Chapter 40 DaisyAlpha Navier and I both transform into our wolf forms, his dark coat contrasting with my snowy whiteone as we run side- by-side through the forest. He is larger than me, but every time glance his way, Ican’t help but feel as if he isn’t a hundred percent focused.He seems exhausted. Sera points out. I wonder why? Maybe your sister is wearing him out?” Isabella is annoying, but I don’t think she is the culprit this time Alpha Xavier notices me staring and speaks with me through the mind-link. ‘What?!” he demands,causing me to awkwardly turn my head and focus on the road ahead. N-nothing, Alpha We run until we reach the pack house, a cozy cottage surrounded by trees. It looks peaceful enough,but I can smell the faint metallic scent of blood in the air. Old blood, dried and stale, but alarmingnonetheless. My fur bristles, and I see Xavier stiffen beside me. Can you smell that?” I ask through the mind-link, my voice a low growl. His response is curt. Yes, but it doesn’t belong to Lola. She hasn’t left the cottage and she is safeinside of it. Then whose blood is it?” It belongs to the pack members that have already died in the fight. We have to help them.” “How?” “Just follow me! Alpha Xavier rushes forward towards the trees behind the cottage, and I quickly catch up with him. Ourbodies are a blur of black and white as we tear through the forest, following the scent of blood. But what we replace isn’t what I expected. A clearing is revealed, and there are dead bodies everywhere. The scent of death and violence isoverwhelming, causing my wolf to whimper in horror within me. ‘Hold it together, Sera, I command internally.

She whimpers again. But so many pack members have died already…” I don’t have time to answer her before the hiss of a vampire cuts through the air. Alpha Xavier growls awarning to me, but it’s too late; a vampire lunges out from the cover of the trees, fangs bared and eyesglowing with malicious intent. But I’m ready. I spring forward with startling speed, meeting the vampire mid-air. The shock of the collision sends usboth sprawling to the ground. Damn, you almost had him!’ Sera says. “Almost kills no fly, I growl. I have to try harder!’ With a fierce growl, I shake off the daze and rush forward. The vampire doesn’t see it coming. I sink myteeth into its throat

The vampire goes limp under me, its body convulsing a few times before stillness takes over. ‘Well done, Daisy,’ Alpha Xavier’s voice comes through the mind-link. He sounds both impressed andrelieved. ‘But we’re not done yet. (+5) He’s right. Even as I stand over my kill, I sense more approaching vampires their hideous stenchmingles with the smell of blood and sweat already hanging in the air. ‘Never thought I would fight side by side with the man who rejected me, I muse through our mind-link.His responding chuckle radiates warmth, oddly comforting amidst the chaos and death surrounding us. “There’s a first time for everything,’ he replies, his tone light despite the graveness of the situation. ‘Butthis is when the battle really starts. Are you ready?’ ‘I was born ready.

‘Good.’ Alpha Xavier lifts his neck and howls to summon down a rain of fire from the sky. I’m a speechlesswitness to his magic, baffled by his display of power. “That’s the fire Alpha for you,’ Sera cheers. ‘And if you replace Alpha Xavier’s magic impressive, just waituntil you realize what we can do as the light wolf!’ A thrill of anticipation ripples through me. As the pack’s Omega I’ve always wanted to be special, andhere’s my chance. ‘Are you telling me we have fancy magic too?’ I ask as my eyes dart from one enemy to the other. ‘Only if you believe in yourself’ I growl in response, ‘No need to get philosophical, Sera. But even as I keep my tone light, I concentrateon the power that has dwelled in me since I first spoke to Sera. Tonight, it feels brighter and morepotent than ever.‘Daisy,’ Alpha Xavier’s voice cuts through my thoughts, “They’re here. A cold dread settles over me as I look up to see a mob of vampires emerging from the forest. Theireyes glow with bloodlust, and their fangs glisten in the pale moonlight. They’re many, too many for justthe two of us. Alpha Xavier stands by my side, his powerful body tense and ready for battle. His eyes meet mine for amoment, steadying me. ‘Together,’ he says simply. “Together,’ I echo and charge into battle. The fight is brutal. Teeth clash against skin while claws meet flesh in an ugly dance of survival. I knowI’ve sustained injuries a sharp sting on my flank warns me of a bite, but I push through the pain, using it to fuel my rage. But for every vampire we kill, two more seem to take its place. It’s all alarmingly overwhelming toomany enemies and too. few of us. In the midst of the roaring chaos, Sera speaks up. ‘Daisy, remember what I said…’ ‘I’ve been trying to use my powers!’ “Try harder!’ Sera demands. ‘Alpha Xavier is struggling!’

