Aleena’s POV
.
I couldn’t help but thank Julia, who had already told me before dying that they would come, come for me. I hadn’t taken the oath of the Alpha at this pack yet, so I couldn’t mind linking anyone, but I believe Noah could handle the things because even he was a trained warrior.
I arrived here in this pack late because I was busy taking control of the Fire Cross Pack. Earlier I had thought of killing my so-called mate while he would be sleeping, but then, I would be tagged as COWARD, and the pack members of Fire Cross Pack would go against me for killing their Alpha. It wasn’t that they were happy with Liam either because he, his father, his grandfather, and his great grandfather was ruling over the pack with cruelty. So, to end it and to act as savior to them and to win everyone’s trust, I had to challenge him for the dual and kill him.
That’s why I waited for half an hour more, in his room, seeing him fucking some whore. I waited for Leia to return and this invisibility to go to deal with manwhore.
I knew what risk I was taking by challenging him, I also knew that I was inviting death, but at the same time, I also knew the profit and the award that I would be getting after the dual. But damn to the hand-to-hand combat, I lost my pendant somewhere in the fight.
I didn’t have time to look for it because I had to give priority to my fight before the pendant. I ripped his heart out, killing him then and there, making everyone howl and cheer stopped.
What were they thinking of?
Just because I was a woman, I would lose to someone who knew how to use his dick more than his hands?
I was severely injured after the dual, and there was a part of chance that they could have attacked me to end my chapter, but I was already ready with the wolfsbane gas. I wasn’t here without preparation.
But gladly, they didn’t. Instead, everyone bowed down in front of me when they saw Hudson, the Beta of the pack, bow his head in front of me. Though he looked young, he was older than he looked, older than Daniel or Stephen.
Maybe he had sensed the Lycan’s blood in my vein or many more maybe… I wasn’t sure.
The very first thing that I did after that was to take the Oath of the Alpha, to gain control over all the wolves of the pack. The best thing was that the Beta was in my support, even though I was a female.
As I said before, I didn’t know Hudson that well, so I couldn’t decipher his reason for supporting me.
All these things took time, and I reached at dad’s pack a bit late and then found my chosen mate a bit pissed. I couldn’t help but feel happy that someone was there who really cared for me and was pissed at me because he was worried for me.
While Daniel looked quite annoyed.
And for the first time in my life, I realized how irritating and bossy he was. Yes, I had heard a lot of great things about him, and maybe he might even possess them, but I doubt I could stay with him for long because when I would have pretended to be someone who I wasn’t.
If someone else who has been at Stephen’s place, then either he would have asked me to stay at home and rest for a while or would have tagged along with me, but Stephen didn’t. He trusted me with whatever I was planning and helped me a lot by giving me my weapons which was a big help.
I recalled dad’s words about him.
(I’m so happy that you chose Stephen because he is a gem, even if I would have searched in the entire world for a perfect mate for you.
Maybe there are a lot of perfect mates out there, but not everyone can tackle a smart she-wolf. That’s why I said that he is an ideal mate for you.
Alpha Daniel might be the perfect bachelor in the state, but he is also known for his short temper. Someone with a lot of patience could only handle him, and I’m sorry to say that you are anything but is not a patient person. At the same time, Stephen can tolerate your anger, put up with your stubbornness and your attitude, and will still always be there for you.)
I shook my head at my stupidity to become the Luna of one of the strongest packs in the state and to have a perfect bachelor in the state as my mate. The truth was I didn’t need an Alpha to become the Luna of one of the strongest packs in the state because I was capable of doing that on my own.
And talking about a perfect mate, just like one foundation couldn’t be perfect for all skin colors, one man couldn’t be perfect for all the women.
I would rather be with the one who chose me and would always keep choosing me each and every day of my life, the one who could put up with my stubbornness and my attitude and would still always be there for me.
I thought that now I would happily enjoy my time with Stephen and resume the very first thing that we had continued last night.
I mean, it would be better to mark and mate each other before Alpha Ceremony, right? I mean, I knew Leia wanted this, even Thunder, even Stephen, and even me?
But it seemed like not all the things had to go as per my planning.
“Noah, what is the number of the vampires?” I asked because I couldn’t mind-link the warriors, nor they could mind linking me.
“They are around a hundred.”
“Eva, you might know where the bunker is. Go and stay there with all the kids and pregnant ladies.”, Daniel said. “Mom, Aunt, Nora, and Paige. You all will join Eva.”, He added. I was thankful that he didn’t ask me to join the bunker.
“Why will I be joining the bunker?” Nora asked.
“Exactly. We know how to fight.”, Paige added.
“Guys, we don’t have much time.”, I said and looked at Stephen before shifting and running toward the northern border of the pack, which was almost connected with the stone Moon pack. I used it ALMOST because there was a four-lane road.
‘Don’t worry, Lina! My warriors were already there, and they would easily handle them.’ Stephen’s mind linked me.
‘That’s great news, but still, I don’t want anyone to die because of my work OR I would be responsible for that, and trust me, that is the last thing that I wanted to happen after dad’s death.’ I replied him. Immediately I heard the loud, piercing scream. By listening, everyone’s ears would have turned numb and being a werewolf, it was not at all helping us.
