THE STAND
Two weeks she had been on the run and she had travelled about 260 miles, the car had long ago ran out of gas and she had no money to fill it up and even if she did she dared not go to a gas station in case a Rogue pack member or one of their paid mercenaries had made up some sob story like, lost daughter ect and put up lost posters asking for people to keep an eye out for her and contact them if she was spotted- that's what she would do anyway, the kind people wanting to reunite a lost child with her family would contact them if they spotted her and the greedy ones would contact them for a promise of a reward which they were smart the Rogue hunters would offer to, no she couldn't risk it so she dumped the car and taken to the forests.
In the passed two weeks despite the months of torture trying to weaken her Isabelle had felt her connection to her wolf reappear and it was strong - very strong on the verge of maturing so she could phase. She once again had access to her wolfs abilities of superior, hearing, smell and strength although she still had wolfs bane in her system that meant she could only use her wolfs enhanced powers for short bursts before she weakened and needed rest. The sat nav had that morning ran out of batteries and with no way of charging it or knowing where to go she sat on a rock by a river and planned her next course of action.
Sitting on the rock looking at the beautiful river she was reminded of her childhood favourite spot back home, the urge to return home was overwhelming but common sense won over her emotions as she knew that was likely one of the first places they would search for her. Isabelle suddenly jumped to her feet she sensed danger, she turned and scanned her surroundings and that's when she heard them Rogues closing in they must have caught her scent , she dropped the sat nat on the ground and waded through the river to the other side, hoping the water would mask her scent lone enough for her to get a decent head start.
Isabelle had made it another 12 miles when she heard a leaf crunch to her left and she ducked just in time as a wolf jumped over her and smashed into a heavy oak tree suddenly another sprang from the trees to her right forcing her off the path to the exit of the forest and deep into its depth. She had ran for over an hour now avoiding the odd surprise attack but as she ran through the bushes she came to an abrupt halt, in front of her was a steep cliff edge, she turned hearing Rogues approaching, she had run out of places to go and now she would have to make a stand and fight.
Three Large wolfs burst through the bushes and eyed Isabelle with lust. "So girlie you're what all this fuss is about.. i can see why our Alpha is so desperate to have you back," the largest of the three said ask he edged forward. " He ordered us to return you but he didn't say in what state a little.. used will be fine i am sure, right boys ?" he licked his lips then made his way closer Isabelle not sure how much longer she could stay conscious having used a lot of her energy running didn't hesitate she jumped on his back and snapped his neck quickly, the wolf fell to the floor dead. the other two looked at each other with shock before one let out a howl to tell the other hunters their location before they both attacked.
Werewolf after werewolf seemed to appear out of nowhere Isabelle however was not going down with out a fight, she would rather die than be forced to return to the Rogue Alpha. She had taken out 12 werewolf's now some in human form others in wolf with nothing but her bare hands and a tiny silver dagger, 16 more appeared and Isabelle knew she did not have the energy to fight them, she looked over her shoulder to the cliff edge thinking about jumping over it when a chilling howl filled the air and a pack of 6 of unknown wolfs jumped into the clearing they looked at Isabelle to assess if she was a enemy then deciding she wasn't they pounce on the Rogue wolf nearest to them and killed them as 10 of the Rogues concentrated on the new mysterious pack of wolfs 6 circled Isabelle she killed 3 at once then she fell on the ground in exhaustion. Just as the three Rogues left were about to grab her a huge jet black wolf jumped in front of her shielding her he lunged at the three killing them all at once before phasing back into human form , he walked straight up to Isabelle and declared loudly with a growl "MINE !!!". Isabelle looked up at the mysterious wolf in shock realising she had just met her fated mate. A sense of peace settled over her and an intoxicating scent flooded her senses before she fainted.
