[Winter]
Richard led the charge against the group of hybrids.
They were on the run now. After the arrival of Jonas and his men, the tide had turned. And after Axel’s words, there was no chance in hell that any wolf was letting these bastards take anyone else from them.
The fallen before him snarled and swiped at his chest. Richard was not quick enough to escape unscathed. The claws dug into his armor, and he groaned as the tips cut into his flesh.
He fell back, and the creature quickly took advantage, crawling on top of him and snarling in his face.
Richard grabbed tightly to his axe and swung at the creature’s head. He hit once and then twice. But the monster grabbed Richard’s arm and bent it until he let out a cry of pain as the bone broke.
The beast roared in his face, and Richard was sure this was his final moment.
But, the beast suddenly moved back as though he had been struck. He crawled away from Richard’s body with a whimper.
