Dominica Verda's P.O.V.

The rules of survival states kill or be killed!!

It's been four days since Dominica killed the man who turned wolf in the woods and it seems no one knew or found the body of the beast she killed which means there are others out their. After that night Dominica made some research about the beast she saw in the dark woods, and the internet called them, beasts, lycanthropes, wolves or werewolves..

All the same they are animals that needs to be hunted and what better way for her to spend her Saturdays. Besides according to her research they hunt in packs which means his little buddies must have seen her kill their kind so it's better for her to kill them all than to wait in her home and be killed in her sleep.

Dominica relaxed Into the jacuzzi tub at the back of her mansion, she's had a stressful week. Having to kill a beast and also prepare for her next hunt on Saturday. She made sure to gear up with the proper ammunition, this time she's not heading to the woods with just a pistol or riffle . Hunting is a thrilling game when you have the right tools like a 44 Magnum which is the minimum for charging bears, many others have opted for a Glock 20 in 10mm Auto and, interestingly enough, passed right by the . 357 S&W Magnum. Several folks have even successfully killed bears with a 9mm. While a well-placed shot from a 10mm can no doubt do the trick, which means it might be a good weapon to kill a lycan or beast or whatever they're called..

She grabbed her wine glass taking a sip from it as she sighed out in relief...

Just when she thought blue bridge was becoming a boring town, she now has a new hobby!

"We're going to have excess fur coats Gerald, Ohh maybe I'll make you one if you remain a good little doggie"She says cooing to the dog that sat obediently next to the tub staring at her...

OKAY WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?

DID THE MOON GODDESS MAKE A MISTAKE?

WHY DID SHE GRANT THE CRIMSON SHADOW PACK A LUNA WHO WANTS TO SHED THEIR FURS AND MAKE THEM INTO LUXURIOUS FUR COATS!!

SOMEONE SEND A WARNING SIGNAL TO FENRIS BECAUSE HE'S HEADING INTO THE WRONG DIRECTION!!

Few minutes later, Dominica felt drowsy and sleepy, sighing she walked out naked from the tub picking up her robe and covering herself. As she picked up her wine glass she saw the feet of a man..

"Not tonight!"She mustered as she glanced up to stare at the owner of those feet.

"Oh it's you? Thought you were dead"Dominica says shocked as she stared at the very man she had shot in the woods. His perfect handsome face glowing under the moon light, he was naked although this time he seems to be covered with a pink towel.

"Wait is that my towel?"Dominica asks as she stared down his waistline scrunching her nose in disapproval.

"You're going to ruin it, besides why hide that body of yours. You looked good the last time we met"Dominica says as she jerked the towel away from his waist, Fenris stared at her speechless and shocked at her reaction and words...

"I don't think you should be worried about a towel. Jeez she's a maniac dude"A quirky voice says behind her and she turned to stare at the newcomers voice.

"Oh good, you brought a friend and I can kill you both together again"She says smirking as she takes a sip from her wine glass moving to sit casually on a chair.

"You're coming with us, and if you're looking for your guns we made sure to take care of it. During our last encounter you already exhibited your love for shooting things"Fenris says sternly..

"Oh, am helpless now. Who's going to save me?"She says gasping out dramatically before laughing out loudly with no care of the world..

"Is that supposed to sound sarcastic? Am confused here"the browned haired quirky newcomer says stuttering, he then went to whisper something in the ear of the beast I killed the other night..

"You're coming with us, now"The beast says as he approached her grabbing her roughly, she swooned laughing letting the wine glass slip from her hand dramatically..

"Oops now I'll have to clean that up"She says giggling..

"Why are you in such a hurry anyway. You came into my town, my house and my territory to what? Order me around? Take me or to put it correctly kidnap me?"She asks with a skeptical look on her face as she stared at him, staring deep into his eyes. That's when she spotted what she was searching for, his weakness. The first time they met he had stared at her like she was his whole world and when she had shot him he looked broken and hurt..

"You're inlove with me?"She says with an amused look in her eyes. She pulled away from him as she saw him shake and hesitate.

"Weird I would have known you or at least remembered you if you were one of my admirers or one night stands but funny enough you aren't human and also you do have a pretty face so I would not have forgotten you if we had met"She continues saying as she watched him carefully with scrutiny.

"We have to go"He says going to take a grab at her but she walked back..

"No am not going anywhere, why should I leave my home for a nobody?"She says tactfully..

"Because you're mine and mine alone. It's been destined and written in the stars that you're to be mine"He snarls out in anger at her words and denial of him..

"Ohh there he is, the wolf I wanted to see. Sorry to burst your bubble pretty face, I'm not leaving everything I built to go run in the forest with you besides I don't want to die from a bee sting or in your hands. The goal is to die rich sipping wine or whiskey in an airplane or in my tub so get the hell out of my house, guns is not the only weapon am good with"She says dominantly as she walks in front of him staring and growling at him..

"You don't understand, you need to come with me. I need you, we all need you. You don't have a choice"He says dryly with a look of frustration on his face..

She suddenly laughed sardonically

"So have heard, leaves my property"She says smiling and smirking wickedly..

