Chapter 55 A full moon.

Doris stood her ground and didn’t move an inch towards him. She glanced at her surroundings, butdidn't see another person near enough to see them. How had she strayed so far from the path?Would anyone even help her if they were near? “Can't you hear? I said to get over here!” Heshouted, the sound made her flinch when it echoed around them. Doris curled her hands into fistsat her sides. She was tired of people screaming at her and telling her what to do. “No. I'm going tomy room for the evening, good day.” Doris turned to continue down the path. She regretted turningher back on him the instant she heard his footsteps smack against the snow. He grabbed her armand forced her to turn and look at him. His breath smelled like alcohol and death, she blinked awaythe flashbacks of the night she was attacked and pushed him away from her. The movementknocked the hat off his bald head, he angrily picked it up and shoved it back on his

I heardyou liked listening to orders at the palace.” He hissed, Doris pushed on his chest to get away fromhim. “Let me go, you animal! You're hurting me!” Doris started hitting his hand that gripped her, helaughed as if she was acting like this for his own entertainment. It infuriated her. “Listen here,” hegrabbed her shoulders and shook her harshly like a rag doll. “I don't trust you in this camp. I knowyou're more than you claim and I won't let them feed you information that'll get us all killed.” Heleaned closer to her, Doris stomped on his foot as hard as she could but he didn't seem to feel it.She wondered if his feet were frozen from the cold, or if he was simply too drunk for it to phasehim. “I'm not-" “Save it, little one. Jules and Darrell knew exactly what was best for this pack and I'mgoing to finish what they started.” He picked her up off the ground as if she

Doris quicklystood and ran from him, but she could hear his steps close behind her. He grabbed the back of hersweater and yanked her back, she fell to the ground and grabbed at anything she could reachbefore he lifted her up again. “You have some fight in you, don’t ya?” He laughed like a madman. Itwas as if he got some sort of sick thrill from watching her fight for her life. The joke was on him,Doris was tired of being the victim. He straddled her and went to wrap his hands around her throat.Doris tightened her grip on a sharp rock and smashed it against his head. He fell off her instantlywith a scream. e Doris wiped the blood off her face before she crawled away from him and went tostand. He caught her leg and forced her back down to the ground. “Oh no you don't, you bitch!” Hegrowled. She could hear the wolf in his voice and felt her veins freeze over. If he changed into hiswolf, he would rip out her throat in

A full moon. seconds. Doris kicked at his face and tried to crawl away from him. He was so muchstronger, even as wounded as he was. He pinned her face to the ground and straddled her back.She could hear the sound of his belt buckle being fumbled with and her stomach twisted with purefear. “You stupid bitch, you deserve this,” Suddenly he was off her as if he was never there. Doristook a deep breath and slowly turned to see Enzo holding him by his throat off to the side. A groupformed around them quickly, Elena helped Doris stand and they both stepped away from the men."What do you think you're doing, Stephen?” Enzo asked the man with a voice dipped in poison. Heheld him as if he weighed nothing off the ground. Stephen gripped his arm and struggled forbreath. Those around them watched nervously. Elena put her arm around Doris to comfort her,Doris watched the scene almost as if she was detached from the moment. She didn't feel as if shewas even in her body anymore, almost as if she was watching it from beside herself.

A full moon “You want to follow in your friends’ footsteps by disobeying me? Have you paid a visitto them lately?” Enzo said through his teeth. She could tell he was tightening his grip with everyword he spoke. A sick part of Doris was glad to see the man suffer. “I don't suppose you have,otherwise you wouldn't be going against my direct order not to harm our visitor.” Enzo put himdown and allowed Stephen to breath. The man gulped in air and stumbled back until he fell on hisass. Enzo placed his hands behind his back and walked towards him. “What do you have to say foryourself, Stephen? I think your wife would like to know what you were trying to do to our guest outhere in the snow.” “I-I was drunk, I wasn't thinking.” Stephen stuttered. He still hadn't stood fromwhere he fell, he cowered away from Enzo. It made Doris realize that they loved him as much asthey feared him. “We were just talking, weren't we?” He asked Doris desperately. Enzo glanced atDoris. “No. We weren't.” Doris said with her chin raised. No more would she be silent about whathappened to her. Enzo nodded his head in approval before he turned back to the

A full moon 1 pathetic man on the floor. “You heard the lady, she says you're lying.” Enzo pulled asmall knife from his pocket and leaned over to grip Stephen's head. “You know what I do to liars andto those who disobey me.” “No,_please! I just wanted to talk, I'm sorry she got scared!” Enzo grippedhis tongue and cut off half of it without a hesitation. Doris gasped a little with the crowd around her.No one could dare look away from Enzo at the moment.

Enzo tossed his tongue on the floor and cleaned off his knife on Stephens jacket. “There. Now youwon't be able to lie to me again.” Enzo took a step back from the screaming man and tried to speakover his agony. “If I see you talking to her again, you won't like what I'll cut off next. Got it?”Stephen screamed and nodded at the same time. He was desperate to get away from Enzo, heslipped in his own blood as he tried to stand. Once he finally did, Enzo slapped his shoulder so hard,he almost fell again. “There. Now, if your wife wants to know what you did to deserve this, point herto me. I'll let her know exactly what you tried to do to this

A full moon you.” Enzo gripped her hand that held his arm as if to give her a bit of his strength.“Thank you for that.” Doris whispered. She lowered her eyes to the ground. “Never thank me, ever. Idon't deserve to be thanked for such things.” They stopped at her door and Doris rubbed her tiredeyes only to see a few scrapes on her hands. She hadn't noticed them during the fight, but theywere there now. “Will you be alright?” He asked and stepped back. “I will eventually.” “Good, Iwouldn't want you to miss tomorrow.” “What's tomorrow?” Doris asked weakly. “A full moon.” a
