on the ice. Numb. Pulling his shoulder off the ice he saw the blood soaked fur had been frozen, closing the gash in his side. The blood no longer flowing. His leg was just the same.
Adam felt a wamth toward his fellow shield members. He'd be forever grateful for this.
"Adam, we should get you too the safe haven. We did the best we could do for you but maybe you can get more help once were in there" Jake suggested.
Adam nodded. "I still can't walk"
"We'll carry you"

20 minutes later, adam was being carried over the backs of Jon and Anisto. They were telling him about how Angle had been possesed and driven to try and finish him off. Adam was still unbelieving the part about angle throwing a full grown wolf off him and slamming him to the ground with enough force to knock him out.
"Jon saved our tails. He told me its some sort of exorcism" Lang explained once they had finished the event.
"Does this have a name?" Mali asked.
"Ausschuss von Damonen" Jon answered.
Adam grinned. He was familar with the term.
Once again, it had saved his life. Up ahead, They could see the gateway to the one place they had been traveling towards for weeks on end.
The Safe Haven.
The only despair he felt, was that anilda, and his pup, were gone.

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

Hitze had found, a safe spot for them to rest. Right at the base of de long mountains, a large ditch fell. Hitze climbed down into it and let aleu slid gently off his back. Looking around he decided he'd rest and wait for anilda.
He was worried for anilda so he decided that if she hadn't returned in an hour, he'd run back and see if she needed any help.
He breathed and set several rocks into a pile infront of him and set it aflame with his mind. Letting the wamth rush over his body.
Looking over to aleu he wondered just what had happened to her. Her body was beaten, brused, and bloody. Hitze looked over the wolf's body and wondered. Walking over to her he looked into her eyes. He stomach rose and fell as she snoozed. Replenishing her strenght.
Just then he heard the sound of someone approaching then he heard growling and "Get the hell away from her!"
Hitze raised his head and looked towards the newcomer

Zack came to a stop. The wolf and aleu had suddenly dissapeared. Like they had fallen into the ground.
Curious, zach sped back up. Running as fast as he could. He could only imagine what he must be doing to aleu.
At the speed zack was going, he saw how the wolf had dissapeared. It wasn't a trick. He'd simply gone into a ditch. A rather deep one. Zack reached the ditch in under 3 minutes. Taking a deep breath he looked over the edge.
Zack saw the white wolf standing over aleu. Aleu lay motionless on the ground. Her stomach rose and fell which showed she was alive.
Zack growled and yelled down to the wolf "Get the hell away from her!"

The wolf looked up at him

Zack jumped down and landed at the bottom of the ditch. Running towards the wolf, he saw the wolf do something that made his jaws drop and his legs numb. His heart beat faster. Fear overtaking him.
The wolf got a devilish look on his face then burst into fire. He growled approaching the zack. A wall of fire rose around zack.
He cowered back and felt the heat behind him as well. Fire everywhere.
Zack didn't know what to do. Then the wolf walked threw the flames. He stood with his legs out, ready to pounce.
"Who are you?" the fire wolf asked
"z-Zack" Zack stammered in his fear.
"What do you want with aleu?"
"She's my pack leader. Im here to rescue her" zach replied
The heat vanished.
Zack looked around again. The fire was completely gone. The scorch marks on the ground were visible which told zack he wasn't going insane.
Looking back to the wolf he saw he was white-furred again. He looked deeply sorry.
"Forgive me. Im not your enemy here. Ive been helping Anilda from your pack. I know where she is"
Zack starred at him. "How did you. . . Anilda is dead"
"Ive been able to do it all my life. Im Hitze and no. She isn't"
Zack stared. "But-"
"It's just a story. Why they made that up about me. . ive tried to put it behind me for years, I figured her pack might think her dead now. Look, if your part of Aleu's pack then who is anilda's Mate and what is he part of?"
Zack blinked. "Im sorry, what?"
"I need proof that your part of aleu's pack" Hitze explained
"Adam. He's the leader of 'The Ten Shields'" Zack answered.
Hitze, seeming convineced, nodded at Zack then looked behind him. "Ok, look, you take aleu back to your pack. That's what your goal was right. Take her, im going to go see what's taking anilda so long"
Zack listened to him the said "Er, you DO know she's pregnant right?"
"Not anymore. She gave birth yeserday. I told her to rest but she's determined to get to the safe haven. Im just helping her" Hitze explained.
Zack gasped. "and the pup?"
"She's ok. Anilda had to get her back from the kidnappers. She told me to take aleu and wait for her" Hitze said.
Zack stared confused. Anilda Alive! Adam will be glad to hear that. Aleu, dear god what happened to her
"How did aleu get this way?" Zack asked pointing his paw at aleu.
"She apparently was beaten, forced to fight something i believe you call a Nous-Controller, and raped" Hitze explained. "That's all i could tell. She may have been threw more but. . ."
Zack looked from hitze to the body of aleu. "How can you tell all that?"
Hitze pointed a paw at her lower stomach.
"The bruis says it all about her being raped. Wow those N-C's are lethal. Also look at the blood from her sides. He must have sank his claws into her sides and used it as leverage to. . . a. . well also i noticed this when i was carriying her. Look" Hitze explained then turned aleu over onto her other side.
Zack winced. He side was completely bruised and eight obviously VERY deep punctures. Though they didn't seem to be very large.
"Okay. Ill take her back to the pack, You get anilda and her pup back there as well. Anilda told you where we're going right?" Zack replied
Hitze nodded. "Go"
While Zack slid aleu onto his back, with the help of hitze, and started off towards the safe haven, Hitze started in the opposite direction.
Deviation peak stood tall in the distance.

