Three

This man seemed like one who was all out to protect her from these wolves, and with the way the wolves shifted their attentions for the man to her, she had no choice than to leap towards his back, hiding herself from the gaze of the wolves.

Rogued wolves..! He had heard of those species of wolves, whose only objective was to subject the she-wolves who weren't mated or widowed under their pain and torture..

For a moment he did ponder on why such kind if things exists, why they sought comfort in delivering pain and terror to wolves who were quite unlucky to get a mate.

But this lady behind him, she wasn't mated..? A food for thought which was served to him while he stood boldly with his burning eyes all fixed on the wolves.

He would possibly have to do something, but with the way she grabbed onto him, he might get defeated in the process.

He tapped her arms which was around his waist, assuring her of safety by his side and walked out forward. His finger nails becoming long and pointy, and his fangs elongating beyond it's normal limits.

His smile alone showed the rogues wolves the kind of specie he really was, but what he managed to do didn't seem like a threat to these wolves as they also growled at him.

Their hind limbs were stretched backwards, and with their forelimbs and claws dug deeper into the moist ground, they stretched the muscles of their backs, bringing them closer to the ground, ready to make a perfect swift jump attack on him.

He wrinkled his eyelids as his eyes got a bit dimer but darker in colour, and his body positioned for an attack which he would land on these Wolves.

One of the wolves made a quick jump, its body still high in the air, with it's mouth widely open, it's claws and fangs protruded out just to pierce his skin, but while it landed, the man took a quick move backwards and caught the wolf by it's mouth.

The wolf dug it's claws into the arms of this man, while the man's hands were placed on the upper and lower jaw of the wolf respectively, holding the wide open while the wolf still growled at him in the face.

The stench, the bad breath which oozed out of the Wolf's mouth made his face get wrinkled and twisted, but that wouldn't stop the pain he felt on his arms.

But the more the wolf's claws were going down his arm, the faster it did heal, and the more he stretched open the already opened mouth of the wolf..

He groaned as he pulled out all of his strength and tore the mouth of the wolf beyond it's limits, breaking his jaw bones and other regions of the Wolf's mouth.

The wolf dropped to the ground, howling in pain as it's coloured eyes began to loose colour and it's body slowly loosing life.

The man took quick look at his arm which was torn with blood gushing out, but while he stood to watch it, it was slowly closing up, but with it was accompanied a little iota of pain in the healing process.

He looked back at the other two Wolves with anger, his eyes already dark while they stared at him, he walked a bit further towards them and stopped while he flaunted his claws and his fangs.

"Come on..!", He uttered under his breath as he waited for one of the wolves to make the next move, but while he waited, he drew out his sword and waited for something to happen.

The next wolf growled loudly at him, in the dead of the night, running towards him with full speed.

With it's fore and hind limbs stomping the ground, it ran with all it's energy towards this man, but he ran too with his sword I his hand and his energy.

He quickly jumped, more of somersaulting above the wolf, but he drove his sword into the eyes of the wolf and then he landed on the ground.

Turning round to see the state of the wolf, he turned to see the wolf struggling on the ground, still staggering on it's feet with the sword still in it's eyes, and with speed, the man ran towards the wolf and with a kick to the base of the sword, he kicked the metal deeper into it's eyes.

Turning backwards, the last of them all ran with its speed towards this man, and jumping swiftly to pounce on him, the man delivered an uppercut punch to the wolf on it's jaw, throwing it off balance and landing to the ground.

The wolf rolled on the ground thrice, and getting up on it's feet, it shook it's head several times and then leaped off, running off towards the opposite side of the woods, running off into the darkness.

The man stood in his position, watching as the wolf ran off into the woods where the light from the moon couldn't penetrate, and while he panted for breath, he turned back to see Emily staring at him in shock.

She watched the man take down three rogued wolves on his own, and he didn't seem to get hurt.

But straining her eyes further, she stared at his arm which still seemed like it was wounded with blood rolling down it.

She remembered the event which brought about the wound, the moment the first wolf drove it's claws down into his arm while he struggled with it's mouth, and watching closely as the wolf's claws were tearing down his skin, she felt this inner pain within her, one which made her feel the exact pain he felt.