‘It’s one of the gifts of vampires.’, Leia said, trying to cover her ears with her paws. I quickly shifted and tore my t-shirt and pushed it in my ear so that it could give relief to my ear for a while, but I had to save others’ sensitive ears as well. Thankfully by that time, I had already reached the border, and warriors were struggling to handle that loud echo. Blood was oozing out of their ears because of the pain, while the other vampires had used cotton in their ears and were killing my warriors one by one.
These bastards.
Grabbing my gun loaded with vervain and shot right into the vampire’s head, who had been the pain in the ass for everyone, making her burn into ass. And this incident grabbed a lot of attention from me.
Oh No!
That’s not good news.
‘Don’t worry. I’m with you this time.’, Leia said confidently. Soon, Stephen and the other wolves joined me. Both the team glared at each other and damned to this rainy season, because of which these leeches could walk in the day.
‘Leia, Aleena! Listen to me carefully.’ I heard Eva’s voice in my head. ‘I’m sorry that I can’t help you with my powers because it will affect my pup, but you two can also use a slight amount of my vampire powers.’, She said.
Could we?
‘My powers are to freeze the time, manipulate the time, create another timeline, and all other things related to time. You both can’t do that, but you guys can slow down the time. Just focus!!’, Saying this, she disappeared from my mind.
Could she control time?
Could she freak control time?
‘For now, concentrate here.’, Leia said, on which I nodded my head and pulled out both my daggers out of my waist, holding them with both hands.
‘Ready?’ I asked Stephen.
‘Ready.’
I looked around and found Daniel, Uncle, Dad, Nora, Paige, Noah, and others standing with me in their wolf form.
“Pain,” One of the vampires used his gift.
Shit!
I was expecting to feel everyone to feel the pain, but that pain was bearable. I looked at the wolf beside Stephen, Daniel! His wolf had power, too-the power of the shield.
Was this because of him being mated with Eva?
Maybe, maybe not! When they realized that their primary source of power was not working on us. They finally attacked us, especially me. Now, it was my turn to use my power. I released my Alpha aura, not knowing how exactly this worked, and stabbed the hearts of the two vampires at the same time, who came near me.
Damn, things didn’t work out just like Eva had mentioned. Leaving that part, I kept attacking the vampires.
‘They are here for you, Lina.’ Stephen’s mind linked.
‘I know.’
‘Don’t worry, Aleena. We’re here.’, Dad said.
‘Yes! As long as we are here, nothing with happen to you.’, Daniel said, shocking me. ‘We are covering for you. Use whatever things you need to attack them. You might know better to handle them.’
I started using my mind on how to kill all the vampires at the same time.
Fire or Sun?
“FREEZE!!!”
I heard her loud scream Eva and saw everyone getting into statue mode except Daniel and me? Maybe because her blood was running in my blood, and Daniel was marked by her?
“What the hell, Angel?” Daniel growled, shifting into the human form while I used that time to kill the vampires one by one as fast as I could. “You’re risking our pup’s life by using your power.”, Daniel growled again while I didn’t stop myself from killing the vampires, knowing that I didn’t have much time with me.
“Just a minute, Dan.”, Eva said, breathing heavily.
Shit!
Just like werewolves were not allowed to shift in pregnancy.
In the same way, a hybrid was not allowed to use any of its powers because it risks the pup’s life.
“Aleena is also my baby.”, She added.
“Damn you!” Daniel growled before running toward to help me. “Killing one by one will take so much time. Eva doesn’t have that much time.”, he said.
“Arrange everyone in one place. So, that we can burn all of them at the same time.”, I said, to which he nodded. Who would have thought that we would work together?
After a minute, everyone was burning in fire.
“Unfreeze,” Eva said and held her head, feeling unwell. And my eyes widened in shock when I saw one vampire running toward her in anger.
Shit! We missed one. Everyone ran toward Eva to save her and her pup because they knew that their speed had no match with vampires.
“Eva!!!” I screamed in horror, and all of a sudden, everyone sped ten times slower than before.
Literally Everyone!!
It was as if they were running at a speed of a rabbit before then. Now, they had time even lift their leg. Using this as my one and only chance, I shifted and ran toward that vampire and jumped on him, ripping his head from his body. Once I killed him, I looked around and sensed my nearby to check if any vampires were around, but thankfully no one was there.
“Unfreeze,” I said the same thing, recalling what Eva had said, but no one got to their average speed.
‘Why didn’t it work?’ I asked Leia.
‘Because you have not frozen anyone in the first place. How about you think from heart or mind whatever to get in normal speed?’ Leia suggested. ‘Because if this will be the speed, then it will take years to have sex with our mate.’
‘Seriously, Leia?’
‘What? That is also the concern, isn’t it?’, She exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes and relaxed first before thinking them to get in average speed, and thankfully it worked.
“Angel?” Daniel quickly grabbed her in his arms while Thunder came close to us, sniffing around us, checking for any injuries, if any.
“I’m fine, Thunder.’, I said, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing his forehead.
‘I’m glad you are.’, he responded at the same time. My nose hit with the fresh smell of blood. Well, I wasn’t the only one who sensed that. I turned my head in the direction of Eva and looked at her in horror again when I realized that she was bleeding.
Moon Goddess! Her pup!!
“Angel, Angel,” Daniel tried to shake her body, but she had lost her consciousness by then.
This was not good news!
