Blood ran upon the grass, and mixed within it was fur. But that wasn't the most shocking thing. The most shocking thing was the dead wolves that littered the area shredded into pieces. Kara had taken her blade to them. She had ruthlessly executed anyone who tried to get near the home.
Those who were weak had gone first; from the connection, I could tell we hadn't lost many. I was glad to have Kara. I knew, without a doubt, that she would keep my mother, Priscilla, and the children safe. She would ensure they would never be harmed while I ventured out into the war to protect what belonged to me.
Stepping over the mess, I made my way towards the top of the hill to see the war beneath me, and the sight I got wasn't one I expected. Our wolves were fighting for everything they had, but off in the distance was Alokaye, and most importantly, there was Allison at his side.
The devil stood on the rock overlooking chaos, and every now and again, she would reach down to stroke Damian's hair. Seeing her make such an intimate gesture towards my mate disgusted me.

She still thought she had a chance to cout on top.
With every step that I took, I found myself moving closer and closer to him, as if a shield was around my body, protecting me. The wolves diverted their attention to other means of the area, tearing apart each other as fur, blood, and howls of pain echoed and scattered around me. Like leaves blowing through the wind.
Alokaye had no idea what he had done coming here. He had no idea who he was honestly facing, but after everything they had done, I was happy to show him. I was happy to give a demonstration.
I would simply need a volunteer... like Allison.
They may have had numbers, but the wolves of my pack had my energy, my essence running through their veins and, with it, a power that could not be matched.
Talon and Hale's voices sounded off in the distance, but I did not pay them mind as I looked straight ahead, walking closer and closer to what it is I wanted. I knew what they would do if they got to me. They would try to protect me. Try to save me... but that wasn't what I needed.
I needed to end this war, and doing so meant dealing with two people in front ofwho had no reason to live after everything they had done to my family.
"Enough!" I bellowed, like a tidal wave of sound echoing far across the battlefield. Wolves nearwhimpered, bowing their heads, looking at each other with confusion as I stared up at Alokaye. "You will leave my hnow." "You came," Alokaye said as he stared atwith a Cheshire smile that spoke of nothing evil running through his veins. He was excited to see me. This is exactly what they wanted. Forto be brought out into the open so they could try to kill me.
A sinister fit of laughter inside my mind echoed through the blackened abyss as I stared at Alokaye, shaking my head. "What is it you want?" His brows lifted as he rubbed his hand over his chin with a smile. "You're so impatient. Do you not enjoy the gift that I brought for you? A little favor to show you how pleased I am with everything that you've been doing." He had to be joking if he thought I would buy that. I didn't think for a second he wouldn't hesitate to killand then kill everybody else just to see stype of satisfaction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI wouldn't be a fool, though. I wouldn't allow him to use me.
I wouldn't allow him to provokein the way he wanted. My eyes cast towards Damian, who refused to look at me. He was but a broken version of his former self, and while the beast insidewanted to run to him. Wanted to kill them all couldn't.
Not yet, at least.
"It isn't that I'm impatient, but I have better things to do with my time." My reply made Allison scowl, but once again, Alokaye showed nothing but a smile.
"Tis an interesting thing, isn't it?" he chuckled. "I remember having all the tI needed once upon a time, but then things changed. You... caused a lot of change." I had no idea what he was talking about, but Allison looked up at the sky and grabbed Alokaye's arm before I could. "It's happening."
I wasn't sure what was happening, but panic started to set in as Alokaye shifted, pulling a blade from beneath his attire, and walked towards Damian. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. His movements, my movements. I couldn't process the scene before me, but when Damian's eyes met
mine, it all suddenly rushed in. "I love you, Ivy,"he mouthed as Alokayem brought the blade across Damian's the throat, a rush of blood spraying out as something insidecompletely broke.
I wasn't sure what was louder at that moment. The screams ripped from my throat watching him, or the roars of three terrifying monsters ripped from their wolf forms at the brother that was just taken from them.
