"I took care of the prisoner." The wolf said.
Erik growled at him so loudly that the wolf had to take a step back in fear.
"If she dies." Erik glared at him. The wolf was so visibly scared for his life. "Your life is over."
The wolf was now scared and his heart was racing so fast.
Erik stormed off down to his quarters and set her down on his bed.
He put his head up against her chest.
She was still breathing.
He turned to his wolf and separated his human body from his wolf body.
This was a very rare and special technique that other wolves could not do.
Even Alphas.
But because Erik was from a direct line of the original first wolves, he was able to execute this skill.
He had not done it in a very long while and it was a skill that he did not do to the eyes of people.
The mind of the wolf and man was one.
But because the wolves were ultimately made into the heart of mind, had been made into separate souls.
There were rare case where men had used dark magic or tried to disrupt their soul by separating the wolf from the man and had ended up with their body and a wolf joined together in such an ugly and grotesque way.
The bones will be seen peaking out from the body and their blood will splash out.
So the practice had died down and those who had the gift kept it to themselves.
Like Erik.
Erik growled and finally separated from his wolf and stood in his human form .
He rose up to his feet and said. "Protect her."
And then once he stepped out of the room, the wolf went and sat by the bed which she lay on.
It was ready to protect her to death.
Erik stormed up the steps.
"Where is the healer?" Erik demanded.
There was usually one healer on the ship that went along with their journey.
"Where is the fucking healer?!" He demanded.
The wolves came and met him. "He is on the third ship way back."
"Order for the ship to be slower and get him up here." Erik demanded.
"That is going to slow down the journey." The second captain complained. "And Xaden will not like that. He has specifically said that we take advantage of the best wind. Slowing that can make us arrive later."
"I do not bloody care." Erik hissed. "There is a woman dying down there and you better stow the ships."
"She is a fucking prisoner. And the daughter was of our worst enemy." The captain snapped. "Over my fucking dead body will I slow down this ship to accommodate that monster."
Erik stood over him and his eyes glimmered to another color.
"I am second in command. I am Alpha and I have been Alpha before your Alpha. Do you still choose to disobey me?" Erik demanded in rage.
But the captain spat at his foot.
"That is your bloody answer." The captain replied. "I do not answer to you or anyone else. And I say that this ship will not be slowed down got that stupid bitch I mean it!"
Erik gave a mean smile and then he started to walk away, when the captain cheered at the other men.
"Yes! We will not let any fucking bitch who was born to a fucking whore and fucked by a bastard he given a priority. Weather from the alpha himself. Or from his little errand pet dog." The captain said.
Erik instantly stopped in his tracks.
He knew that that last statement had been made for him.
He turned around to face him .
"Take those words back." Erik said.
"What can you do?" The captain asked laughing to the men.
But the men were not laughing so hard anymore. In fact they all looked uncomfortable.
"Take back those words or I will take them back for you." Erik promised.
"You can do nothing to me boy. I called you an errand pet dog. Do you worst." The captain said.
Erik grabbed him and slammed him down on the ground.
The man was groaning and crying in pain asking for the others to help him.
But no one did.
They just stood down quietly watching as everything transpired.
