The Alpha skulked closer slathering its maw with the thick viscous salvia which lapped off its tongue as it dropped to the floor, it gnashed its teeth at the group.
Marcus looked into the beast's eyes and he felt the bestial eyes pierce him which made him feel cold but he could still feel the warm trickle of his wounds
"Run "
"We will not "
"DO IT OR WE ALL DIE FOR NOTHING"
"No we can't do this "
"Look at me ,do i look i can go on much longer, we are all bloody wounded we cannot do this, get to grips with it im not some valiant paladin, no hero just a human, i drew you into this mess SO FUCKING RUN "
The group looked down and Marcus stared down the beast as if in a primal showdown seeing who strikes first
He heard rustling in the tree but didn't care, whatever it is fuck it
The wolf saw the running the 4 runoff and was ready to give chase
Marcus raised his blade slick with gore and blood of the Dire wolves

The Alpha wincing in pain looked at both of the men in front of it absolute hatred coursing through it veins but as it tried to move forward it shuddered its heart stilling, the Alphas eyes rolled back and its bulky form fell to the floor blood caking the ground.

Marcus vision suddenly began to darken as the adrenaline pumping through his veins was released and the seizing pain of his muscles taking him
"I ...need to rest"
Marcuse's vision faded to black and started to fall before being caught by Caleb
