.

'That! The smell of the alpha is gone.' The wolf stop in the middle of the bridge of Stones and looks back, on the riverbank he could see the blue wolves to look at him angrily, which caused a sadness in the wolf, after all even though it was little time he saw them as a family , and now this family was trying to kill him and he had killed a relative, in this whirlwind of feelings that he felt the strongest was the sensation that felt when the blood of the blue wolf fell on its body and that still feels.

'Huff, I didn't expect my Happy days as a wolf cub would end up like this ' The Wolf begins to walk the stones quickly to get as fast as possible to the shore, he was afraid that if he stayed long the blue wolves would return to the to pursue.

'If my mom was awake, maybe it wouldn't have happened. ' The wolf thinks about how his mother and the other females were always asleep, he did not know if it was because he slept when they woke up or something else, but he knew that if his mother had woken up, the situation would probably be different, be for better with him not being hunted or for worse with his mother and females hunting him.

The moment the wolf reached the riverbank he felt a tremor and looked at the river where he passed.

'What the!?' The wolf looks with wide eyes to a wave that came through the river, this wave was dragging everything on the riverbanks, but what left the wolf really worries was what caused the wave.

An absurd number of what would be fish was along with this wave, they were at most 10 centimeters, but a gigantic mouth full of teeth, and they seemed to be very hungry, for they were eating their equals, earth, wood, sands, anything that was taken by the wave.

'I have to get out of here fast!' The wolf starts running to get out as far as possible gives the riverbank.

After running for a safe distance the wolf for and observing the wave of starving fish passing by and feels their hairs chilling thinking of the death that would suffer if it had been a little slower.

'At least the wolves were gone, but I'm sure my situation hasn't improved much, I just don't have magic wolves chasing me,but if there are these fish in the river, what else can there be in this forest?' The wolf thinks as he walks through the forest looking for some safe place to rest and soon finds a tree with a hole where he could enter and hide.

'I wonder what will happen from now on...' The Wolf falls asleep in the hole while he thinks about what the future awaits him.

As the wolf fell asleep on the other side of the river the blue wolves returned to the field where they left along with the dead blue wolf's body.

"what happened!?" The alpha question surprised to see the dead blue wolf, among all the possibilities he thought of none of this was expected, at most they would return with some slight injury.

"We also don't know, when we arrived at the site he was dead with his head impaled by a twig." The Beta speaks with a rage obvious in his voice.

"I think we should go back to hunting him, but I'd like to know your opinion." The Beta looks at the alpha waiting for the order to go back and kill the pup.

"No, don't forget the situation we're in." Alpha disagrees with Beta's suggestion.

"But that'll be quick, we just don't kill him because of the Hungry River." Beta tries to convince the Alpha, but nothing he talks about makes the Alfa change his mind.

"Are you denying because he's your son?" The angry Beta question, listening to the words of Beta all the blue wolves look for the alpha waiting for his answer.

"No, but because the females are in hibernation because of the breeding ritual, and from now on began the attacks of humans" The Alfa responds calmly as it points to the females sleeping in the field.

"Do not forget at this time we have to take care of the females and the children, because they are very vulnerable during this month. And the humans know it, it's been eight days, humans must be close to our territory and leaving it is not an option. " The Alfa calmly explains why he denied the request of Beta, with the words of the Alpha all ten Blue wolves calm their rage and remember why they were in the forest and not along with the whole pack.

"Sorry, I lost my temper for a moment." Beta lowers his head in repentance and the other blue wolves follow the example.

"But I cannot deny that we are in a troubling situation, if at only eight days of age the corrupted creature killed one of us what will happen if he decides to return for revenge?" The Alpha lowers his head as he thinks, the other blue wolves realize that they are in a complicated situation, after all they have a monster growing close to their territory, but they can't leave the territory to stop it.

"After the females wake up and recover our number one priority will be hunting and killing the corrupted creature, even if he has demonstrated a bit of talent during the escape it is impossible for him to survive if we all attack him at once" the Alpha speaks while looks at the dead blue wolf's body, if he could feel an anger in his voice, he didn't seem to have any hesitation when he talked about killing his own son or maybe he didn't consider himself his son anymore.

"I hope he's lucky enough to find the humans, after all we're already considered precious materials he's literally a treasure chest that walks." The Beta comments sarcastically and all the blue wolves including alpha agree mentally.

"Well, everyone return to their posts, humans must begin to appear in our territory in no more than two days, until they are fully prepared. And someone please bury him" The Alpha points to the dead blue wolf's body and goes back to the middle of the field where it usually stands.

With the words of the alpha each wolf goes to its respective location and one of them begins to dig a hole, at night all wolves including cubs go to the place where the blue wolf was buried and howl to the moon, so the day of the blue wolves ends.
