Chapter 23: Chapter 23

"We're doom!"

Aaron repeated leaning forward to his office desk with his hands on both sides holding himself up. While Eric is watching outside the window I could see him frown and a little bit angry. The other three sat there in their seat like statues.

"We last saw each other near the Blood Moon pack down south" I slowly told them

"and that was four years ago," Eric replied without looking in our way.

"True but you're not getting my point here" their attention was back to mine "she lives with her relatives until a year ago she told me through a letter that she has moved to the Northern bridge Court," they look confused. "It's an undercover academy for witches hidden within the mountains of Edinburgh" I explain "and Jea happens to run that."

"That mountain is only for those who wish for their death to be quick" Eric scoff at me "but then again that was a year ago" he shook his head.

There's something he doesn't like and he's taking it on me. The Eric I met this morning turns bipolar.

"I'm sorry Alpha, it feels like you have a problem with me if you do. Please I would appreciate it if you could emphasize what did I do wrong."

He laughs shortly shaking his head then throwing me his dagger look.

"You're the problem here Elle,"

he made his way to me none of the others move except for Jay who moves to standby me Lucian nodded his head no to him. "If you hadn't shown up in our life our packs still haven't gone through this. Hunters wouldn't be lurking around demanding war for us."

Eliz whimper cowering and shutting herself off from me. It was me all alone now to battle against Eric even though it felt like I'm back to square one again like the day I saw him with Claire I still put on a motionless face.

"Why don't you sacrifice yourself and save our werewolf race-" Jay cut him off "you forgot Alpha that she isn't the only one involved in this," he growled at Jay "stay out of it."

"Alpha Eric"

Aaron moves to hold him back as Eric was nearer to me. My hand went up to stop Aaron a tear slip from my eyes

"I'm sorry Alpha Eric but I want to live. I survived too long to only die for something I never did. I know I'm causing trouble since I came late but I won't die, not when I haven't proved my innocence and I'll find Jea by myself if you can't do it"

'then I'm going to disappear from your lives' I was going to say it loud the knock on the door interrupts me.

"Apologies Alpha breakfast is ready," I wipe out my tear and went out of the room. I walk aimlessly in the woods with my mind all blank and heartbroken into zillion pieces.

Growls were heard, birds in the trees flew then there were shouting and a gunshot was heard too.

I was as a human on high and I'm pretty sure this is how it feels. My feet walking on air as my world feels perplexed with hurts and pains that I didn't even bother.

Footsteps came nearer I saw two figures come out of the trees smirking in my direction "looks like we got a pretty one," they smelt like human "hunters" I growl in return like it was my wolf.

I'm defending less now Eliz was not responding. One with the guns shot at me and I dodge using my speed. Another one throws me a knife and it got slid my arm burning it. It was made of wolfsbane, I keep dodging their bullets and knives by moving behind from tree to tree.

Their attacks stopped and just when I feel relief, their numbers multiply and I'm surrounded.

Eliz wasn't even helping me at all, 'I can do this I told myself 'might as well fight til death.' I moved on the other side only to be shot by their silver bullet and I thank the trees for saving me.

Growls were near I felt Eliz surfacing she howls the name Zhipa before forcing us to shift. When we did she jump to climb from trees using her claws and kill hunters from behind one by one. Other wolves arrived and everything went into a massive war.

Bite, claw snaps then we move on to others it was the last of them or so I thought so. I was busy focusing on the wolves before me that I forgot to look back.

A roar was heard near as I snap the head of the last hunter. A wolf jumped above my head, turning around a hunter dropped dead in front of my eyes and he was the last.

The sun was high the wolf changing back into his human form. He was 6'7 foot tall, with dirty blonde hair with a well-built body. It was like he was making an entrance for a movie. He walks towards me in his birthday suit while I just stay still in my wolf form. His face looking all business, someone walked from behind and greet him

"Alpha Zeus."

Tomorrow is our father's day so I would like to wish a Happy Father's Day in advance to your loved ones
