Maya's tale is not one for the faint of heart.
The White Wolf Saga Book 1
by Christine Barker
Genre: Epic Paranormal Fantasy Romance
Maya's tale is not one for the faint of heart. Her people are ripped from their homes on their island and thus become refugees on their land. This tale talks about the brutal truths about being a prisoner of war. This tale has helped those who have difficulties facing their trauma and can slowly start their healing process due to the monstrosities Maya has gone through at the hands of a madman, Jericho.
EXCERPT
A voice cried out
for his warriors to be silent, and that was when I noticed the man on the horse
was the same one who pleaded for his life in front of me moments ago. He rode
out several paces into the battlefield.
“Intruder….” he
cried out. “Won’t you give me the same courtesy I have given you? Meet me in
the middle of the battlefield to discuss your surrender. A woman is not fit to
fight in a war.” Phoenix said.
“I will not
surrender to you… or any other human.” I spat.
I scanned the
lines of his army. Only men were amongst them, not a single woman was there on
the battlefield. I never understood why their kind treated women differently
like they were lesser than men. A slight growl escaped my lips.
“Such a pity,
wasting a great-looking specimen like yourself on something as ugly as death.”
Phoenix paused. “No matter… I would have killed you myself had you surrendered.
I do not pity your kind.”
“That’s funny.
That’s not what Jericho would have said,” I countered.
“Soldiers! Take
arms.” He cried out. He unsheathed his sword and raised it to the sky. With a
kick to his horse, Phoenix headed to the end of his army's line and clashed his
sword against their spears.
The Hunters
dropped their shields to form a shield wall for the ones who carried spears and
swords. I saw the archers lined up behind the weapon holders as they drew their
bows and awaited the final command for the battle to begin.
I turned my head
towards my people and nodded, then averted my gaze back towards the enemy. My
soldiers began to take their armor off. This caused a stir amongst his men. I
could hear laughing from the other side, with shouts of “What is she thinking?”
“if she wants an easy battle, so be it.” They had no idea what was in
store for them. They didn’t know it was hard to shift in armor. Clothes we
could easily destroy, but metal hindered our shift.
“Start the march
slowly, and once you hear my call, shift.” I prompted.
I looked down at
Ahar, right into his smoky gray eyes, and nodded my approval to begin the
battle. My front line bent down in a slow arch in what looked like a sprinter's
starting position. There wasn’t fear on their faces; their lips curled in
disgust as they snarled and snapped in their human forms, and their wolf
spirits were ready to let loose.
Ahar began a
battle cry that rattled the Earth. It made my heart swell with pride, knowing I
had him and others like him who wouldn’t question me. In unison, my front line
started to trot towards the onslaught that was about to begin. The Hunters
tightened their lines, with their shields up and spears out. Archers were still
at the ready.
I closed my eyes
and looked to find the heated core within me. A slight burning sensation spread
to my toes. I smiled; I knew what was about to happen next.
With my eyes
still closed, I could feel the freezing air trying to prick at my body. Nothing
could stop what would happen next as I found this burning desire within my soul
to find my other half. My snow-white wolf looked at me with bliss on her face.
She had waited for me to finally release her. She was ready. I caressed her
muzzle, and it began. My body was set ablaze, with a fire that burned every
inch of me. But this time, I let every inch slowly give in to my indomitable
wolf.
I looked out with
my wolf sight and saw my front line start their advance faster. With
everybody’s eyes on me, I opened my mouth and howled so deafeningly that the
enemy dropped most of their formation, along with their weapons, to cover their
ears.
With the archers
disarmed, my front line shifted, one after the other, into a multitude of
colored wolves and struck the enemy line with full force.
