#Chapter 240: Shifted Moana “Edrick?” I called out. My voice was only met with nothing but an echo. The world around me was silent… In fact, as my eyes slowly opened, I realized that I was no longer on the cliff. The only thing that I could see around me was a soft, golden light […]
#Chapter 239: Down to Earth Moana I opened my eyes, and started to panic as I felt myself starting to come back down. The shifting process wasn’t complete, and although I could feel myself shifting a little more with each moment, I was worried that Michael would kill me before I could shift fully. However, my eyes widened as I saw Edrick standing in the mist behind Michael. “Edrick!” I called, feeling my heart lift at the sight of him. He came for me after all… His glowing silver eyes met mine for the briefest of moments. “Hold on,” he said, his voice reverberating in my skull. “I’ll buy you some time.” Suddenly, as I came back down, Michael lurched forward with the knife in his hand. I shrieked as I was practically touching the ground now, and held my hands up in self defense. But Edrick was too fast, and dashed forward. I watched in horror as Edrick grabbed Michael by the back of his shirt collar and threw him backwards, putting himself between us. He growled and raised his hackles as he stalked closer to Michael, who was scrambling to his feet. Michael shifted next into a large, gray wolf with a menacing appearance. I gasped at the sight of him; he was even bigger than Edrick, somehow. “Edrick, no-” I said, reaching out to touch Edrick’s fur. “It’s too dangerous. Let’s just run away.” But Edrick didn’t seem to be listening. I could tell that his sights were set on taking down his father. The two wolves faced each other, snarling and pacing around in a circle. I wondered if they were saying something to each other telepathically, but I couldn’t be sure. Suddenly, a sharp pain overtook my head. I yelped and fell to my knees, clutching the side of my head where the pain rang out. I was starting to shift; I could feel it. The sensation of my bones and my atoms shifting and changing made me almost sick, and I felt as though I could retch right there on the spot. While I was on the ground, I heard the snarling intensify. Edrick leaped forward and collided with Michael mid–air, and all I could do was watch as they fought viciously in a flurry of teeth and claws and blood. This was so much more vicious than the fight with Ethan. Michael wanted to kill me so badly that he was willing to kill his own son. Michael’s large paw made contact with Edrick’s neck, sending Edrick skidding off to the side. #Chapter 239 Down to Earth Michael started to run at me, and I shrieked again. “Edrick!” I screamed. I tried to scramble to my feet, but it was no use. The pain was traveling down my neck, over my shoulders and my arms, and it was slowly working its way down my spine. The pain seared through my body. I clutched at the dirt with my hands while I shook violently from the ache in my bones, and could only watch in a state of abject horror while Michael charged at me. But then, all of a sudden, Edrick scrambled back to his feet and slammed into Michael again. The two of them went rolling off toward the edge of the cliff, and I gasped again as they rolled dangerously close. I could see rocks breaking and falling off of the cliff and into the misty abyss below. All it would take was one shove or one wrong turn, and one or both of them would go flying off of the cliff. I had to shift. “Hurry, Mina,” I begged my wolf. “We have to do this.” She didn’t respond, but I knew that she could hear my pleas. I felt another surge of power course through me, and I screamed again as another flash of pain took over my body. It was so intense that it felt as though the world was spinning around me, and I thought for sure that I would vomit.. “Come on…” I gritted my teeth against the pain and held the vomit down in my stomach. I heard a loud yelp, followed by a thud. I whipped my head around to see that Edrick had thrown Michael backwards once more, and now they were fighting further away from the cliff’s edge. Edrick seemed to have the upper hand over Michael, which gave me some peace of mind. But Edrick’s upper hand over Michael didn’t last for long. I could only watch, still in agony on the ground, as Michael clawed at Edrick’s throat and belly. Blood spewed out across the wet ground and mixed in with the mud. Edrick yelped and howled agonizingly, and fell to the ground. “Edrick!” I yelled. I managed to climb to my feet and, clutching my pregnant belly, I started to hobble toward him. His fur was caked in mud, and his eyelids were fluttering. Suddenly, I saw Michael shift back into his human form. I felt another surge of excruciating pain as I saw him pick up the Golden Knife, and I could only fall to my knees beside Edrick. I dug my fingers into Edrick’s fur and held him there as I watched Michael sprinting at a full clip toward me with the knife clutched tightly in his hand. “It’s over now, Moana,” Michael said, raising the knife above my head. “Just accept it.” #Chapter 239 Down to Earth But I knew that I didn’t need to because I was shifting. I closed my eyes and pictured my parents there, holding my hands, and then… I felt myself shift fully. My wolf’s immense power surged through me. A blinding light emanated out of me, even more blinding than the one from before. At the same time, however, I felt a searing pain in my belly. An excruciating scream escaped my lips, and I doubled over, clutching at my stomach. “Please, no,” I whispered, pulling one hand away to see red, sticky blood coating my fingers. ” My baby…” No… This couldn’t be real. I felt another surge of power. The light became even brighter, and I was on the ground now, and my eyelids were fluttering shut…