"Am sorry for what am about to do next but you don't have a choice in this matter"He says as he takes a threatening step towards her..

Dominica swallowed dryly as she begun to comprehend the game he's about to play. It's obvious he isn't here to kill her but it's also obvious he wants to take her to someplace she knows nothing about. A place that dosen't have her phone, laptop, money, and her money someplace far from her home and sport cars.

"Well am sorry too. I can't let a bunch of strange men barge into my home to kidnap me without a fight or struggle, that will be an insult to my mentor and sensei"She says coyly..

"Luna we don't want to hurt you. We have no intention of doing that"The other stranger musters..

"But you already did. You barged into my home and territory, threatened me, ruined my expensive towel from Greece, and made me pour my glass of vintage wine so tell me which of all these isn't an act of hurting me"She says as she stretches. They stared at her with a strange and skeptical look as they listened and watched, suddenly she settled into a fighting stance..

Okay boys, listen up. This is going to end one way, you successfully taking me away from my home but definitely not alive but with my blood on your hands or me beating the crap out of you and turning your furs into pretty winter coats"She says laughing.

"Although I prefer the later" She says mockingly as she tried to provoke them and it did work. It seems telling wolves that you intend to use their furs as your personal coat made them mad and angry..

"Don't hurt her, just make sure to grab her"The blue eyed one says and they moved to my direction. They began to loom over her and the number one tip of fighting multiple opponents is, do not let them trick you into a triangle because if they do you're cornered.

Dominica stepped back, slowly and strategically backing away little by little avoiding to be cornered by them, because that situation almost certainly means she will lose because they are definitely bigger than her. Once she moved to a desired location she began to surround them moving closely to them, she took small, quick steps with her feet to stay agile and to keep moving around in small increments making sure to keep her opponents in a line by slowly backing away from them yet again to allow her to attack one person without being exposed to attack by other.

Numerically calculating and with luck and the odds on her side, they were huge while she was a bit short she went for her targets weak spots hitting both of them swiftly and quickly by their temples, groin, knees, and solar plexus. They both groan out in pain, her attack seems to fuel their hunger to win since they were dominant creatures. And so they go in again to grab her, this time she slides under them in her tiny robe making sure to punch them hard both in the nose to disorient them.

But it seems the more punches and strikes she delivered they seem to heal up quite nicely and recover almost immediately.

Shit!!

Going for plan B, she attacks their pressure points, hitting them where could slow them down the quickest..

"Enough games. Time to go home"He growls as he rushes in front of her grunting in pain and anger as he grabbed a hold of her she then pulled the little accessory knife she used in holding up her hair.

She stabbed the hand he used in grabbing her elbow, he hissed out in pain blood dripping from his hand it's a sliver knife blade she specifically made for herself...

"Take one more step and I'll end this charade"She says sighing out tiredly...

It seems fighting werewolves can be tiring even for Dominica..

"You're here for me aren't you? Since you don't want to leave I'll give you what you want but like I promised, my blood will be on your hands"She says smiling as she grabs the blade to slit her wrist..

"Stop, please. We'll leave"The look of anger vanished from his eyes and it was replaced with fear and devastation.

"No? Things just got more fun, you barged into my domain remember? I wonder what will happen if I slit this wrist and bleed out. My blood dripping out of my vein gushing out like water"She says laughing out loud

"I would love to see the look on your face, or should I stab my neck instead? That should do the trick"She says nonchalantly

WHAT DID I TELL YOU, SHE'S A PSYCHOPATH!

"Stop. Please, Take it off now" The man demanded as he began to walk close to her but with every step he took the knife seems to Pierce deep into her skin. She stood with a bored look on her face as she stabbed herself continuously..

The knife seems to burn at her skin, making her woozy as she continued to Pierce and slash at her wrist but she didn't care...

Dominica has always seen life as a game of chess!!

"I heard Applying pressure helps reduce the amount of blood loss and gives you time to seek medical attention. A ruptured varicose vein may not stop bleeding, and without medical attention may result in a serious amount of blood loss. Excessive blood loss can, of course, be a very serious problem that can even lead to death."She says robotically as she stared at him coldly..

"If you don't leave, I'll keep jabbing at both wrist and am no scientist nor doctor but I know, I'll die if I don't get medical attention"She says swiftly to him, still nipping and jabbing at both wrist now. Blood spurting and gushing out of both hands, she neither winced or gasped out in pain. She just kept digging into both wrist with the knife.

"You still won't leave huh?"She questions him, her lips turning chapped and white from the loss of blood.

"You're my forever, how can I leave when you're hurting yourself. Drop the knife please"He cries out at her and the knife dropped from her now trembling hand she falls immediately in the pool of blood she made..

“You made me do this. Does it upset you…” she whispers, “to not be able to take another one?”Shs asks smirking, her voice weak from blood loss..

The strange beast snarled at her..

“Quiet don't say a word. You stubborn woman, did you have to cut yourself to prove your point?”The man hisses, and the other stranger standing around them was silent.

