CHAPTER 1

A lone female werewolf walks slowly from the dark woods just as the mist lifts from the dewy field. As I looked around scanning my surrounding’s. As I lift my eyes looking intently. I see movement by the nearby lake. As the fire light shows many shadows walking around. The breeze blows threw my beautiful golden fur, my ears twitch as I move my head around Picking up all the sounds on the still night air.

Feelings of a tickle in my throat caused me to softly clear my throat. I tilted my head side to side cracking my neck. Lifting my nose high, I sniffed the air trying to smell anything familiar. But all I picked up on was strange scents. Growling low I hear yelling in the distance.

Crouching down on all fours I started on a dead run, keeping low. I kept to the bushes and trees for cover. I reached the lake side quickly. Then I stopped behind a large tree. And looked around the shore line at the many Vampires, Demon’s and Shape Shifter’s. Many of their species were cross breeds. I could not determine their species or linage.

I turned my attention to the handsome man standing on the dock. Yelling at the others on the shore line! All the species continued to ignore him. Darkwolf was screaming someone, anyone strong enough to take my life! I want my suffering to end! I want to put an end to my loneliness! Come fight me and kill me I dare you!

I turned my attention back to a huge Vampire covered in muscles. He stripped off his shirt quickly. Silentkiller flexed his huge muscled arms. Silentkiller shouted back at Darkwolf the man on the dock. I’m Silent killer I will take your life with pleasure! Just to shut you up! You pathetic piece of shit!

Silentkiller moved with the skill of a jungle cat towards the lake side. Stopping and looking down at the water. Silent killer grinned as he glided across the water’s surface. Skimming the surface just barely enough to notice. Silentkiller closed in on the dock. He then leaped up on it quickly. Silentkiller looked at the man showing his fangs. What is your name stranger? Like I really care at all!

But I would like to brag later! Silentkiller taunted about how you fought like a girl! And Silentkiller laughed throatily, smiling wickedly. Then Silentkiller threw his head back again laughing harder. The man merely shrugged and said. It’s Darkwolf and I am werewolf/elfdrow/ wizard! What form do you want me to fight like a girl in? He smirked at Silentkiller and looked towards the shore line chuckling.

Silentkiller pulled his sword free of his sheath and pointed it at Darkwolf smiling. I will cut you in half you mutt half breed. And enjoy every minute of you crying in pain. Darkwolf pulled his sword free of his sheath. Darkwolf said Prove your skills you big dumb ass! You got more muscles than brains. Darkwolf swung his sword making first contact. As sparks flew on the night air! I looked around and quietly moved taking a step from the cover of the big tree.

As I walked slowly past a few vampires they looked at my tiny teal top. And my tiny teal skirt with gold hoops holding the front from the back. My tail swayed behind me in the breeze. I stopped at the water’s edge watching them do battle. The dock rocked softly back and fourth. With every force full blow of Silentkiller and Darkwolfs swords.

Darkwolf was knocked force fully off the dock and into the water. Landing fifteen feet away from the shore standing up. As he surfaced he clutched his sword and walked waded in the murky water onto shore. His hazed eyes searched for a clear spot to climb up onto the muddy bank. As he staggered and slid on the mud a few times.

Darkwolf climbed fully out of the water onto the shore. Darkwolf shook his long curly black hair. He looked directly at me and smiled. As my mouth dropped open, and my gaze wandered over his half naked body. His body glistened in little tiny beads of water that shimmered in the moon and fire light that fell upon him. I was a little breathless and my heart racing in my chest.

As Darkwolf was struck from behind .He was thrown through the air. Darkwolf did a tuck and roll then slowly standing up. Darkwolf looked back at Silentkiller. Saying you asshole that was a low blow!

Silentkiller replied what you didn’t say there! Were any rules to killing your dumb ass! Then glanced at me and smiled. As my gold eyes meet Silentkiller the breath in my throat was caught. He took my breath away. Silent killer flashed an award winning smile.

Silentkiller said she’s cute and very furry you know her? Darkwolf glanced back at me and winked. Nope, I don’t she would be labeled as unforgettable in my mind. Yeah she’s a looker alright. And her eyes are liquid gold. Silentkiller smiled at me again. Then Silentkiller looked at Darkwolf and chuckled. Since you’ll be dead in a minute! I guess I’ll claim her!

I said huskily in a sexy voice. I highly doubt that big guy. Since I’d kick your ass so bad your own mother wouldn’t recognize you! With that they both broke into laughter. Darkwolf said. Damn she’s a feisty one! I like her attitude a lot man!

Silentkiller shot me a look as he turned to me and said. You think you could kick my ass? I replied coyly saying proudly yup in all of my forms. I am Werewolf, Witch, and Shape Shifter. So think twice. It might be the last decision you’ll ever make!