#Chapter 238: Buying Time Edrick I ran for a long time to try to find Moana. Because of the fierce wind and the rain, her scent got a bit jumbled and my own wolf’s tracking abilities were slightly dulled. Not only that, but because of the rain there were multiple small mudslides in the forest, and more than once I found myself slipping and sliding and getting turned around on my path. I could sense that something was wrong, though. I sensed someone else… And it wasn’t Kat or any of the other bodyguards. Moana seemed to be in distress, beyond what was reasonable for someone who got lost in the rain. And after what Ella told me about my father, I could imagine what was happening. I just hoped that I would get to her in time. Finally, her scent became stronger. Before, it was faint and I was even beginning to think that I was going to lose it entirely and that I would never find her. It became a lot stronger all of a sudden, in fact. My senses were suddenly overcome by her scent, and I felt myself being drawn straight to her. Feeling myself filled with a new sense of hope, I shot forward through the forest in the direction that Moana’s scent was emanating from. “I’m coming,” I thought, pushing myself to run faster than I ever had. “I’m coming, Moana.” Suddenly, I burst out from the treeline into a thick mist that had settled on the cliffside. I could hardly see in front of me, so I slowed down and stalked forward, keeping my head low as I sniffed the ground. Up ahead, something finally came into view: a bright golden light. I felt my heart pump faster as I picked up my pace again and followed it. When the mist separated enough so that I could see up ahead, I saw her. It was Moana; she was safe. At least, it seemed like it. I had little explanation for what else was happening. A bright, golden light was emanating out from her body. She was levitating seven or eight feet into the air, with her head tilted back and her eyes rolled into the back of her head. Her palms were outstretched at her sides, and she just floated there, emanating this blinding light. But she wasn’t alone; my father was with her. He was standing in front of her, holding up his arm to shield his eyes from the blinding light, and he had the Golden Knife in his other hand as he tried to push forward to get closer to her. I knew what was happening now: she was about to shift, which would mean that the Golden Knife would be useless once it finally happened. All I needed to do was hold my father off until she did shift. I was still in my wolf form, but I used my mindlink with my father to call out to him. “What are you doing?” I asked, stalking a little closer. My father froze. He was crouching slightly as he struggled against the invisible force that surrounded Moana, but he stood when he heard my voice. I froze, too, and watched as his head slowly turned to look at me over his shoulder. There was a dark, twisted grin on his face. Behind him, a bolt of lightning flashed and lit up the dark sky and half of his face. That sudden flash only made him look even more evil. “Stay out of this, son,” he replied, using our mindlink to speak without moving his lips. “You can’t get in the way of this now.” I felt a low growl start to rumble in the back of my throat. “I won’t let you kill her.” “Oh, look at you,” my father said, speaking out loud now. “Now, you choose to play the part of the hero? What happened to the Edrick that I knew all that time ago, who agreed that the Golden Wolf should be killed so that we can keep making our money? Hm?” I took another step closer. “I’ve changed. I don’t want that now… Screw the money.” My father laughed. “Young people are so fickle. I was like that once, too, you know. I thought that the world could be a better place. But as it turns out, it’s impossible. Humans are evil, stupid, vile little creatures… I know that now. I don’t care if they suffer, so long as we get to keep living our life the way it is, unchanged.” I couldn’t help but scoff as I stared at my dad. Moana still floated above us, out of reach. She seemed to be in some sort of trance; maybe she was having more visions. I hoped that she would stay up there until she shifted fully, and it would be hilarious to watch my dad have to deal with the fact that she shifted right in front of him, just out of his reach. “Oh yeah?” I asked. “And what changed your mind about that, hm? It wasn’t a human woman who you knocked up, was it?” My dad’s eyes widened. Of course I knew the truth behind what happened with Ethan’s mother; I’d known for years. I knew that Ethan’s mother was a human. Ethan was a half–blood, although he was lucky enough to have a wolf and pass as a werewolf. But when his mother tried to take Ethan away from my father, he killed her and passed it off as a suicide. Why my dad was so interested in keeping that kid for himself, I didn’t know. Maybe it was because my mother wouldn’t touch him again after he cheated on her, and he wanted another heir in case I didn’t work out. “Perhaps it was because of that,” my dad said with a smirk. “But it doesn’t matter. Oh, look… The Golden Wolf is coming back down to earth after all.”

Chapter 234: The Hunt Edrick Ella slowly pointed her little finger in the direction where I last saw Moana and Kat walking over by the edge of the forest. Only now, no one was there. I felt my heart drop as I quickly scanned the treeline. I couldn’t see a flash of red hair anywhere
#Chapter 233: The Cliff Moana “Kat?” I called out. My bodyguard was nowhere to be found. One minute she was right beside me, and the next she was just… gone. She just took off running and didn’t look back. Maybe she found the valerian roots, I thought to myself, although I think I knew deep
#Chapter 232: Read Me a Story Edrick I watched as Moana’s head of red hair slowly faded into the distance. She seemed to stop and look over her shoulder before stepping into the treeline, with Kat following secretly at a distance. From where I was standing, I could still see her as she began to
