A Gold Alpha For A Silver Alpha

Some may think that for a herd like ours an attack at any time would be a piece of cake. But that is only if we look at it coldly, since any attack implies an undefined number of destruction, wounded, and in the worst case, dead. If we add to that the fact that only hours before we had suffered a violation of our borders resulting in the casualty of several of our own. Well, needless to say, we were caught off guard. Rafael and I arrived as quickly as we could, the housing part was normally where the younger and older people were left take refuge in case of emergency. Near my house, in the central part of the territory, from the time we realized we were under attack to when we were in position, only a couple of minutes could have passed. That's why I was very surprised when I arrived and discovered that there were already bloodsuckers swirling against the less prepared, of course, according to our protocol there were still some warriors protecting them. But boy were there too many vampires, how had at least a dozen of them been able to get to this point in such a short time. Casiana let out a growl full of hate that I shared, I gave a quick analysis of what was going on in order to make a good pla You on the right and me on the left, surround them and then attack the center. I said to my mate as I made a decision. Take care wolfie, we still need to live an eternity together. The same I can say puppy, if you die I'll come looking for you in the afterlife and you won't like to see me in a bad mood His hoarse laughter was still echoing through my head as I threw myself headlong into battle. The first thing I did was to take out a bloodsucker who was having fun bothering a couple of girls trying to get home, I didn't hesitate to go straight for his internal organs, and he was so interested in playing with them that he didn't see me coming fast enough. I killed him without hesitation or remorse, the girls thanked me and ran home where their mother was waiting for them with a baby in her arms, who also thanked me from a distance. I nodded back before looking for my next target. One particular vampire was standing near a group of warriors who were trying to control him without any success due to long silver whip that he did not hesitate to brandish in all directions. I returned to my human form to make myself a more difficult target, I ran between the warriors while yelling at them through the bond to step aside, I jumped as the vampire became aware of my presence, the whip moved mercilessly towards my throat and 1 had to leave myself completely to avoid, I immediately circled around to avoid a second strike ar stood up. 1 pulled my claws out and snarled at him with my fangs out, a gesture he returned as he fiddled with the weapc -Go with the others,” I shouted to those around us, “I'll take care of this one," I assured him as I spun around measuring h strength. -Do you think you can beat me bitch?” he said releasing a whip that cut a thin line on my right arm, “Why don't I better teach you a couple of tricks, ready, sit down” and the whip cracked again making me duck and turn in a movement that seemed too much like a pirouette. I barked at him in irritation at his little joke and his hostile laughter full of pride in himself. -My turn. I warned him before throwing small stones that I had picked up in my defensive maneuver. I aimed straight at his face so he had to turn sharply to avoid it, I threw two more to disorient him as he advanced and finally the last one hit his leg making him scream in pain as it had gone through it. -Fr+ig bitch. He said and began to give frantic attacks of which I just dodged the best I could. While he thought he was driving me back by the occasional cuts that appeared on my skin I was only a few meters away from getting him to the point he wanted, a tree finally crossed my path and due to an oversight of the bloodsucker the whip got caught between the branches. Before he could realize that he had fallen into my trap I approached him and stuck my claws in his throat, I ripped his windpipe causing him to lose blood at an alarming rate, not satisfied with that I gave an upward kick followed by a spinning one that ended up completely separating his head from his body. I took a couple of deep breaths before a scream caught my attention. A boy no more than ten years old was being bitten by one of those damn leeches while crying and screaming for help. I ran in his direction at all the speed I could and tackled him using excessive force, I grabbed both parts of the vampire’s jaw to free the child who soon broke away as much as he could. The bloodsucker stuck his elbow in my stomach leaving momentarily out of breath, I took the opportunity to break free mostly from my grip, but 1 entangled my legs with his so I couldn't run away, which ended up in us rolling several times on the floor in an attempt to stay on top of each other whil we shared punches and bites. A blow that left me seeing colored dots caused my opponent to gain the upper hand by positioning himself on top of me he began to choke me without caring that my claws were wreaking havoc with as much skin as he could find in my path. My chest was burning with the need to breathe and I was finding it harder and harder to concentrate with my head about explode from the pain. Just then the leech howled in pain weakening its grip on my neck, I removed its hands from my body and dug my claws deep into its stomach tearing it from inside from that point to its chest, where I embedded my hands in search of its heart and exploded it between my fingers. The guy's corpse fell on top of me and I had to push him off me in order to sit up while I recovered my breath and cleane some of the blood that covered my face. {inhaled with difficulty while I watched the same boy trembling with fear a few meters away from me, he was holding a thick branch that was dented at the top and that seemed to be the weapon with which he had attacked the vampire to distract him and kill him. “Thank you," I said to the puppy in a hoarse voice, he nodded, dropped the branch and ran off in the direction of the nearest trees where he didn't hesitate to hide. I thought I told you to be careful Rafael reproached me for the link. It was just a little carelessness, they will be healed by the end of the day. I tried to reassure him as I stood up. When we are alone 1 will lick each one