Chapter 6

KARA

….One year later

I ran and ran, looking over my shoulder to see if the village touts were following me only to hit a tree.

I shifted back a little bit to clear my eyes and regain my sight to see where I was going, only to come face to face with a tall huge werewolf.

He was a werewolf I could feel it, his energy called to me.

But he was a big angry werewolf. His chest was as broad as a tree, no wonder I thought I had hit a tree.

“Just where do you think you’re going?” He snarled.

I took a step back, my heart took a dive, compared to how big this werewolf was, I was like an ant in his sight.

With just one swipe of his hand he could bring the whole of my small frame to the ground.

I made to turn back only to see the village touts coming towards my direction.

Busted! I have been busted.

What will I do now?

“I believe you have something that belongs t’ me?” The Huge werewolf which was obviously the leader of the troupe said with so much anger, charging toward my direction.

I began to shift a little backwards, I was scared to death, I felt like I was going to end in the next couple of minutes.

“Nobody ever takes anything that belongs to me and goes scot free, ya see?” He said again breaking into a snort of laughter.

His other goons followed suit in an uproar of laughter.

I tried to run but there was no place to run to, all routes to escape had been guarded.

I was totally surrounded with all the touts and then the leader who was obviously very terrifying continued charging towards me.

“I’m so… I am sorry.” I screeched.

He was coming towards me with so much force that I was so scared of what he was going to do to me once he finally got a hold of me.

“Here, here! You can have it back.” I said with so much fear laced in my voice.

I’ll admit, the only time I have ever felt more fear than the way I felt now was when I thought Fenric was going to discover me sneaking into his room where Zulu my son was before kim had found me and booted me out of the rooms and of the pack as a whole.

I was the mess she had taken care of.

I quickly tamped down on my anger as a fresh desire for revenge coursed over me.

I swear by everything I held dear, I was going to get my revenge upon them all.

…. Just after I escaped from the clutches of this angry werewolf and his troupe .

I threw the bag of groceries and food items I had pilfered from the huge werewolf’s food shack back at him.

He ran a tavern and food house down town and I just happened to be there when the truck delivering his supplies came.

The truth was I really hadn’t planned to pilfer any of the foodstuff and groceries but I had been starving for days, I was terribly hungry, myself and my Zala.

I needed to get something. So this fateful afternoon I had been walking aimless downtown, in a bid to eventually find my way into the woods and see if I would actually find something edible in the woods.

Even if it was some fruits or wild berries.

I only needed food to survive and take care of my Zala. She was my only reason for still being alive in this world.

No! My Zala and my revenge upon Fenric and Kim were my only reason for being alive.

On my way to the woods was when I came across the truck which was delivering some food ingredients and groceries to the Tames tavern… that was the name of the Huge werewolf’s tavern.

I had looked and saw that nobody was there supervising the delivery, then and there, my survival instincts had kicked in, I grabbed a bag of groceries and food items and started running.

I had been wrong. People had been watching. The village touts that were behind me currently waiting for the huge werewolf to do whatever he wanted to do with me had been watching.

As soon as I had picked the bag of food items and groceries and started walking fast, I noticed that they had started following me from behind.

I broke into a run and they started following from behind and this was how things had led right up to this moment.

Now what would my fate be?

I was only just trying to survive? That was why I had taken what did not belong to me.

“Take it!” I pointed to the bag I had thrown on the floor as Tames ( I choose to call him Tames) charged towards me.

Tames guffawed in mock laughter. “ yer too late Lassie.” He said. “Ye woulda not taken my property at all.” Now am gonna need a double payment from ye.” He said in his gutter English. He was obviously not educated.

“Get er’ stayin’ in one place for me,” I heard him saying to his minions.

He began to inch towards me and then was reaching for his belt hook.

I already knew what he wanted to do.

No I couldn’t let him.

I won’t let another man violate me the way Fenric had done.

No, I was finally free from all the torment he had meted out on me in bed. I won’t let another man violate me the way I knew Tames was about to.

I would fight him with all that was in me.

With my new found resolve, I tried to gather up my momentum to fight back.

Yes, I knew that the fight was not a fair one, but I can swear that my desperation to not be treated and tormented cruelly the way Fenric had done gave me an upper edge.

Tames had gotten to where I was standing directly.

As his hands snaked out to touch me on my cheek, I flinched.

Tames laughed as he signalled two of his minions to hold me down.

While they both swaggered towards my direction, I was very much prepared to protect myself.

Yes, I would protect myself to the death.

As they neared me, we all turned towards the direction of the voice that made everyone pause mid action.

“Off your hands off that woman, you pig!”
