Chapter 156: In the wolf’s den
"Would you just stop crying?" hissed the woman, "You are safe now so, what’s the issue?" her voice blared a little louder.
Her Onyx black hair fell to her waist, silky and clearly cared for. Unlike Alpha Cynric’s hair which appeared healthy yet unkempt. It was the case for most wolf men Arabella had laid eyes upon in the short duration of time she spent on their territory.
The women in their clan seemed to take better care of their appearance despite wearing nothing but their fur as well.
"Take these silly boots off!" the woman grumbled while on her knees, tugging at Arabella’s shoes, "Humans, I swear! Always so needy and whiny," she, not so gently, gripped Arabella’s leg and yanked it to see the cut on her calf, "Look at you! Can’t even heal on your own," she clicked her tongue and stood up.
After a long and loud sigh, the woman’s voice resonated once more, "What is it, huh? Is it this cavern? Not cushy enough for your tender flesh?" she marked a pause, a stern look on her, "Speak! Why can’t you stop trembling and crying? A newborn child would have voiced their thoughts more properly than you!"
The woman grew visibly more agitated by the second, face reddening with every word uttered.
"Listen here!" she bent closer to Arabella, "If you don’t stop getting on my nerves right this instant! I swear, in the name of our Goddess that I will-," she’d spat every syllable through gritted teeth.
The wolf woman wasn’t allowed to complete her threats however, as a new voice reverberated throughout those vast caverns. A more brittle yet mature one, although very steady, "Ayyura!"
The so-called Ayyura dared not even whisper at first and spun around to meet the gaze of the old lady that had entered the cave.
