19- First man
Chassy
As the pursuit got underway, a tense atmosphere erupted in the middle of the woods. The moon’s elongated beams cast long shadows that danced to the beat of my heart. Sims, my devoted beta, and Allie, my unshakable gamma, who accompanied me at all times, their presence acting as a solace and an anchor.
As I felt the vampire’s presence, I decided to face them head-on, since it was urgent and that action needed to be taken right away. As we ran forward, each step bringing us closer to our goal, the woodland appeared to blend. My awareness of the rustling of the leaves and the sound of faraway winds sharpened, pointing me in the direction of the vampires. Sims and Allie’s unwavering presence strengthened my resolve, which also contributed to the adrenaline rush that was rushing through me.
Xander’s voice was a beacon in the night, cutting through the hammering of my heart when he told his gamma to protect me before they shifted to their wolf.
The electric rush of adrenaline was tangible with each step of the pursuit, and suspense increased as I moved forward. There was an implicit understanding among the pack that the vampires would not invade any of our territories undisturbed. This understanding hovered in the air. The vampires proved to be elusive, moving like quick shadows through the forest. My focus was fixed on the target in front of me as my resolve grew with each fleeting sight.
“You don’t need to watch over me because I can take care of myself,” I told Xander’s gamma, Jack, as he tried to keep up with me even if he had already shifted. “Move faster or I have to leave you behind,” I added and increased my pace, which he didn’t expect. Yes, as a human, I was very fast and on par with their speed when their wolf took over.
We finally came out into a little clearing and caged the vampires with a mixture of defiant and desperate looks on their faces. As I drew near, the group’s leader snarled, a pallid figure with eyes that twinkled like obsidian.
“Why run when you were after us?” I asked as the four who were with me surrounded them.
The vampire hissed, flashing gleaming teeth, “Little wolves can’t stop us.”
“Who said I was going to stop you?” I asked arrogantly. “I am going to kill you,” I said and jumped at them, followed by my beta and gamma. I had no idea what Xander and his gamma were doing, but a little later, I found them fighting the vampires as well and managed to kill one of them.
Sims attacked, their sharp jaws snapping and claws ripping through the flesh of the vampire. Allie’s movements were fluid like water, and her precise punches left the vampire confused and exposed. With my heart beating, I faced the leader, letting instinct and planning guide my every move.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
It was a fury of motion and sound as the conflict raged. Forces clashed, leaving blows as a monument to my inner strength. I faced the physical manifestation of the menace that had led us here-a look of pain and resolve imprinted on our features.
The leader sprang at me, his eyes focused and his teeth glistening. My reaction was instinct-driven, as my motions were a symphony of power and agility. I pounced on the opportunity as the leader’s attack missed. I shifted my hand into my claws, grabbing hold of his chest. The commander let forth an anguished scream before collapsing, his final snarl echoing defiance, before I took his head from his shoulders.
Vampires who had lost the battle were scattered around the battlefield as evidence of the terrible conflict that had occurred. I exchanged heavy breaths with my beta and gamma and acknowledged the triumph of teamwork. Exhaustion and triumph were plastered across Sims and Allie’s faces as they joined me.
Allie cried, his voice a mixture of wonder and relief, even in her mind link, ‘We did it.’
Sims nodded, beaming with pride. We demonstrated the power of the pack to them.
“You are not supposed to fight. What if something happens to you?”Xander asked angrily.
“I don’t need anyone to protect me; keep that in mind, Alpha Xander.” I said, “And can you wear something? How could you talk to me naked?” I asked and averted my eyes the other way. Before, I looked at Sims and Allie, who were still in their wolf form.
“We are not done yet; we will talk when we get back to my pack,” Xander said before he shifted back to his wolf. I looked at him and noticed that his wolf seemed happy, so I couldn’t help but smile.
“Let’s go back to the diner so you can get dressed,” I told both my beta and gamma before we started running back to Dad’s.
“Are you hurt somewhere?” Dad asked as soon as he saw me. Sims and Allie are getting dressed behind a tree not too far from us. Apparently, he was watching us and got worried when we started to run away.
“I’m fine, Dad,” I replied exactly when Xander was dressed and approached us.
“Dad?” he asked.
“Alpha,” my dad greeted him, but before he could ask again,
“Yeah, he’s my father.” I answered before I looked at Dad and said, “You can go inside now and look after your business.” I told him, but I could see that he was hesitant. “I am not going to do anything that will worry you or Daddy Jay,” I assured him, so he walked inside his diner.
“I didn’t know that you found your dad,” he said.
“You know nothing about me,” I replied before I started walking to my motorcycle.
“That’s where you are wrong,” he replied, which made me look at him. “I know that I am the first man in your life,” he whispered, and I was about to rebut, but he had already turned his back on me and gone to his SUV.
“Alpha,” Sims, and Allie caught my attention. I hated the fact that he had the last say, so I was furious.
“Let’s go and get over this meeting already,” I replied and kick-started my motorcycle after I rode on it. They both did the same, and we went off the road after.
Reminding me about our first time made me remember what I did before I left his pack. I shook my head and sped up because I suddenly felt ashamed of myself when I remembered how much I yearned for him that night and asked him to fu** me. Come to think of it, it was embarrassing!
