Chapter 42: Chapter 42
I eye the trees for a possible opening that would advantage me but slow down Alex and his men, I am not thinking properly but all I know right now is that I am heading west and I have to get to my mate. I pad through the forest and keep my direction headed to the west; I can feel Alex and a few of his men behind me. I don't mind that they are following me because maybe Isaac might need some back up but right now I have to make sure that they don't catch up to me or else I will not even be able to finish my foolish plan. I will admit that it was very stupid of me to jump out of a moving car and I will also admit that our beta is stupid for not locking the door when he knew I wanted to get to my mate at any fucking cost.
My landing was very rough and scrapped some of my skin but I got up immediately and shifted so that I would be fit enough to run but shifting also made my scent ten times stronger and that is why this stupid males are all still on my tail.
I course around a few trees and over a fallen branch, I do not know where I am headed but if I get a whiff of Isaac's scent then I am sure to find him and help. I do not have much to offer in fighting but I have to help and I just will not sit back and watch as he goes to some type of crazed family fight. I am very aware that Isaac is capable of taking on his "cousin" but the worry is consuming me and the worst part is that he is blocking me out and so I could not know if he is doing okay or not. Fxck him for making me worry so much and making me jump out of a moving car- even though that was more of my choice.
Adrenaline is pumping in my veins as my paws hit the ground and my wolf trudges down the forest floor faster and faster, she is weak and I can feel it but she is running harder and faster because she wants to see our mate safe and secure just like me. The urge to smell his scent and see him makes me run faster and Alex's growl from behind me motivates me even more even though it was supposed to do the opposite. I am going to find him and that's all, no one is going to stop me. I am going to be a crazy psycho if I have to and I am sure keeping a werewolf away from their mate is a crime-I am not sure. It is getting easier to see in the dark night and I am sure it is probably somewhere near one in the morning.
My nose finally catches on to what I what and I follow the strong and intoxicating scent of my mate deeper into the forest. I wonder where we are, this is definitely near the pack and it is not any of the places I recognize considering the whole forest and stuff, I have never been here and this place gives off the wrong type of waves. It definitely feels like those woods where there is a haunted hut, sadistic bastards' dispose of their victims' bodies and where general crime is committed.
It is kind of dumb of my kidnapper to hold me near the pack but I guess he wanted Isaac’s reaction to be quick and fast. Just like he is doing right now. He is luring Isaac deep into the forest and I am guessing that a trap awaits him. Oh no!
I follow his scent until it gets stronger and stronger, I can sense that he is nearby but the scent of the other male makes my worry plummet on another level. I run into a large clearing but my wolf stumbles back when I notice the large wolves that are surrounding a large black wolf and a large white wolf-Isaac. The large wolves turn to me when my scent hits their nostrils; they all growl at me and stalk me in a predatory stance. Oh, wrong type of entry.
Isaac's wolf growls at the large rogues that are obviously on his Cousin's side- god can someone tell me his stupid name. I feel like cowering as the fear bites down at my toes but the Luna inside me keeps me strong and I raise my wolf in a dominating way and show the foolish rogues that I will not back down. The sudden sound of bones popping and rearranging grabs my attention and soon enough the large black wolf is replaced with the 'mastermind' of all this craziness I am going through. He stalks over to Isaac's wolf and snickers.
"I told you that she would join us." He muses and smirks at Isaac's wolf that is now pissed off. "You might want to shift for this little cousin." He says with a sick smirk on his face.
He turns and looks at me with a smirk when Isaac does not shift back, Isaac's wolf growls at him and he immediately shifts back into his human form. Isaac turns to me with a look of disapproval on his face while his cousin just looks amused and his smirk grows wider when Alex and the other wolves that were following me decide to crash in.
"Oh how I love when a family comes together." Isaac's cousin grins and rubs his hands together. "I would have expected Zee to also make it." He adds on and feigns hurt.
"Oh come on Wyatt, you know I wouldn't miss kicking your stinking ass for anything." Zaira's voice breaks through the cold and dark air as she steps into the clear in her black fighting combat. "It was a very long run in human form you know and your little slut wouldn't butt you out until I threatened to cut her hair."
I think I am the only one who does not know the script and everyone seems to know who Isaac's cousin is- whose name I just found out is Wyatt thanks to Zaira. I wonder what type of connection he has with Zaira, I'm sure they knew each other since I figured out he was a part of the pack until he went crazy and wanted to take over. All this is crazy and I am sure I am going to get a headache after all this that is if any of us make it through this. Zaira walks up to me and gives me a smile before turning back to face Wyatt and Isaac. Wyatt grinned more when his eyes examined Zaira and the rest of the wolves behind me who were baring their canines at Wyatt's wolves.
"Finally became a warrior, I see. How much have I missed over the last years? Where is my favorite brother, I'm sure he is also a warrior now." Wyatt keeps on smirking and I can hear the amusement in his voice.
Brother? Are there more family relations that I do not know about?
"Don't worry he just had to clean out some slut guts, he'll be arriving any second now." Zaira replies and looks towards the trees that she just came from and that makes me wonder who we are waiting for and what she me means by 'cleaning out some slut guts'.
Just as Zaira looked towards the trees a large and tall figure jumps out of the dark trees and faces Wyatt. Black turns around and faces Zaira. "Did you have to spoil my major entrance?" He asks Zaira in an irritated voice and glares at her.
Only now did it hit my head that I made the connection. Black is Isaac's cousin and Wyatt's younger brother. Black and Wyatt share a few similar features now that I concentrated on both of them.