She struggled to open her eyes saying. "Yes because I needed to win, you should've seen the look on your face. It was priceless"She met his blue eyes and saw the raw desperation within and watched him quickly scan the ground and splash his hand in a puddle of her blood. He was not touching her, but her blood.

“What are you doing?” she asked even as her vision clouded over. His hand ran over his bare chest, drawing deep red lines against pale white canvas. It was a symbol she could barely recognize.

“What the ancient fuck are you up to.” She gasped, her surprise awakening her for a moment.

.

His eyes met hers, a wild gleam in them, as he reached for her. “You will not die,” he hisses. “You will be with me, always.” "you're mine"..

"That's the same as saying my money is yours and it isn't, I already signed my wealth to be given away to charity and my corpse to be shared and divided for whoever is in need of an organ donor"She says coughing and laughing..

"Even in this type of situation, you still make jokes"He says baffled..

"Hmm you should know by now that I don't make empty promises"She says sighing peacefully, before he could think of a quick comeback she was gone...

FENRIS'S P.O.V

He touched her skin but She was too far gone to feel it..

It can't be!

His Luna can't just bleed out and die just like that??

It's never been done or heard of!!!

To him, it felt like everything he never had in his hundreds years of life rested within the battered girl. Meanwhile, all she felt was a moment of utter loss as her last defense crumbled away. She didn’t even feel the pain so much when he hauled her into his arms and walked back to the forest.

She was already gone.

She was not dead. She couldn’t be. He had tried to use a protective rune to touch her, to bring her back. She wasn’t dead.

Not now?

Getting back to the pack village and meeting with the the pack healer who looked sad and was shaking his head yet again.

She can't be dead.What were they all so sad about when she couldn’t be dead?

She was fighting off him and Jace and the next minute she's gone?

Impossible?

He pushed past everyone. They all crowded him when he fell in front of the healer’s door, begging for the battered girl’s life, panting from running so fast just to get her there. They had flocked around the old house and inside of it, in the small back room where the healer worked her magic. There were too many people.

He pushed the healer away as gently as he could in his desperation, his hands touching the beautiful and defiant face of his mate. She wasn’t dead. See, she just couldn’t be. Her chest wasn’t moving, sure, and he couldn’t hear a heartbeat with those magnificent ears of his, but she wasn’t dead. That would be impossible because he had waited a hundred year for her and all he got was a bloody symbol on his chest and her dying breaths while he held her, running through the woods.

She couldn’t be dead.

He grabbed onto her shoulders, running his hands through that tangled mess of the hair on her head and wiping smears of blood from her wrist . A hand rested on his shoulder. It was his second in command talking to him, telling him he was so sorry, that they’d have a ceremony, and that it was a great loss for the whole pack. But then again, she wasn’t dead.

He dosen't believe it!

The king snarled and threw his friend’s hand from his shoulder. “She’s not dead.” He growled, standing to face the room. He was still naked and caked in dirt and this time instead of his blood he's covered in his mate’s blood.

"She’s gone, Fen, There’s no getting her back.”

“Out!” he roared because these were accursed words they were whispering. “Get out!”

He waited for years and now she’s gone?

His shoulders shuddered violently, not his wolf but his human, trembling from the weight of it. Inside of him.

The people were atonished as they stood in shock watching their king cry, it's something that has never happened but it's almost near impossible for a wolf to not mourn his beloved. The pack members all understood their Alpha's pain, they all knew there's something too deep about this pain. It was too pure for the tears to mean anything. She was gone. She was really, really gone.

“We’ll do a proper queen’s burial,”Jace muttered under his breath as their entire pack was shuddering, crying, and howling from the pain of their king and the pain of losing their new queen. “She was a part of us already, We’ll send her off like one.”

He turned and fell to his knees by his girl… his beautiful, breathtaking girl, the only piece of himself that was missing. He only heard her voice, defiant and strong. a brief enough encounter to know she was perfect. Gods, everything about her had been so perfect. She would’ve been the perfect queen, the perfect mate, and the perfect human to rule a pack of beasts.

But no longer. She wasn’t here anymore. She couldn’t feel his hand on her unbroken arm as his fingers brushed over her skin, stroking it, not believing how soft she was, how gone she was, and how quickly her skin was cooling.

There was nothing more… nothing more inside of him or before him, or anything else he could even think about. He just has his dead mate lying in the healer’s room with his pack helplessly staring. Gods, their howls wasn’t helping, an unbearable pain held in each ripping sound.

Should he curse out to the moon goddess for giving her to him and taking her away?

Suddenly amidst his thoughts, she sat up with her eyes opened, widely and very much alive. Her eyes were everywhere at once, and her heartbeat was roaring back to life. It was so loud in his ears, he could only stare back. The entire pack fell into silence as they felt life rush back into their pack just as it was restored into her body.

And then she said the most annoyingly vain words but it still sounded like music to his ears..

"Did you drag me out of my house without at least covering me up with a top or skirt! For crying out loud I have a wardrobe filled with designers and yet you dragged me into the forest with just a freaking robe on"She screeches at him, staring at him with an annoyed look on her face..

"Fuck you and thank you for ruining my brand"She say curses her tongue up and running again..
