Cold Hearted Mate
Chapter 75

At the back of the Lake house...

"Stop crying already!" Darla tried to comfort Elaine who could not stop feeling guilty about her true feelings.

Elaine wiped her tears away. There were full logs at the back of Lake house; both Elaine and Darla did not expect that Louve would appear out of nowhere.

The back door of the Lake house opened.

"Girls, what's happening here? I was looking for the both of you. Why did you disappear after my speech and Elaine, why are you crying?" Louve asked, because Elaine's eyes were wet.

Darla does not want to disclose anything since it is not her personal story to tell.

"I found my mate." Elaine informed Louve.

"So, who is the lucky guy? Where is he?" Louve was more curious.

"It's Ben..." Elaine revealed to Louve as her tears started to fall again.

"Do not tell me he rejected you and that is the reason you are crying right now!" A sudden change in Louve's mood.

Before she could even try and leave so she could replace Ben, Elaine grabbed Louve's arm.

"No one was rejected. I was just upset because I felt guilty that I was feeling something special for Blake. The thought of hoping that my mate would be Blake, made me guilty. Only good things I could think about Ben but I do not think he deserves someone as filthy as me." Elaine felt undeserving of being Ben's mate.

Self-doubt and depression becomes a case for most she-wolves when they have not preserved their chastity or sense of purity for their mate.

Alpha Connor was also looking for Louve and when he found her scent. He was about to approach Louve but she threw a dagger-looking stares at him.

Pointing out that she is currently busy. He left his mate at the company of her own friends.

Then Louve informed Elaine about her last sighting of Ben after her announcement and personal speech in front of everybody..

"Well, we saw Ben left the Lake house looking disheartened. If you left him looking like that... maybe he assumed that you rejected him and you do not like the idea of being mated with him." Louve pointed out something which Elaine failed to realize. A sudden look of disbelief was painted on Elaine's face.

"Oh, no! He may have misunderstood everything. Where is he?"

"Last time I heard from Alpha Connor, he volunteered to join the patrol unit for the second shift tonight. Near the borders." Louve's reply to her worried friend.

"Why don't we just wait for him inside? While Louve request to her Alpha to bring back Ben in the Lake house." Darla suggested to Louve on what they should do to make their friend feel better. Immediately Louve caught up with Darla's gesture and suggestion.

"Oh, yeah right! Why don't you wait inside? While Alpha Connor will instruct Ben to return so that both of you can have your moment to clear things up. But I suggest you do not mention your unsure and confused feelings with Blake. If you truly care for him then try avoiding the things that might hurt him the most." Louve gave her advice in regards to Elaine's dilemma.

The trio went back inside the Lake house in the hopes for a better night.

Unknown to them, a certain threat has finally arrived by the borders of the Dark Moon Park.

By the borders of the territory of the Dark Moon Pack, Magnus has finally arrived with his other rogue warriors. Each rogue werewolf had something attached to their back.

"All of you, go to the submitted rogue's residential area. I will be the decoy. Let me wreak some havoc in this wretched wolf pack. If this is the wolf pack of the son of King Remus, then I will give this wolf pack a living hell for them to remember." Magnus instructed the others through his mind-link abilities.

At his orders, Brandon led the other rogue werewolves in their wolf form and went straight ahead to the submitted rogue's residential area.

As soon as his fellow rogue werewolves spirited away, Magnus started to shift back into his human form and took out a pair of clothing which was inside the supposed saddle bag but utilized as a backpack for their own usage for this mission.

When Magnus finished wearing his clothing, a squad of patrol units spotted him. There was a loud growl coming from each werewolf.

"Hmmm... Let me guess, you guys are the patrol squad right?" Magnus smiled before releasing his powerful explosive abilities.

A loud explosion was released from Magnus' hand.

In a matter of few seconds, the entire patrol squad was wiped out by Magnus through his powerful abilities.

He heaved a heavy sigh which signified for too much arrogance and disappointment for an easy match.

Though, someone appeared which Magnus never expected to encounter.

"Leave peacefully and you will be spared."

"Wow! I never thought that I would meet a warlock within the territory of a renowned wolf pack. Unfortunately, I do not respond well with threats. I reciprocate with... explosion!" Magnus declared. Another loud explosion could be heard from afar.

It alarmed everyone including the Alpha King of the Dark Moon Pack.

The sound of emergency all throughout the territory of Dark Moon Pack was activated.

Once it was heard, everyone knew it only meant for... A wide-mass intrusion!

"Alpha! There are intruders!" Andrew confirmed to Alpha Connor what he initially thought it was.

Meanwhile, after being briefed by Marissa regarding the situation, Louve started to think of an immediate action based on the current situation and dilemma that the Dark Moon Pack is currently facing at the moment.

"Instead of rushing to the battlefield and look for Ben, have faith that he will survive. Right now, we must make an assumption that there will be massive number of casualty and injured based upon your report that we are dealing with an individual who has the ability to create powerful explosive blasts." Louve shared her thoughts.

She further elaborated to others her plan.

"Since, we are still capable and have the skills to help. We need to set-up the hospital with concrete defense and set up tents outside for extra rooms and space for the patients."

"But Louve, we do not have enough manpower to properly set-up your plans." Marissa expressed her doubt.

"Just have faith in me. Instead of racking our head whether to stay or leave, we better do something that will help everyone. For sure, the medical staff will be overwhelmed with the number of patients that will be sent on their way after this attack.

So we better prepare the tents for the extended waiting area and create a small medical unit for initial first-aids for the waiting area that we will make.

Darla, we will need your new spells for the defense and barrier around the hospital so that no outsiders could enter.

Marissa, kindly request for the remaining female trainees that were left behind from the patrol missions. And gather them to the hospital.

Elaine, you will lead a unit for medical first aids while Marissa will be supervising each medical unit that will perform first aids on the waiting area that we will create.

Only the critical and life threatening conditions must be prioritized first to be sent inside the emergency room. We only have limited doctors and medical staff so we better help them as much as we can.

If we want to save everyone!" Louve gave her long speech and looked at Marissa with an authoritative look in her eyes.

"Yes, Luna! Your command will be followed." Marissa showed great respect to Louve.

A radiating aura of a "True Luna" was coming off from Louve.

Even Elaine and Darla could not refuse such a plan from Louve. It will maximize the number of lives that they could save. Rather than being kept and doing nothing or rushing towards the battle field with uncertainty of their contribution. "Let's head out!" Louve instructed the other ladies.

The other ladies followed Louve with a serious look on their face.

ལ

On the other hand...

The group of warriors are sprinting their way towards the location of Magnus.

Alpha Connor and the other warriors started to hurry their way as the explosion kept going and louder as it got.

This worried Alpha Connor that there could be more casualties that may be expected from this.

"Everyone be vigilant, work as groups and we will surround him before attacking! Everyone must wait for my signal before any of you initiate an attack. Is it understood?" Alpha Connor firmly asked his warriors through the mind-link. And everyone replied to him affirmatively with high spirits.

But everything will change once they arrive at the sight of terror created by Magnus.

Full of injured warriors all over the field... Burning trees and smoke covered the scene which makes it hard to discern how many really are injured and affected by this attack.

Then a full figure silhouette of someone terrifying and smirked with such contempt in his look.

"Now, who is next?"

Uttered by Magnus with blood on his hand.
