The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf

CHAPTER EIGHT – PANIC

Wright’s wolf ran through the trees and along the bush paths. He tried so hard to hide from humans

and animals alike. He knew the whole town so well and so it was easy for him to navigate through the

town without being detected even in such a busy day and time. He also knows the possible places that

the rogues would take refuge if they are in town and so he was heading for such places first.

Wright knew better than to come out as a werewolf. But for his daughter, he was ready to do even

more. He could have come out in search of his daughter as a human, just that if he had done so, he

would not have been able to easily detect either his daughter or the rogues and also, he would not

have been as fast as he wanted to be.

In his adventure, he was almost caught a couple of times by passersby but he was fast enough to

dodge leaving the onlookers believing that they had only been hallucinating about seeing a werewolf.

The wolf got to a lonely part and decided to keep to the bushes. As he walked, he felt that he was

being trailed, not by humans, but by a werewolf.

At first, he was intrigued. He wondered if it was a rogue that was after him or if it was just a strolling

werewolf. He knew that he had to be smart and also act very fast since he does not know the intention

of his prowler or prowlers.

He knows that no rogue would dare to attack him physically as they know the stuff that he was made

of. To get to him, the best that they can do is to go for those that are close to him, but they dare not

attack him directly.

As he walked, he approached a bend in front. He made up his mind to take the left turn since he knew

that the bend goes round in a circle and taking it would bring him to the back of his prowler. He

sincerely hoped that his prowler would fall for this trick as that would place him at an advantage and

give him a better chance to overtake the prowler.

Immediately he took the turn, he ran very fast and within a few seconds, he was the one walking

behind his prowler who was unaware of his presence at her back.

For some reasons, he was unwilling to launch an attack on the intruder immediately. He wanted to

know who it was that would dare to trail him and also fearlessly roving around by this time of the day.

Due to how discreet the werewolf was trying to be, he could not see the face at all but he could tell that NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

it was a female werewolf. When he tried to take in her scent, he realized that she had also covered her

smell. This made him strongly believe that it was a rogue trying to act undercover.

‘This must be one of the rogues’ he said to himself. ‘It is really going to be a bad day for her’

In anger, he lifted himself from the ground and pounced on her. She cried out in pain and swung to the

ground.

‘There was something about this wolf, a sort of familiarity’ he said to himself. He maintained a firm grip

on her but was unwillingly to pounce on her.

The werewolf was in fright, he could feel how fast her heart raced. She tried to avoid his eyes and he

was sure that she was only trying to cook up a plan for a counter attack. Even at that, he was still

unwilling to harm her. Instead, he used his pawns to drag her face to himself.

He paused and gazed at her.

*Maeve* he said through the mind link.

*Alpha* she responded.

He quickly released her from his grip and she got up.

*What are you doing out here by this time and in this form?* the both of them asked at once.

*Sorry you can talk* he said.

*No, I think you should go first* she responded.

*I came out to look for Rio. I just got the news from Philip that some rogues are in town* he said.

*But that is rather too risky Alpha. There is no need for you to come out in this form. We are on it

already* she replied.

*I just can’t sit at home doing nothing. I have to get her myself. The rogues are here for her* he said.

*No there are all gone now. And Rio is safe* she announced.

*Really?* he exclaimed.

Wright was relieved to hear that no harm had happened to his daughter.

*Yes* she responded.

*And why would you move around this way, Maeve? It is dangerous* he asked her.

*Because of the rogues too. We have been on the look-out for them immediately we got wind of their

presence* she replied.

*We have to get back now then* he said.

*Come on. Let’s just go home like this, as our wolf without shifting* she suggested.

*Okay, if I should agree to that, then you will have to spend a few minutes with me* he replied.

*At your service* she agreed.

……………………………………………..

They arrived at Wright’s garden and they went to the far end of the garden and stayed there to discuss

for a while. They do not want anybody to see them, especially Riona.

On their way back, Maeve’s steps had been uneasy as she walked and Wright had been watching her

all along. He could tell that she was uneasy and it was obvious that even though she was not feeling

good, she was trying so much to hide it from him.

*Are you okay* Wright asked through the mind link.

*It’s nothing* Maeve replied.

*What is wrong with you? I can see that you are not yourself” He persuaded.

Maeve gave up trying to hide her feelings *I think I sustained some injury on my shoulders*.

*Really, how, when did that happen?* Wright asked.

Wright does not want anything to happen to Maeve and so he was very worried. He feared that the hurt

would be as a result of his attack on her and if that is so, he would not forgive himself.

*It happened when you held me down. I almost suffocated* she explained.

*I am so sorry for that. I never knew that you were the one. If I do, you know I would never have

attacked you that way* he pleaded.

*It’s okay. Just that I feel this injury would take some time to heal* she replied.

*Come on, let me take a look at it* he offered and moved closer to her.

“Come on Rio, walk faster” Sandra called as she ran to open the door.

Riona laughed and she followed Sandra behind. She was so happy to see how excited Sandra was.

Sandra had called her earlier this week to inform her of her intention to spend the weekend at her

house and she had gladly obliged her and sent Cindy to go get her.

After her mum’s death, Riona had been away from the kids and Rennet Aid. This act was not

intentional because she loved to have the kids over at her place and also spend time with them

because they mean so much to her. It’s just that she found it very difficult to move on after losing her

mum.

“The door is locked Rio, come and open it” Sandra announced.

“Hold on Sandra, the keys are with me” Riona replied.

When Riona got to the door, she took out the keys from her hand bag and opened the door.

“Yeah” Sandra screamed as she entered the house.

Riona looked around the sitting room. “Is my dad around?”

“No one is in Rio, you just opened the door yourself remember” Sandra replied.

Riona ignored Sandra’s response. Something tells her that her dad was around the house, somewhere.

“What would he be doing in the garden?” Riona whispered.

She turned to Sandra. “Please remain right here Sandra and don’t go anywhere. I need to check out

the garden”

“Okay Rio, if you say so” Sandra replied.

Looking at how Riona was acting, Sandra could tell that something was not right and she was ready to

do just as Riona had instructed her.

She walked to the backdoor. She turned to Sandra and signaled her to go and sit. Sandra gladly

obeyed and went to sit on the couch. She placed her hands on the doorknob and after a little

hesitation, she turned the knob.