"Are you okay...?", His voice interrupted her train of thoughts, startling her back into reality. She shook her head and the first image which caught her eyes was the image of the man in front of him.

Finally she got the chance to see the man who saved her life, the one who took down three Wolves on his own, and for a moment she almost compared his strength to that of a god, but she had touched his skin to feel the same thing which existed in every mortal.

His face was one which she couldn't stop staring at. His eyes were back to just being the colour of an intense flame, she thought of how possible one could be created with such colour of eyes.

And his nose, not too small but a bit pointy, his lips which were perfectly shaped, curved into a heart warming smile which swept her off her feet.

Moderately shaved beards on a finely edged and shaped jaw, with his dark hair falling down his shoulders. They weren't wavy, just straight and shiny, and even after the rough encounter with the wolves, they still retained it's nature.

"You're..", she stuttered as her gaze met his left arm which happened to be exposed. His sleeves were torn by the wolf's claws and his skin was slightly open, with blood all over the arm.

"You're bleeding...!", She managed to say while she still stared at the arm. Quite deep in her eyes and she did wonder how long it would take to heal such a wound.

"Oh... That..!", He said as he also looked at his arm and then back to her and said deeply, "it'll heal..!".

And while her gaze was still on the torn arm, she was taken aback by the slow way the wound began to close up..

She strained her eyes to make sure what she saw was not just an illusion but real, and while she looked deeper, the wounds had closed and all that remained was just the blood which surrounded the wound.

"You healed...!", She said surprisingly, and without the consciousness of what she was doing, she rubbed her fingers through the formerly torn skin and all she felt was just smoothness.

But what she didn't know was that she went beyond running her hands on the freshly healed skin due to curiosity, she got lost in thoughts as her fingers enjoyed the sweetness and smoothness of his skin, never wanting to end it's journey.

How could a man like this have such smooth skin..? She unconsciously proceeded from using only her forefinger to including the middle finger and her thumb, slowly feeling the smoothness of his skin and beubg attracted to the veins which popped out from his arm.

"Careful...!", He said quickly as he grasped her hand tightly, making her grunt for a bit while she got back to her senses.

He tightened his hold on her hand, squeezing them tightly while they both looked eyes under the moonlight.

While he stared into her incredibly glowing eyes, he was suddenly reminded of his grip on her hand while she grunted loudly, ruining his own train of thoughts.

"Sorry..!", He said while he dropped her hand. He held her hand with the other hand and blew some air on them, while she massaged them with a fearful look on her face.

She stepped back a bit, still having her mind drowned in fear and her face showing off it's Expression.

But while she stepped back, he walked forward to her and grabbed her by the hand, the same hand which he had squeezed too tight to the extent of incurring pain.

"Are you alright..!", He asked softly as he held the hand in a soft way.

He was the definition of handsomeness, a soothing beauty to behold and his words, surprisingly they were warm and caused her heart to raise.

There was this silence everywhere, one which filled the atmosphere and that which took over her soul. For the first time in a long while, her wolf had not reacted to anything or scolded her for something she ever did, but all these started the very moment she collided with him.

Now his eyes were bewitching, and his facials didn't stop intriguing her. There were more things to admire about this man and for a moment, she wished she didn't have enough of his presence.

But his hands, they became soft and gentle. How possible could that have been? The same hands which he had used to take down a wolf and the one which he used to grab her hands, was there some form of extra powers to which he use in making most of these things possible.

She couldn't say but she couldn't hide how she enjoyed the entire feeling springing up within her, but her mind redirected her to the question which he asked her.

"I'm.. fine..", she stammered with a squeezed face, but that was not the state of her heart.

"That's good to know..", he said with a slight smile smile on his face, turning back to take his leave when she called out to him.

"Wait..!", She called out to him, making him stop in his tracks, rolling his eyes with his back against her.

"I know you..", she said pointing her hands towards the man with wrinkled forehead and a puzzled face, trying to remember what fact made her know this man who saved her life.

"You are..", She said again but when she water to mention a name, he cut her words off her mouth, retorting immediately saying, "Richard... From the blue moon pack..!"
