The Alpha's throne

Chapter 12 : Beta

The woman took her knife then command her to silence for a while. The bandits started to sniff the area to find them. Clona move forward on her hands and knees by dragging her body close to the ground. She silently put her ear to the ground as she listen to the enemies footstep. Even though, she is on her human form. She still have an extraordinary abilities like super sense of hearing.

The woman crawl beneath the table while holding a knife. Their heart, beating fast as they want to calm their selves. They look at each other and nod. Clona point her finger to the left window. The woman understood and crawl back to hide.

A moment of silence, both of them get their selves ready. They can hear the wolf howl's outside. A cricket and a night time birds sound, overflow the entire night.

The woman's hand was shaking while holding her knife. Clona crawl towards the right window and sneak a peek through the hole. She didn't see any bandits at the outside. She lean her ears and tried to listen the outside's surrounding but she haven't heard any bandits.

She took a deep breath and stood up. She open the window and look outside to make sure but there's no enemy. She turn her back and smile at the woman "I guess they are gone".

The woman hurriedly crawl towards her and stood up. She look at the window and its true that the enemy's are gone. She make a sound of relief and look at her "Thank you". Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Clona just smiled and hurriedly open the door to get out but suddenly she was stop when someone pulled her hair at the side corner. She was treeified when she saw the group bandits waiting at them at the other side of the door while some of them was, at the top of roof.

She gulp then look at the woman and mumble "run". The woman's leg was shaking and could not move an inch. She look above and saw a three wolf looking at her.

'Jeez~ Is this really the end of me? ' she mumble

Clona tried to calm herself and look at the bandits. She blink for a while and keep herself calm. She took a long breath and started to talk to them "We- we don't want to uhm we don't want a fight". There's no way she can say a damn word. Just seeing them makes her body feel shiver.

She's afraid.

She look below and bite her lips. She's scared to utter a single word. She keeps looking at the ground hoping that she have a power that can help her escape this situation but No!. She can't even control her own power. She's afraid to shape shift into her wolf form.

She can't make a loss at her form cause there's a woman who will suffer at the end. She's afraid of hurting her. The only hope she have is someone might come and help them but it's impossible.

She close her eyes and ready to accept her fate when she heard a large howl at the distance. She saw a black fur wolf running towards them. "A beta wolf? " she mumble.

The beta wolf keep on howling. The bandits get their selves ready for a fight but they step back when they saw how large the beta wolf is. "Was a beta wolf was this size? ".

The beta wolf was larger that her father's wolf form. 'Is he really a beta or an Alpha' she though while looking at the black fur wolf
