wolf by john (reading strategies book txt) 📖

Nightfall over the land. Not a normal land. The darkness here felt colder and lasted longer.
This land had never known peace, before the darkness fell the kings of the land had fought, but then came the darkness.
It fell from another land, one of suffering and bloodshed.
In the beginning things were simple, kings ruled lands and people and they fought for there kings and land , but know it all began to get polluted . 15 years ago the first settlers arrived in the land, the were gypsy types from some eastern Land (known as Lycons), there numbers grew, now one noticed other than there numbers anything unusual,
then they arrived!
More powerful and of wealth (the Darklords), no one seen the lords and ladies but there henchmen and money did there bidding.
Only when they arrived did people start to notice unusual behaviour and people going missing.

John was a barely 15 the night it happened, during his childhood john knew he was different from the rest of the children
, Some how he was quick, smarter more faster, he never knew why until this day of the full moon of his 15 birthday.
That night he was drawn to the moon, he felt pain like he had never felt before, as the moon rose so did the pain increase until there stood a Lycan, a werewolf, not some hideous creature of folklore but a muscular beast of wolf grace and slender form, john howled at the moon
And in return he heard the howls of other echo back at him, he knew then he was not alone.

As darkness fell Marissa brushed her hair tonight was special, she was turning 13 and she would tonight go on her first Lycan hunt. For centuries here people had fought against the evil lycans that had fought to destroy her people, and tonight she would finally get to reap revenge on them.

As she sat brushing here hair her father entered her chamber, he was a tall pale man with white hair, and he stood behind her and placed his hand s on her shoulders. Tonight my dear you will go to hunt the Lycans and as I am king of our people you must make sure you do not dishonour us .
She turned to her father, her eyes dark. Father I will not dishonour our family, she rose and kissed him on the cheek. As the dark aroused the fading sky, Marissa took her place with her people. The stood and as the sun finally sunk from the sky they were able to take there form. Blackness perused as they changed form into bats.

The Darklord for all there power desired one thing and one thing only BLOOD, and it was what they need and wanted and nothing or anyone would get in there way for it.


John looked at the moon, he was unsure of this wolf form he had taken, he felt strong and free, he howled. Never had he felt so alive, he had heard stories of the wolf people, a curse passed on through generation to generation of ancestors bitten by wolfs, until now he had thought it was a story to scare children to sleep. But yet here he stood in the proud form of a wolf.
As john looked to the moon he noticed a darkness moving over it , a blackness that seemed to start to erase the moon

It was then the howls got louder as the darkness from the sky fell upon the land, ripping through the town like a hurricane, as the darkness fell and touched the ground it to the form of humans, Darklords , they set about attacking the weak first biting there necks and drawing blood.

John watched as he say it unfold, fearing for his life he ran toward his home, as he pounded a Darklord appeared and struck him he moved side wards hitting a wall, and moving forwards in a ball finally resting against a wall, he jumped to his feet growling and turned to face his attacker.

He saw not some evil monster in front of him but a beautiful girl, she looked at him with her dark eyes and smiled, she then said I am sorry puppy I meant you no harm , she kneeled on the ground and put her hand towards the wolf .John felt no hatred for her in fact he could not stop himself walking up and licking here hand .

Melissa slowly leaned down and kissed the wolf on the nose. She whispered from now on my
Beast you will be mine, and with that she picked john up under her arm and made her way towards the darkness, as he looked back the wolf saw what remained of his village in flames and heard the screams of the people as the Darklords sucked the last of there life from them.

John woke, it was still dark outside, he heard his mistress in the next chamber with someone ,he closed his eyes to pretend to sleep and listened .Listen to me Marissa you can not keep that creature , it is a Lycon and it will turn on you .if you want I will get you a dog or if you want a human slave but NOT a wolf ,every second he remains in the castle he puts us all in danger .
Father last night was my first raid and I am entitled to keep anything I capture if I choose not to kill it .Yes Marissa that is the law however, most bring back a slave to serve and protect them when they sleep at daylight, NOT a beast like that thing .So you will not honour our laws father and I must destroy it? . Her father looked at his daughter, he knew she could be stubborn and she was actually right, no where did it say she could not capture a Lycon. Very well my dear you may keep the beast for now, however there are those amongst us that would use this as maybe a weakness of there king , and twist it to gain power , so be warned daughter the first sign of trouble and I will rip its throat out myself .with that he spun round as his cloak turned and fell in the air he was gone .

Marissa entered the chamber and sat on the bed, John raised his head and looked at her .she smiled at him and beckoned him, he rose on all 4s and walked towards here and In one swift leap landed beside her on the bed, she hugged him round the neck and whispered, don’t worry I wont let anyone harm you .she look at the wolf which lay obedient beside her, now what can I call you? I think I shall call you Boo.Marissa stood up and got undressed and got into bed , John lay still at the bottom of the bed .as he lay he thought of the beautiful girl he had just seen undress and how a few days ago he had been a normal boy but now was a wolf and pet of a Darklord princess.


A strange chill entered the room, john raised his head a little, a bat flew through the window and landed as a man , as he changed for into a Darklord , Marissa awoke and stared at the intruder , lord ragas what is the meaning of this intrusion , forgive me my princess but I have always been a loyal servant of your family and I feel I must warn you , tonight the Darklords council agreed that you will marry Lord hectare , I fear he will use you to overthrow your father princess , I have tried to warn your father but he will not listen .thank you lord ragas for telling me this , now go now before someone finds you here .lord ragas bowed and turned and in a flash was changed again into a bat and leaving through the window.