Silentkiller raised his eye brow and looked me over and said. You amuse me little one. Silentkiller sheathed his sword and glanced at Darkwolf. Silentkiller then said to Darkwolf with a smile. You’ll have to wait until I am done playing with her to die. I cleared my throat and said. My name is Melanie, tough guy. And I have but one request? They both looked at me funny. I continued on like they weren’t staring at me. I want Darkwolf as my prize for winning this fight.

Silentkiller looked at me then at Darkwolf. And said He’s not mine to give to you my lady. I smiled at Darkwolf as he looked nervously back at me and asked shyly. What would you do with me Kitten? I blushed at his nickname for me and replied. I could keep you as my love slave.

Darkwolf replied what did you say? I said more loudly looking at him. You’ll be my slave, a slave of my heart! They both looked at me funny again. Then Darkwolf continued looking at Silentkiller and said. I thought I had no purpose to live for anymore. I gave up on my own sorry existence. But now damn how am I to refuse a job like this? I would have to be gay or stupid. And I am not, so yes you win. And I am yours forever kitten.

I looked at him and smiled. Yup forever and a day in every god damn way! I giggled softly shaking my beautiful golden coat of fur. Silentkiller cleared his throat. And what will I win out of this my lady? I replied if you win, and that’s a big if! You may lay claim to my virginity.

Silentkiller stepped back and looked at me sweetly. And then said I love her game more and more by the minute. It’s a deal sexy thing! As Silentkiller winked at me .But I have one request from you sexy thing? There will be no weapons in this fight. It will be purely hand to hand combat only my love.

And smiled at me so sweetly that my knees went weak and my stomach knotted up. And I felt slightly dizzy under his stare. I replied Sure thing handsome. But I will kick your ass! So you better fight like your battling a man, because I will show no mercy. I am fighting for something I truly want. I Flashed Darkwolf a loving smile. And he is surely worth a little ass kicking for.

Then i dropped all of my weapons. Stepping around them I growled softly at him. I took a fighting stance quickly. Silentkiller cleared his throat nervously. Then said damn you’re really! Going to do this then fight me huh? Silentkiller then said well I should be scared then.

I replied it is up to you. Do you want to lose or not? And i grinned at him sweetly. He dropped his weapons and put his hair back in a tie. I’m all ready now my lady. Whenever you want to bleed! I will kick your cute ass!

CHAPTER 2

Then i growled loudly and charged at him. Waiting until I got four feet. I flipped over his head kicking him in the back. I landed behind him on my feet. I turned to look at him grinning. Silentkiller got hit in the back as I flew over him. He fell forward to the ground on his knees in pain.

Silentkiller groaned and a wine loudly. Silentkiller wiped his hand over his mouth. Bitch that hurt and I wasn’t ready! Silentkiller yelled. Awe sorry love, I didn’t know I had to fight a like weak girl!

I looked him over carefully. Are you ready now or what? He yelled bring it on little one! As I stepped closer and smiled sweetly up at him, I said. You really need to be ready this time. Silentkiller swung at me forcefully. I grabbed his wrist mid-flight and twisted it hard smiling. I spun him around hard. With his back to me leaning forward.

Silentkiller said damn girl you got a steal grip. Ease up on the arm or you’re going to rip it off! He extended his arm out and flexed it. I laughed and said not a chance! Figure out how you’re getting out of this yourself!

Silentkiller reached back wiggling against me. He grabbed the thick patch of fur at the nap of my back. He threw me over his head. I landed on my back in a cloud of dust. I continued to roll over onto my knees. Then I got onto all fours growling. I charged his mid-section. I wrapped my powerful arms around his waist. As we crashed to the ground looking at each other nose to nose. I leaned back and punched him in his ribs.

Silentkiller reached up and seized my wrist. Then he rolled me over hard under him. I pulled my legs up swiftly. I then planted my feet on his chest. Then I launched him over my head to the ground on his back. I let go of his wrists and rolled to my feet.

Silentkiller grabbed my ankles pulling my feet out from under me. I landed hard face first in the dirt panting. I moaned loudly stunned for a second. As all the air was knocked out of my lungs.

I struggled as Silentkiller landed hard on my back. Silentkiller grabbed my hands pulling them way up over my head. Holding me down tightly, smirking. I struggled furiously underneath him to free myself. I was getting very pissed off. This wasn’t a fight it was more or less. A wrestling match for god sakes Silentkiller was playing with me.

I heard a voice from the side line. It was a male stranger saying. Come on precious princess, kick his ass! I looked over to see a tall gorgeous man wink and smile at me sweetly. The stranger yelled loudly again. Come on princess get him.

I smiled and stretched my paws