Blood drips from his side, and he grunts with effort as he fights to hold them off. Seeing himin danger fills me with a surge of determination. ‘Alright, Sera,’ I shout through our mind link. ‘Let’s do this!’ I try to concentrate and reach for the power hidden deep within me. But nothing happens. Frustration boils within me. I snarl ferociously, bearing down on a few vampires who dare to get tooclose, but my mind is focused on drawing out the power Sera talks about. “Believe, Daisy!” Sera’s voice is a soft echo in my mind compared to the din of battle, but it’s clear andstrong. “Remember who you are! The werewolf queen!” Her words strike something within me, and with a gasp, I feel it a surge of energy radiating fromsomewhere deep within me. It fills me entirely, so much so that the pain from my wounds diminishessignificantly. “Yes!” Sera exclaims almost joyously. “That’s it!” I don’t have time to dwell upon it, though, because Alpha Xavier cries out in pain. He’s brought down bymultiple vampires, their fists pounding relentlessly on him. “No!” I scream as despair lances through me. Enraged by the sight of Alpha Xavier being beaten, I leap into action. My newfound energy pulsatesthrough my veins until my angelic wings spread, and a blinding bright light spreads from my chest. The light is so intense, so blindingly pure, that even I have to squint. Sera is cheering raucously in mymind, but I can barely hear her over the unwavering roar of power flowing through me The vampirescaught in the blast screech in agony, their bodies disintegrating into ashes under the force of the light.

Alpha Xavier, however, remains unscathed. It’s like my power can tell the difference between friend andfoe. He stares up at me, eyes wide with awe as he watches the last of the vampires crumble to dust. But there’s no time for reveling in victory. The moment the light fades, I’m by Xavier’s side. He’s in hishuman form and in bad shape, his body marred by deep wounds and his breath coming out in raggedgasps. I change into a human. “Xavier…” I start, but he interrupts me, sounding weak but still carrying theauthority of an Alpha.“I’m fine.” He struggles to sit up, his body shaking from the effort. “I’ve had worse.” “But you need help.” Panic colors my voice as I try to figure out where to start healing him. But Alpha Xavier pushes me away…or at least tries to. There is no strength left in him, only the will tolive. “Don’t waste your energy on me,” he growls, his eyes a testament to the pain he’s enduring. “Save it forthe next wave.” I all but gape at him. “Next wave?” His grimace is answer enough, and as if on cue, I hear them before I see them – the ominous rustlingof leaves, then the heavy footfalls and finally the chilling stench that precedes their emergence. More vampires. My heart lurches at the sight of them – a sea of monstrous creatures worse than the ones we’d justdefeated. Their eyes red in the night, belying a level of malice I hadn’t thought possible. shine ‘I’m sorry, but…I don’t think we can defeat them. We are new to using magic and not strong enough touse more of it, Sera 3/4 III O r GM YI

Chapter 40 whispers nervously in my mind. There are too many of them. Daisy But I’m not ready to surrender–not yet, not when so much is at stake. I stand up but pause when AlphaXavier grips my hand and gives me a stem look. Do you trust me?” A silent gasp leaves my lips This is the man who has rejected me more than once-the manicho chose my sister despite me beinghis fated mate. I have many things to say about him and his stupid decision Part of nie hates him, butanother part of me, the hopeless romantic in me, trusts him. “Yes,” 1 affirm, even as a fresh wave of vampires comes stampeding towards us, their monstrousgrowls echoing in the night. Alpha Xavier nods before closing his eyes and drawing in a deep breath as if steeling himself. “Thenoffer me your blood” Wait, what?
