Chapter 55
Chapter 55 A full moon.
Doris stood her ground and didn’t move an inch towards him. She nced at her surroundings, but didn’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!” He shouted, the sound made
her flinch when it echoed around them. Doris curled her hands into fists at her sides. She was tired of
people screaming at her and telling her what to do. “No. I’m going to my room for the evening, good day.”
Doris turned to continue down the path. She regretted turning her back on him the instant she heard his
footsteps smack against the snow. He grabbed her arm and forced her to turn and look at him. His
breath smelled like alcohol and death, she blinked away the shbacks of the night she was attacked
and pushed him away from her. The movement knocked the hat off his bald head, he angrily picked it up
and shoved it back on his
A full moon. head as if he were ashamed of hisck of hair. He grabbed her arm again when she started
to back away from him and held her tighter against his body. “What’s your problem? I heard you liked
listening to orders at the pce.” He hissed, Doris pushed on his chest to get away from him. “Let me
go, you animal! You’re hurting me!” Doris started hitting his hand that gripped her, heughed as if she
was acting like this for his own entertainment. It infuriated her. “Listen here,” he grabbed her shoulders
and shook her harshly like a rag doll. “I don’t trust you in this camp. I know you’re more than you im
and I won’t let them feed you information that’ll get us all killed.” He leaned 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 phase him. “I’m not-” “Save it, little one. Jules and Darrell
knew exactly what was best for this pack and I’m going to finish what they started.” He picked her up off
the ground as if she
A full moon. weighed nothing. Doris panicked and punched him directly in the throat like Erik had once
told her to do. The man dropped her and coughed roughly as he held his throat. Doris quickly stood and
ran from him, but she could hear his steps close behind her. He grabbed the back of her sweater and
yanked her back, she fell to the ground and grabbed at anything she could reach before he lifted her up
again. “You have some fight in you, don’t ya?” Heughed like a madman. It was 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 instantly with a scream. e Doris wiped the blood off her
face before she crawled away from him and went to stand. He caught her leg and forced her back down
to the ground. “Oh no you don’t, you bitch!” He growled. She could hear the wolf in his voice and felt her
veins freeze over. If he changed into his wolf, 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 much
stronger, 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 pure fear. “You
stupid bitch, you deserve this,” Suddenly he was off her as if he was never there. Doris took a deep
breath and slowly turned to see Enzo holding him by his throat off to the side. A group formed 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. He held him as if he
weighed nothing off the ground. Stephen gripped his arm and struggled for breath. Those around them
watched nervously. Elena put her arm around Doris tofort her, Doris watched the scene almost as if
she was detached from the moment. She didn’t feel as if she was 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 visit to
themtely?” Enzo said through his teeth. She could tell he was tightening his grip with every word he
spoke. A sick part of Doris was d 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 him down and allowed
Stephen to breath. The man gulped in air and stumbled back until he fell on his ass. Enzo ced his
hands behind his back and walked towards him. “What do you have to say for yourself, Stephen? I think
your wife would like to know what you were trying to do to our guest out here in the snow.” “I–I was
drunk, I wasn’t thinking.” Stephen stuttered. He still hadn’t stood from where he fell, he cowered away
from Enzo. It made Doris realize that they loved him as much as they feared him. “We were just talking,
weren’t we?” He asked Doris desperately. Enzo nced at Doris. “No. We weren’t.” Doris said with her
chin raised. No more would she be silent about what happened 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 thedy, she says you’re lying.” Enzo pulled a small
knife from his pocket and leaned over to grip Stephen’s head. “You know what I do to liars and to those
who disobey me.” “No, please! I just wanted to talk, I’m sorry she got scared!” Enzo gripped his 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 you won’t
be able to lie to me again.” Enzo took a step back from the screaming man and tried to speak over 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, he slipped in his own blood as
he tried to stand. Once he finally did, Enzo pped his shoulder so hard, he almost fell again. “There.
Now, if your wife wants to know what you did to deserve this, point her to me. I’ll let her know exactly
what you tried to do to this

you for that.” Doris whispered. She lowered her eyes to the ground. “Never thank me, ever. I don’t
deserve to be thanked for such things.” They stopped at her door and Doris rubbed her tired eyes only to
see a few scrapes on her hands. She hadn’t noticed them during the fight, but they were there now. “Will
you be alright?” He asked and stepped back. “I will eventually.” “Good, I wouldn’t want you to miss
tomorrow.” “What’s tomorrow?” Doris asked weakly. “A full moon.” aExclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
