The opposing werewolf snorted, watching the witch give up her ghost. Good riddance to rubbish. He thought, reaching out to his second in command through the mind link. He frowned deeply as he got no response. The latter was his best friend. He hoped that he wasn’t dead. He tried reaching him again, but failed, startled to his feet when he heard a loud bang.
What is that? He thought, remembering that he was right in the middle of a warfare, and worse, he was outnumbered.
No, he couldn’t die this way. His father definitely won’t be concerned-yes, but won’t be proved to be right either. He had something to prove to his father.
His eyes caught Derek who was cowering before Anthony. The blue orb, whatever it was, was working. No, he couldn’t let that happen.
Letting his eyes wander back to the silver, he took in a deep breath softly, still surprised that the others in the room had forgotten his existence. Although he was happy about this, he was annoyed that they had forgotten him that easily
Was he that insignificant and small? He thought, turning his lips up in disgust, focusing his eyes on the silver eyes. He was going to pull out the silver belt without touching it.
Unknown to his father and fellow pack members, he had little powers, which although insignificant compared to his younger brother’s, was still useful in times like this. It was better even that they didn’t know, that way, he would usurp them from the power without them knowing. Yes. He wasn’t going to let his younger brother rule over him, when he was rightly the soon to be Alpha.
He sighed, deciding to forget his family issues at the moment, and focus on the silver belt in front of him. It needed a lot of focus devoid of distractions, and a whole lot of energy. That was the turnoff of his; unlike his brother whose magic power occurs naturally like breathing, his own usage usually turned out rough, a labored one like a woman about to push out the baby from her womb.
He smirked, as he watched the silver belt rise steadily from the witch’s waist.
He took stop steps back, not wanting to be affected by the silver, though that was futile as he could already feel the pain pangs, the sort which only a good silver could cause. He was sure that he was right. The queen had planned on killing them off.
Bitch! He thought, pausing to survey his surroundings, calculating on the best spot to throw the silver belt.
He smiled evilly as his gaze landed on Anthony. Yeah, that’s the one. He concluded. The one welding the strange power.
With acute precision, he, with his power, flung the power straight ahead, taking in a deep victorious breath when the belt landed around Anthony’s neck.
Anthony shrieked in pain, hot tears burning through his eyes as he felt the band of silver around his neck. He felt his heart and body burning up, heard Maya and Freya screaming, and slightly saw Aiden approaching him steadily, before slumping weakly to the floor, aware that he would live, but not sure for how long, for the beast was still there and alive. With the way he was feeling, he didn’t know if calling forth the blue orb was possible any more, at least for the day, and there was the beast. He hadn’t completely subdued it. It would arise more violently now. A tear slipped past his eyes as he thought of his failure. He hadn’t been able to keep his promise to his brother. He hadn’t helped him not to turn against the pack.
Faintly, he heard Melvina’s worried shouts in his head, and then he shut his eyes.
Derek whimpered, seeing his savior gone. He was aware of the drastic changes in the stance of his friends. They were wary of him. Would they kill him? He doubted that. But they would fight, at least until Anthony woke up. He was aware that Leo had knocked out the offending werewolf. Shouldn’t he had cut off his stupid head? He thought angrily, wondering why his chief warrior hadn’t exuded justice for Anthony. Or was he keeping him for questioning? He cussed his fate the next minute, as he felt the beast rile up again from within his wolf, taking over its features slowly but steadily.
He sighed as he heard Freya gasp, as he saw Aiden’s eyes widen.
He was changing to the full form of the beast, and he couldn’t do anything about that.
He tried to tell them to run away, feeling the truness and weight of the power of the beast, but rather what had come out of his mouth was:
“You all will die, now that your savior has passed out.”
He battled fruitlessly with tears which only showed as blood dripping from the beast’s eyes.
“Stop crying, you idiot.” The beast reprimanded, and he sighed, not believing that he was a vessel for destruction now.
“First, I will kill your savior before proceeding to you all.” The beast started, walking towards Anthony’s still body, when Aiden suddenly appeared in front of him.
“What are you? You are surely not a vampire.” The beast, now in its full form, huge and mighty with horns protruding from all sides of his body, the ones on his head being the largest, said, stopping in his movements.
“You should know what I am.” Aiden replied, before welding a ball of fire in his hands.
“A ball of fire? Haha… you should know that it doesn’t affect me. Nothing does, except the blue balls which it seems, fortunately, that only the wolf there can weld it in this pack.” The beast mentioned, smiling evilly.
Aiden scoffed, careful not to let his fear show. The Alferic beast also thrived on fear too, any negative emotion at all. But he was aware that the beast was right. Nothing works against them but for that blue flame that the werewolf had wielded. Seeing it, he had been surprised, wondering how that could be possible, concluding thereafter that the werewolf must be a hybrid.
His plan at the moment was to fight off the beast, no matter how long it took, until the wolf boy woke up, or Emma came in.
Could she do anything now?
He wasn’t sure. The fact that the attackers thought that she was the prophecy, was already unnerving.
He was about to throw the ball to the beast which was now advancing towards him fast, when he heard a familiar voice ring across the room.
“Bloodugering Hell! Ava, it looks worse in here!”
