Rescuing His Captive Mate: Saving The Future Luna

I had watched on as Star had grabbed her head in pain. She seemed to be deep in some intense thoughts. Perhaps she had finally found her wolf, maybe she was fighting the command that Howard the gross had given her.

After a minute or two Star began to scream as she fell to her knees. The scream went on and on in one long high note. Neither Howard nor I moved for a moment at all. But it seemed like Star had finally freed herself of his control. She was no longer trying to move toward me and when the screaming stopped she just slumped to the floor.

I hoped she was just exhausted, that she was alright.

"NO!" Howard the nasty screamed when he realized he had lost his pawn. "NO! She was mine to control, she was mine to command. How, how did you break her from me?"

"It\'s the power of the mate bond, you ass wipe. The mate bond will win in the end every time."

"NO!" He roared this time, abandoning his whining tone of voice. "I will kill you for this. I will kill you and take her back."

With that Howard put an extra burst of speed and strength into his fighting then. He managed to flip me off of him and roll to his side. I rolled as well, landing crouched on my feet with the flip that Howard had given me. It looked like Howard was finally ready to take this fight seriously.

"Prepare to die, wolf boy." He growled at me. "I will show you what I am capable of."

When Howard rose then he had a ball of fire flickering on his right hand, his only remaining hand. He acted like he was going to throw the fireball for a moment but he was hesitating. Was he reluctant to kill Star? I hoped so, because then I wouldn\'t have to worry about her being hurt in the battle that was about to ensue.

  I let instinct and rage take over again. They were the two things that would do me the most good right now. With them I was a stronger fighter. With them, I could save my Star.

I ran at him again and grabbed his other wrist. I didn\'t even notice the heat coming off the flames he was holding. I just ignored it completely and pulled with all my might. I felt the arm move toward me slightly, but it didn\'t leave the body yet. I did, however, feel Howard fly towards me. With another flipping motion I made him land on his side. Flaming hand pinned to his side.

I went berserk then. I grabbed the wing on his exposed left shoulder and ripped it clean off his body. I put my foot on the side of his head and grabbed that curving demon horn. With a quick, angry tug I pulled that from him as well. Oddly enough the place where the horn had been started to bleed as well.

I didn\'t stop there either. I grabbed his left knee and placed a foot against his hip. That too was separate from his body with a little force and raging anger. His other leg went in a similar manner.

With a kick I flipped him over and grabbed the elbow of his only remaining limb. I braced my boot clad foot right between where his thighs had been, right on what would have been his manhood if he wasn\'t nothing but a spineless coward.

My foot dug into his most sensitive of areas as I prepared to remove his arm. The flames were still flickering the same as they had been before, but still I didn\'t feel them or notice them at all. I pushed hard with my foot as I yanked on the elbow I was holding. In as smooth a motion as the others had been I ripped that off as well.

Howard had been screaming constantly since I had ripped his wing from his back and the screams only got more and more intense as I went on. I was honestly surprised he was able to keep the flames going during that whole time.

While I held his low limp arm in my hands I turned it to look at the fire he was still holding. I still didn\'t feel the heat, even though I was now putting my fingers directly into the flames.

"Nothing but an illusion." I laughed as then I tossed the arm to the side. "Did you have anything to fight me with?" I asked him.

"No." He was sobbing now, blood pouring from just about everywhere it could on him "No I didn\'t. I have only basic magic. I could not fight you with it at all. I was hoping to intimidate you like I did everyone else. They were so easily fooled with the simplest of trickery."

"You worthless piece of shit. You were the reject of the family, weren\'t you? Your demon momma thought you were too weak and your warlock daddy knew you were nothing."

"Shut up." He cried. "Shut up. I was going to make my father proud of me."

\'Your strength was purely physical and next to me that was nothing. That\'s why you didn\'t fight me when I took Star from you to begin with. You got yourself this far with bluffing, but when you saw me kill that wolf you knew that you were no match for me."

"You ruined everything. I was going to make my father proud of me. I was going to give him what it was he truly wanted."

"You never should have taken her back from me. You should have left her alone."

I growled the last of the words then, as I punched forward. Just like the wolf downstairs I felt my fist enter his chest cavity and his beating heart beneath my fingers. I didn\'t need to see his heart, I didn\'t want to. So I just shifted my fingers into claws and punctured it five times, all at the same time.

I quickly pulled my hand out of his chest as he began convulsing. Right as he was on the brink of death, I grabbed the sides of his head and pulled hard, ripped his head from his body as well.

I had done exactly as I had planned. I ripped him apart, completely. He was nothing but a scattering of useless pieces now.
