Hello all!
I hope you are well and ready for some more Flash Fiction. As always, we are given our photo prompt by our wonderful Friday Fictioneer leader, Rochelle . The rules are to write a story in 100 words, using the photo prompt as inspiration. I do apologise for my absence last week and for being behind with reading everyone’s work. I have been auditioning for a play, ‘The Hollow’ and I’m delighted to say I got the part of Gerda!
So here is my attempt for this week. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks to Piya Singh for this week’s photo prompt.
Bite Me.
I gasped for breath as I pressed myself up against the cold stone wall.
Trapped.
The Alpha stepped out of the shadows, golden eyes wide with excitement.
His ears pricked up as howls echoed around us.
They were coming.
He edged closer, his silver fur glistened in the moonlight.
My heart raced.
The air vibrated around us, bones snapped, fur slid away to reveal soft skin.
“Caught you.” Zac said, lifting my chin.
“Bite me.” I snapped.
“Oh, I intend to.”
“No…you can’t.”
I gasped as he feathered kisses down my neck and circled my shoulder.
“Mine.” His teeth pierced my flesh, claiming me.
“I…” It was overwhelming…I could feel him everywhere.
My wolf took over and I bit down on his shoulder.
“Mine.”
A lone howl filled with sorrow, split the night.
What have I done?

Thank you! I couldn’t at the time think of another word/ sentence that worked when it came to sorrow….think it should have been mournful….still not sure lol Then all hell broke loose as water came through the ceiling from the bathroom! On the positive side I saved the computer but got wet myself lol 🙂

What a sensual, passionate affair this is, full of darkness and fear – and not a little lust too! Who can resist and Alpha? But what has she let herself in for? A great tale 🙂

I can definitely see the potential in it – the atmosphere you’ve conjured in so few words is great and can definitely see it as a long story. Very readable. 🙂

You know, I always enjoyed Lon Chaney as the Wolfman. Those old Universal horror flicks were fun! And Lon’s character, Larry Talbot, was very sympathetic.

Werewolves, yes, but why did one have to leave/die?

No one died or left…the lone howl was another wolf who was upset that the two had bonded/ mated.

As soon as I saw “Alpha” I was pretty sure we were witnessing werewolves (a wonderful topic, btw). The mating as you described was intense and how I would imagine it would be. Really well done, Heidi.
