Page 155 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"Red…" Dad murmured, sparing a second to pull her close, but it was fleeting as they fought off some Wendigos. At Mom’ words, Endora seemed to falter, and for a fleeting second, I saw the worry in her eyes.

"Let’s do this." I said quietly.

Turning to the barrier, I closed my eyes and channelled the moon's energy… This was it. Selene, lend me your strength... Don’t let any more of your wolves suffer…

ALEJANDRO

I felt it, the moment Kiara began to harness the moon's aura. The blast of purple power reaching for the sky and her hair swaying around her, defying gravity. Then there was the billowing darkness that raged from Endora. It was like evil and serenity side by side. Darkness and light.

I glanced at the time. Two minutes... If we didn’t attack at the right time, our chance would be gone... I wasn’t sure we’d be able to defeat her if she managed to resurrect the dead as she was planning on.

We had lost so many… The losses I felt through the link were hitting me slower, which meant we may be slowly gaining the upper hand, but if Endora was able to go through with her plan, we were screwed.

I took a deep breath, unleashing all my aura. I was going to take the frontal hit. Even if Kiara was the one with the power, I was not going to let her get hurt.

‘It’s time.’ Her soft voice came in my head.

My blazing red eyes snapped towards Endora, who was whispering and chanting. To the naked eye, it didn’t look like she was any weaker, but it was a chance we had to take. The Alphas formed around us, protecting us from all the Wendigos who seemed to be drawn to us the moment Kiara had unleashed her powers. They cut them down, leaving me and Kiara to deal with Endora.

‘Let’s get this bitch sent to the pits of hell.’ I growled.

Yes, she may be my mother… but it was only by blood. The Endora we had come to know was nothing like the sweet mother who always seemed to care for us when we were children. I didn’t have any remorse that I wanted to rip her to shreds.

‘On three.’ I said coldly.

Kiara nodded, as I stepped up next to her as I began counting. Giving the rest the signal to block all attacks, I took her hand and kissed it softly. Our gazes met before I turned away, my eyes fixed on the raging storm that separated us from Endora.

"Take care of her." Scarlett said, looking at me with bloodshot eyes.

I didn’t reply, I couldn’t answer anyway, I was in Lycan form. That was not something she needed to ask of me, I’d die protecting her if I had to.

We focused on none of the monsters that were now desperately trying to reach Kiara. As the rest struggled to keep them at bay. Fuelled by heartbreak, pain, determination and willpower, they didn’t stop fighting, nor did they allow the ranks to break. A few other Alphas joined them and I realised we truly had become united.

I took Kiara’s hand in my own, as we both took a few steps back, before we ran as one towards the hurricane. Kiara let out a scream of concentration as we hit the wall, her purple flames pushing against the darkness, but this time we didn’t stop. Even as the wind whipped and cut my skin, I simply shielded Kiara the best I could, watching her powers penetrate the barrier. I gave it my all as we pushed against it, and finally, we fell through, hitting the ground.

My entire body was slashed up and I had been forced to shift back. Although I was healing, it was slower than normal. Kiara only had a few cuts; her power and my body had shielded her enough. I felt relieved at that, despite hating the fact that I had to let her do this to begin with.

I had hoped Endora would be too busy doing whatever she was doing to notice us. That was until her eyes snapped up towards us. I had never seen a more ugly and sinister expression on her face than she had right now. If looks could fucking kill…

"Don’t push me…" She rasped. "I’ve spent too many years preparing for this moment."

Evil. Pure evil spewed from her, and I felt it swirl around us. Clawing at me and trying to sink its talons into me.

"Too late…" I whispered.

It was less than thirty seconds from that moment… In a flash, I ran at her, growling murderously as I pushed against the barrier she raised. Her eyes widening, she whispered a spell. Kiara was next to me in a moment, her purple force field smashing against Endora’s.

"I’m your mother, Alejandro! We can be gods!" She shrieked, struggling to keep me away from her.

I saw her fleeting glance towards the moon and the ground, her heart thundering. I smirked coldly. So, this moment truly was important to her.

"I will succeed…" She murmured, as she carried on whispering, keeping me at bay.

Not under my fucking watch. I used all my force, letting my aura swirl around me as I used it all to break the barrier and knocked her to the ground. Even then, I was still pushing against the barrier that surrounded her, my hand's inches from her heart.

"Don’t!" She screamed as Kiara looked to the moon, raising her hands before she turned her attention to the ground. Channelling all her ability into it, I watched her purple aura sink into the land, determination clear on her beautiful face.
