Once More
Aurelius had been hunting down hell hounds for the last two years, slowly cutting down each member with time and cunning. This pack that he hunted, thought it funny to infect any human who crossed their path. These men knew full well what they were doing to the humans. Never giving a second thought about what would happen to them. Most perished after being bitten so Aurelius and his fighters did all they could to stop this pack of vial creatures.
On one particular evening of hunting, Aurelius corned three of the last hell hounds, who were standing over another one of their victims. A gorgeous female who did not deserve this fate, she looked as if she had been clawed at and cut very deeply as well as knocked out. His blood boiled in his system at the sight of an innocent hurt. His teeth sharpened and his claws extended as a hateful snarl escaped his lips. He brought each of these demons down in a quick but brutal attack. There was no chance in hell or on earth that those hell hounds would have been able to take down an ancient alpha such as himself.
He hastened to the lady’s side and gently lifted her up in to his arms. A faint heart beat could still be heard thumping in her chest. There was a chance that she may not have been injured to the degree that the other humans had been. “You’ll live, I promise.” He said in a hushed tone as he took her to his pack healer. The lady’s injuries were cared for upon arrival back at the estate. She was tucked into a warm bed and given her own room to recover and wake up. That is if she ever did.
Aurelius knew it was a long shot for her to live but he wanted just one of the victims to live. He sat at her bedside and patiently waited for her to return to consciousness.
