Chapter 2

Bellona's POV

Fear, uncontrollable fear that rattles you to your core. That is all I feel as I run towards the wolf threatening to end my grandfather's life. Then, all feeling in my body just leaves, I'm numb. It's like neither I nor my wolf has control. I can see the wolves I am taking down and the wounds they are inflicting on my body as I go, but I cannot feel any of it. I am getting closer to the wolf who is still airborne lunging for my grandfather. Milliseconds, that is all it took for me to fight through the chaos.

He is right in front of me as I begin to shift into my wolf, instantly feeling the pure rage coursing through my veins. So, I jump. Blow after blow I claw and bite at the wolf. I am almost positive I am pouring blood onto my fur but all I feel is the untouched rage running through me. I duck my head as the wolf tries to jump at my throat. As his upper body lowers to be above mine, I throw myself upward, flipping him onto his back, just where I want him. I lunge for his throat, but suddenly I am struck from my side causing me to land on my back. I quickly jump to my feet snarling at my new threat, ready to strike, only to find Jeremy, my grandfather's best friend, the pack's beta.

"WHAT THE HELL JEREMY?!" I scream through the mind link; I can see him visibly flinch from my tone. "I had him why the fuck would you interfere?!"

"Bell, you need to shift back." he calmly replies.

"Like HELL I do! Where is that stupid rouge?! I'm finishing wh-"

"SHIFT BELLONA!" He demands while also cutting me off

Neither I nor my wolf takes kindly to his tone or his command. In the end, after taking a moment to calm me and my wolf, I reluctantly go behind a nearby tree, shifting back into my human form. I grab a shirt and pair of shorts that are hidden there and throw them on. I take a step to head back to Jeremy but immediately feel immense pain throughout my body. I scream.

"AHHHH!!! WHAT IN GODDESS'S NAME?!"

I collapse onto the forest floor; I see Jeremy and two other warriors run towards me.

"SHIT! Bellona do not move! Your injuries are extremely severe!" I hear Jeremy plead with me while I am still trying to get up. But after hearing his pleas I give up and begin to feel dizzy. I can hear voices around me, but they are coming and going.

"How is she alive?!"

"Oh, goddess!"

"DOCTOR!"

Then, nothing, complete silence. I can vaguely see figures of other people running towards me right before black spots start to invade my already blurred vision until all I see is darkness
