The Bounty Hunter Mate

ch.25

Jumping, I growl loudly, hearing the sound of growling and howling. I listen carefully noticing they are a little distance away. They found me already, but who. I walk slowly out of the cave and sniff the air and growl loudly. Dimitri, he's hurt. My Dimitri.

Growling loudly I take off through the woods. Running past trees jumping over logs. Till I see him. My Dimitri is covered in blood, laying on the floor I see around 20 wolves sourounding him and many more dead. Angry that they have hurt my pups father, my mate. I raise my back lift my head up high and step out from the trees.

Snapping my jaw I growl and see them all step back. I look at Dimitri noticing he's about to go unconscious, see him trying to keep his eyes open I growl louder, angered I look at all the wolves and walk closer and stand over my Dimitri.

'You all will pay for what you all have done to my Mate'
Snapping my jaw at them, I see them all shocked for being able to hear what I have said. I can hear them all thinking to run away or fight.

I know I should not do this so far along my pregnancy but I will not let them live for hurting my love. I trust my wolf to help protect my pup.

Hearing a low whine I look down and see Dimitri looking up at me. Dimitri lifts his head and licks my belly, then his head falls back, he's unconscious.

I snap my head up, and stay over Dimitri's body, I will not leave him alone. I am bigger then them. But they have the advantage because I'm pregnate and there are more of them, but my anger fulls me. I feel my adrenaline pumping feel my claws lengthen more. I swip out at one and he whines and goes down, he's silent and still.

'I Am Skarlett Red.'
I see the shock in there eyes and a few move to come get me, I crouch low and snap my muzzle growling at them three jump on me and I squish Dimitri a little and bite ones back leg, and pull till I hear a snap. He howls and leaps back falling from his crushed bone. He's about to slash at me till I jump up and jump on his chest crushing it fast. I turn and jump out at the others taking more down.

I don't know how long its been. Minutes or hours but I'm bleeding scratched and bit. The last one is under my paw squirming to get free I look around me and see bodies dead. Blood everywhere I look to my left and see Dimitri starting to move his head, he's waking up, when all of a sudden I feel a pain in my ribcage. It must be the baby. How could it not be I was moving around to much. I hope the baby is not hurt. I hear whining and look down the wolf still trying to get free. With out a second thought I extend my claws from my front paw on his chest and let them go into his chest and claw his heart. With him dead I finally shuffle off of him and move to Dimitri. Whining I lick his muzzle hoping he's ok.

I hear pounding of paws coming towards me turning around to wait for them to come, I'm above Dimitri again protecting his body with mine. I'm in lots of pain from the fight I just had. I'm swaying trying to keep my legs from tucking underneath me. I'm loose a lot if blood especially from claw marks that are on my side.

The sounding is getting closer, I can feel the ground shaking I hear barks in the air, But can bearly make them out. He knows where I am, those rogue mutts must have told Steven.

I won't be able to make it, I've used all my energy, my sight is getting blurry. Looking down at my mate i remember all the good times we have had all the dumb arguments and i remember how we met me tackling him to the ground. My eyes are glazed over holding back tears. I nuzzle his neck with my muzzle and see him open his eyes slowly and blink before going unconscious again. I lick his muzzle, knowing I didn't have much time. I look down at him one more time.
'I tried'

Throwing my head back, I let out a long sad low pitched howl. Letting anyone know where I am. Stevens rouges are close anyways. Dimitis pack can't be far, I'm sure they must be able to hear me. I howl one more time louder, with my head still thrown back and my body over Dimitris. The pounding is a few feet away, my vision blurry i see a wolf come out from the trees, when I let my head fall and my legs give out beneath me, and my body fall atop Dimitri's.

The last thing i hear is a loud howl from a few feet in front of me, before my mind goes black.
