The Triplet Warriors and Their Pup Mate novel Chapter 4

~Ellie's Point of View~

I silently cursed myself for a second and now I was afraid I would pee my pants. The wolves started spreading out but thankfully none were coming anywhere near me … for now.

I worked on steadying my heartbeat, but I didn’t know if that was even possible given the insane situation I would myself in. I cursed Tyson, I cursed all of them. But really, I knew this was my fault.

I led them here, surely I did. Now this peaceful pack would suffer, all because they were kind enough to take me in. I had to fight, if I even took one of them out, at least I tried. Hopefully no one would expect me to have a knife, and maybe I could slit their throat.

A couple wolves shrieked and howled as they stepped on the silver spikes trying to go into houses, and I suppressed a snicker. None of our pack made a move, and I was dying to know why, or what their strategy was supposed to be.

Then I suddenly heard a couple wolves cry out, and I saw arrows being shot out of trees, surely with silver tips. In the blink of an eye more vehicles came, and suddenly there were easily another two dozen men shifting into their wolves.

My heart sank and I felt a massive sense of doom. Of hopelessness. This was it. I immediately changed my strategy and knew I was likely going to have to take the cowards way out. They would not take me alive. I’d rather slit my own throat than be Tyson’s mate.

It was after a few minutes of the wolves stirring that he appeared ... Alpha Gunner. He jumped on top of a picnic table, still in his human form, but the aura emanating from him was enough to make anyone in front of him submit. He was very tall and fit, he had dark brown hair that went just to his shoulders. He was unbelievably good looking, there was no she-wolf that didn’t gawk at him. It was very hard not to take in his perfect body, and I had seen all of it in its glory.

He used to force me to watch them all train. But I knew what he was capable of ... his Beta too. They were complete monsters. I had to always remember that.

“Surrender now and you can join my pack. Kneel before me and pledge your allegiance to me, and your family will live. Fight me, and die,” he yelled out, leaving a puff of air.

He was wearing a large knee length jacket that was open, exposing his bare chest. He had on loose pants and combat boots. I couldn’t tell if he had any intention of shifting himself or not.

He rarely wore anything but shorts, no matter the weather. Like he wanted everyone to see his body, I hated it because it was hard not to look at him and I didn’t want to. He just had that type of commanding presence about him.

There was a silence so thick in the air, you could cut it with a knife. Now what?

Just as I had that thought, I felt a sharp twitch in the weather and a sharp cold breeze struck the whole village at once, making me shiver to my bones.

The wolves took notice and before I knew it, there were flashes all around, popping and cracking. The sounds of bones cracking and breaking. I fell to my butt and cowered in a ball in the corner, hearing unspeakable sounds.

There were moans, groans, howls, screams and the sounds of throats being ripped out. The sheer magnitude of it made the ground shake and before I could register anything else, the roof of the shed was falling on me, and something hit my head, then darkness enveloped me.

I came to, in absolute darkness, barely able to move. I was unsure how long I had been out. My legs were stuck under debris, and I immediately felt a sharp pain in my head. I winced and tried to focus my senses.