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

Anilda hit the cave wall. Falling back down to the ground she cried out in pain. Panting she looked up from the ground at the cruel figure above her. No sorrow or remorse. Only gleaming, cruel red eyes stared down at her. No emotion behind theme. As she watched, horrified, the wolf raised a claw again.
Anilda wrapped her arms around her crying daughter and took the full force of the hit in her side.
Gasping for breath, anilda stood and shoved her shoulder into the wolve's chest. He took a step back.
A look of slight confusion. Then he grabbed anilda's tail and all but ripped it clean off.
She felt her legs fly out from under her. He tail, clamped tightly in the jaws of the wolf, held her back. Anilda clawed at the wolf's face but he didn't react. He simply dragged her back into the cave and resumed his beating.
Anilda tried kicking him but he didn't react to those either.
He seemed immune to pain. Trying again and again, she looked for a weak spot. He didn't even react to a kick between the legs. All he did was grin. His lips spreading apart. Anilda could see the sharp razors that were his teeth.
Then she heard a second wolf growling. "Let her go" the voice said
Anilda was in shock. Would Hitze ever not be there for her? He seemed to always be there just when she needed help. "Hitze!" she cried out in relief.

The wolf ignored him and put a paw to anilda's chest. Raising the other into the air. Before he could strike anilda however he howled out in pain. Hitze hung from his arm. His jaws sunk deep into the muscular flesh. He lifted his paw from anilda's chest, letting her free, and with his claws out, threw his paw into hitze's chest. Hitze fell to the ground and gasped for breath. Caughing.
"you're going to regret doing that" the wolf said with no emotion. He sounded and acted as if he had no soul. No emotions. Nothing, just an empty shell, bent on killing anything that it could.
"try me" Hitze said getting back up. The two circled for a minute. "Anilda get out of here" Hitze told her quickly.
She didn't argue. The battle between the two wolves was no doubtly going to be vicious and bloody. Picking her daughter back up she ran. "promise me we'll meet back up" she said urgently from the cave mouth.
"Ill see you soon anilda" Hitze replied grinning.
The wolf came at him just as anilda dissapeared. Hitze leaped into the air to jump over this wolf. The wolf seemed to know what he was going to do though. He raised his claw into the air and sank them into hitze's stomach. He stopped in mid air as the sharp claws forced him to a halt. He fell to the ground. The wolf stood over him fangs bared.
Hitze didn't hesitate. "you're better than i would have though" He said calmly. The wolf, being nothing but an empty shell, didn't reply. He tried to sink his teeth into hitze's throat but hitze put a paw to his muzzle just before his teeth closed around his neck.
The wolf would have simply tried again had the paw not suddenly catch fire. Burning his nose. The wolf howled. Stepping back and shaking his head threw the air. Hitze got to his paws again. When the wolf looked back to the, once white wolf, he saw he was no longer white. He was in flames. At first he thought the wolf would burn to death and he would be saved some trouble, allowing him to go after the young blood of the one called 'anilda'. But the wolf was not even reacting the the flames licking his body. He simply stood there. Flames dancing on his body, a ficious look in his eye.
No fear came to the wolf. Only confusion. Flames were supposed to kill. This went against everything he knew about heat. The problem he faced now was even touching the wolf without burning himself.
"i bet this complicates the hell out of things for you" Hitze laughed. He sat down and watched the wolf calmly. "try your best to hit me"
The wolf ran at hitze at full
