Page 81 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"You won’t get away with this. He’s meant to be your son!" I shouted, rushing towards her only for another blast of magic to block me. I raised my staff, lunging straight through the darkness. I saw her eyes widen in shock as I leapt in the air, bringing my staff down. She blocked it with a shimmering red force-field, but the anger and rage I felt were so much stronger.

"No wolf can ever defeat me!" She spat, smirking with confidence.

"Unless she’s blessed by the goddess herself!" I snapped back coldly. My blazing purple eyes glared into hers.

The anger I felt within me terrified even myself. All I wanted to do was to kill the woman before me, for everything she put Alejandro through. Yes, I had hurt him… But this much? Channelling every ounce of anger and rage into pushing against the force-field, I let it rush through me, satisfied when it cracked the shield and my staff slid right through straight into Endora’s shoulder.

She gasped in pain as she was slammed to the ground.

"Bitch!" She spat, before she began chanting something and I felt a darkness envelope the entire cavern. Despite my aura blazing around me, I couldn’t see anything. It felt like thick black smoke was wrapped around me.

"We will meet again. You will be mine, daughter of Selene!" She hissed before I heard her run.

I didn’t have time to chase after her, I could hear both Alejandro’s and Marcel’s heartbeats fading.

I rushed towards Alejandro’s scent, falling to my knees. My heart was hammering in fear as I felt for him, the darkness slowly began to fade. My blazing aura vanished, leaving me in the darkness of the cavern.

"No… no…! Focus Kia…" I whispered shakily, as I tried to heal him. My hands were trembling as I willed all my power forth.

"We will meet again." Endora’s voice echoed eerily around the cavern but I ignored it.

My mind was completely focused on my love.

"Please baby…" I whispered, my heart pounding.

I felt his heartbeat grow stronger and I let out a breath of relief. Feeling the pain leave his body. I reactivated my power, allowing the purple light to illuminate the area as I looked at Alejandro’s body before me. His wounds were healing and I felt relieved. I caressed his face for a second, but as much as I wanted to stay by his side, I could feel Marcel's life draining away. I kissed his lips tenderly, letting my healing rush through me. I pulled away and never had anything felt so hard…

Alejandro had lost enough family, I couldn't let him lose anymore, not on my watch. I got up and rushed over to Marcel, who was back in human form. I placed my hand on his chest, wanting to heal him. My vision darkened just as I heard the hisses and growls of the beasts.

My heart thumped as I heard them getting closer and closer towards us. Their unearthly sounds echoing off the walls and down the tunnels.

Goddess… She had released them. I needed to hurry. Marcel grunted and I saw his eyes glow gold. My job was done… I stood up swaying.

Alejandro… I turned, following my nose back towards him. Please wake up… His breathing was steady and I followed the sound. The shrieks were coming closer.

Why was I so weak? Had I overused my abilities? I didn’t know my limits yet, but fighting Endora had taken a chunk out of me.

I could hear the shrieks and growls of the approaching monsters. I turned towards the sound, I needed to protect him.

My eyes flashed as I called my power fourth. My aura blazed around me but before I could do anything, a strong pair of arms wrapped around me from behind, sending off sizzling sparks. I closed my eyes in relief.

"You’re ok." I whispered.

"Thanks to you… Now let me handle it from here." He murmured huskily, placing a lingering kiss on my neck.

I couldn't argue when my body felt like lead, I let my aura dissipate.

"They are innocent wolves." Marcel's voice came, as Alejandro moved me behind him.

"Created by her magic, that you were too fucking blinded to see." Alejandro growled.

"Do you blame me? When even you couldn't fight her?!" Marcel growled back.

It seemed Rafael truly was the calmest of the brothers.

"She can’t help them right now because she healed us… We will have to kill them." Alejandro said quietly.

I could sense the anguish from him.
