Barely Breathing

Xyrus let out a humorless chuckle. "Willow's not my sister, she is my chosen."

Here he is again, claiming me as his. Nah' what's new?

"No. She is my chosen!" Alpha Ken intercepted. He looks angrier than before.

"The girl is mine." Alpha Troy said maliciously whose glaring at Xyrus.

"I believe you're all wrong. I got her." Alpha Lance's mood had turned now from jolly to a scary glaring alpha matching the other three. There was so much tension lingering in the air.

Who do these men think they are! I am not a thing to be claimed! I growled and glared at each one of them, making sure they've got the message.

"You are all wrong! I am not anyone's chosen! I don't need any of you so might as well leave me alone here and find someone else!"

"Who cares what you think? You don't have a say on this honey." That made me snapped. I lunged at Alpha Troy, shifting into my wolf form.

Violet's a pretty wolf. She has soft purple fur and moss green eyes, just like my human eyes. She was an average female wolf but when it comes to speed, it can rival male wolves.

I aimed at his neck but he dodged my attack, shifting to his brown wolf. I then tried to bite his legs and he just moved them out of my reach so I clawed his arms instead. I managed to scratch him but not deep enough to cause blood.

He lunged at me at full speed and thanks to Violet's quick reflexes I was able to step aside at the last second. I saw his outstretched arms on my peripheral vision and instantly darted a distance away.

Phew! That's was close. I landed not so gracefully and clawed on the ground to stop myself from falling. He attacked me once again by kicking me on my back. I gasped at the pain but quickly recovered and jumped at him.

I bit his ear harshly, causing blood when I’m finished. I growled boastfully to annoy him more. That did it as he once again lunged at me, however this time, he wasn't controlling his self. I saw his eyes looked at my exposed shoulder and directed his hit on it. I quickly did a body swerve to avoiding it.