"The goddess has fulfilled my wishes but little Caleb is missing." Wyatt cuts in before Zaira can reply to Black and that I am grateful for because they would have probably started arguing again. "Do we still have enough time to catch up before the bad blood comes to the surface?" he asks no one in particular.
Isaac who has been standing silently and just glaring at Wyatt finally lets out a loud growl. "Enough. Why didn't you just stay hidden in the shadows?" Isaac barks out and stares at Wyatt in a deadly way, I sure as heck would not like to be Wyatt at this point.
Everything around us promises death, the way the trees are swaying silently as if they are having a silent conversation, the way the night is quiet and I could not even hear a cricket or any animal sounds, sends a chill down my spine, it is like the whole forest was on mute. Even though through all the tension and the promise of blood being splattered today I still manage to find humor in the way Zaira and Black joined the "reunion" it all just seemed straight from a cliché scene I have seen in movies but it would have been more cliché if they jumped in when the bad guy was about to plunge in the knife. Hell no, I would have been the one to jump in if that was about to even happen.
"I was tired of staying away from my family." Wyatt replies with a shrug.
No one is convinced with his reply, the lies are literally drenching all the words in his reply. Isaac moves closer to Wyatt and the glare on his face does not even falter. "I am going to love finishing you off once and for all." Isaac says darkly.
"Talk about family drama." Wyatt replies and makes his voice sound like a high pitched girl scream.
I cannot help but agree with Wyatt. These is some real family drama someone should have told me this would happen because I sure as heaven need a couch, blanket, a soda and popcorn not to forget that one friend who always comments about each scene in a movie and probably tha-
Before I can add another thing to my movie night list, Isaac and Wyatt are already throwing fists at each other and everyone took that as a jumpstart to get at each other's throats. I watch in horror as wolves jump on top of each other, Zaira was now on all fours and was battling a full shifted black male wolf. I am trying to wrap my head around what is happening when a brown wolf lunges at me and I have no choice but to go at him. He bares his teeth at me as he tries to get at my neck but I get under him and kicks his wolf's large legs, he stumbles back and I get on top of him ready to rip a chunk out of his neck. Adrenaline pumps in my veins as I get a clear view of his neck and dig my nails in his throat ripping it apart. Another wolf lunges at me immediately after I finish off my first kill.
Everything is happening in a fast forward as I kill off different wolves and my vision is red with the adrenaline pumping within me and my wolves urge to rip apart these rogues. My Luna side is coming out as I lunge at one of the wolves that were trying to corner Zaira's wolf, I scratch my elongated nails over the wolf's back and the wolf lets out a blood curling screech as my teeth connected with his sides and I rip out a chunk before finally ripping out his throat.
Our wolves are winning and I can see it as more than half of Wyatt's large wolves are on the floor with torn out limbs and blood pouring out of their gashes and onto the forest floor. Sorry Mother Nature.
A loud growl grabs my attention and I turn around but I am met with a knife to my throat. Wyatt treads down to my side and still keeps the knife to my throat. He lets out a loud growl and that grabs the attention of all the wolves around us. "It's time to end the party don't you think cousin." He says in a mocking voice and stares at Isaac who is still in his human form. I bare my teeth at him as he presses the knife harder to my fur.
"Let her go, Wyatt." Isaac says in a gruff and strained voice and tries to take a step forward but Wyatt stops him.
"I would stay there if I were you unless you want the knife to slit through her neck and mess up her brown fur." Wyatt threatens and presses the knife harder to show that he can actually slit my throat.
Every wolf is now watching in alarm and I can feel Isaac's worry through the bond. "You should have let me be alpha and died with your parents when my rogues attacked. I don't know how you grabbed yourself a mate but I am happy 'cause she comes in handy and all." Wyatt says through gritted teeth.
"If not you should have just kept on sleeping with those different sluts and let me be alpha!" he is now screaming in frustration.
The mention of the other girls that had the chance to have what is rightfully mine makes my blood boil and a pang of hurt hit my chest every time the thought crossed my mind. My mind made up different scenarios of those sluts, the blondes and brunettes, skinny, fat ass, round and perfect hourglass figure, hell my mind even conjures up a red head. Isaac looked at me with hurt and regret clear on his face, I had closed that chapter in our lives but I cannot help it but feel possessive and jealous when the thought of Isaac with another girl crossed my mind.
The jealousy and possessiveness was taking over my senses and I did not notice when my vision was now red and the wolves who had shifted gasp or when the wolves around me bare their necks in submission. Raw power is coursing through my veins and all I want to do is to hunt down all those girls and rip them to shreds. Purely pathetic and evil of me but I have a right to be possessive over what is mine. In less than a minute I push Wyatt off me, who looks confused and I see fear in his eyes before he covers it up with glare. I see movement in the corner of my eye but I do not pay attention to eat as my only mission right now is to end Wyatt and his pathetic life.
I knock Wyatt down with my paws and get on top of his curled up and scared figure. I look at him with a challenge in my eyes and a promise to give him a very painful death for, threatening my mate, killing his parents and all the shit he has done in his life and most of all for organizing such a shitty "family reunion".
I raise my paw and prepare to rip him limb by limb with my claws but someone beats me to it when a knife connects with his chest and plunges into his chest. He claws at his chest and his breath is hard as he removes the knife and smirks snidely at the knife and faces me. He opens his mouth to say something but I claw out his throat and watch as the life seeps out of him.
Death.