of your wounds until they disappear couple A shiver full of anticipation ran through me. I hope that's not a threat little wolf. Just a promise my beloved And with an emotionally charged smile I ran in the direction of another vampire who was trying to break the door of a house. A few more vampires later, a few more cuts and bruises, and the situation was almost under control. Rafael and I fought back to back attacking the vampires who seemed smarter than the others. We formed a well-oiled machine, and I could understand even better why a mate is the other half of your soul, for no one could have fit in as eas and fluidly as he did. When 1 would attack he would pull back, when I would pull back he would fit me. We were a perfect team, and I understo my mother when she told me that there was a certain beauty in a battle. But it was just as we were about to wipe out all the vampires that a howl of pain such as I had never heard before echoec throughout the valley and paralyzed me. Julietta? Rafael asked me worried, but I could only look in the direction where the sound had come from. Julieta, what happened? That was my mother, Rafael, my mother never howls in pain because she can never be hurt. I said, panicking a little Mom! I screamed for our bond but was met only with silence. My heart pounded with fear as I kept calling out to her without getting any response. Julieta calm down How can I relax when I don't know what happened to her! Panicking won't solve it, let's finish here so we can go and see what happened, if she's ok and it's just a scare she'll be ve angry if we leave our post here before we should. Anod from me and the fatigue I was starting to feel disappeared completely, a couple of bloodsuckers dismembered late and all was clear. I made sure they were all well taken care of and only when more wolves arrived to take care of them wz able to transform and run off in Mom's direction. I howled asking for their exact location and it was Dannia who howled back telling me where to go, and sure enough, mor had chosen the front line at the entrance to the territory to protect. Always putting herself in the front line to protect and attack. I ran with Rafael at my heels at all the speed I was capable of, the closer I got, the ground under my feet stopped being s and became sticky from the amount of blood from the bodies that were lying everywhere. Dozens of our own and dozens of the vampires were lying like lifeless dolls, the smell of death reeked in the air, and I fel my heart in my throat as my heartbeat hammered in my ears. I finally made it to where my mom was, and my stomach rose in my throat as I watched my mother’s body being cradled t my father as he pressed a giant wound into her belly. Dannia was close to them in her wolf form, especially in tearing what was left of the one she assumed was responsible fo my mother's state, on the other side Tasia was crying while Noel hugged her comforting her. I took my human form immediately and dropped to my knees next to my father. she’s not healing," I spoke with desperation while the mercury blood kept coming out, “Why isn't she healing," I asked in panic. She was pierced by a sword of iron, gold and silver,” a nightmarish look darkened my father's eyes, “Someone knew what weapon to use. -But how did they get close enough to use it in the first place? My voice came out hoarse as I tried to hold back my tears. -5-5-5-she came between me and him, it was m-m-my fault," Bella sobbed, and I realized that mom saved my brother's mate’s life by sacrificing her own. -1 don't think she knew it would result in this, only a weapon of the three metals can hurt her like this, and they are almo impossible to create. My father said but that didn’t help the pain in my chest. -Is she, is she...? I couldn't finish asking the question. “No, she’s not dead, although if she doesn't get help she will be in a few hours," my father warned me and my vision fillec with black dots as I got dizzy, “Logan, take care of everything along with Jack, I want every f***g inch of our borders to have someone watching over it, those who are wounded just take care of recovering, and the others burn the bodies, I don't want to leave even the ashes of these bastards for nightfall,” he ordered as he stood up with my mother in his arms Ves Alpha,” answered Logan who at some point had appeared from somewhere. Rafael helped me to stand up since I didn't think my legs could hold my weight at this moment. He held my hand tightly we hurried after my father. Near the house Julian was the first to meet us, he was spotless except for the sweat running down his forehead and back, which could be justified by the crossbow and arrows he was holding. Dad barked at him to look for Caliope no matter what, so my brother couldn't even ask what was going on before running back into the forest. jack along with Diana rushed to our side from the left side, I let go of Rafael’s hand to hug my brother and bury my face i his chest like a little girl. Jack did his best to reassure me as he rocked me and whispered that everything was going to be all right. Rafael” Diana shouted as she reached my partner and grabbed him by the arms in desperation, “He's not here, Max is nc here,” she shook him impatiently, “I went to look for him when everything had calmed down and the door of that damnec jail was open. That was enough to separate my face from my brother's chest to look at him in disbelief. jack sighed as he nodded his head. -Noctem Castra was opened, and everyone inside is either dead or missing, the cub’s cell in particular had signs of a struggle, apparently he was taken by force. -And Leonardo's scent was everywhere, he helped them take him away! My brother's partner exclaimed again and Jack nodded in confirmation. I swallowed as I tried to inhale and exhale to caln down. One look in the direction of my mate along with her friend and I knew, by the goddess Selene I did. That the next time either of them crossed paths with my half-brother they would not stop until they had killed him. The white-haired girl burst into tears and Rafael tried to comfort her as best he could, and for the first time, I couldn't ge jealous of their closeness. Instead my heart ached for both of them, both for the pain Diana so audibly expressed, and for Rafael’s silent suffering. Apart from my own concern for my mother. oh moon goddess, how had things gone so wrong in such a short time?
