Page 151 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

DAMON

Indigo was dead. I didn’t know what to think. I felt useless. Despite doing my best to hold the ranks, once the witch was gone I thought it would get better, but it didn’t. Another one came and took her place. Her grey hair was waving around her crazily, as she lashed out at us with never-ending spears of ice.

Our team were doing their best. Dad, Alpha Jackson and I were up against the witch. I hated how they were long-distance attackers and we needed to get up close.

‘Ok, a plan. Aaron, I want you to play the decoy, I will go for the frontal attack. Damon, I need you to do the finishing job. You’re the fastest of the three of us.' Alpha Jackson said. Despite the loss of his daughter, he was still in control, like a true Alpha.

‘Got it.’ Dad and I said in unison.

I worked fast, pretending to attack. Picking up one of Marcel’s swords, I ran at her, ducking her shards before I let one hit my arm, tumbling to the side on purpose.

"Useless mutt." She spat in her raspy voice.

No, we weren’t useless... But what really hit me was that if witches wanted, they sure could cause us a lot of damage. This was why the saying; ‘Kill a witch on sight, ask questions later’ even existed.

Alpha Jackson ran at her, his large wolf letting out a piercing roar before he swiped at her, which she blocked with a wall of ice. He went flying to the ground as Dad jumped in next. He was younger and faster than Alpha Jackson. I got myself ready, letting both of them attack the witch, waiting for my chance.

It was a mess of blood, shooting daggers of ice, wolves and the witch. Around us, the remaining wolves were fighting the Wendigos. Some tried to help us, only to be killed by the witch instantly.

I needed to rip her heart out of her chest. I silently made my way forward just as she cackled, clapping her hands together. All I saw was Alpha Jackson's wolf impaled from all sides. The last thing I saw was his wolf’s eyes widening before the witch opened her hands, tearing his body to pieces.

My heart was racing as I tried my best not to react crazily. I saw Dad’s eyes blazing as he lunged at her, ducking and diving. I made my move. I didn’t trust her not to do the same to Dad, so I lunged at her. My hand went through her chest. Just as she whispered something, the runes that I had never noticed on her body began to glow.

We won!

Or so I thought... Just as I ripped her heart from her chest, a smirk of victory on my face as I looked at Dad, my smile vanished. Dad crumbled to the ground before me. His heartbeat was steadily fading.

"How sad…" The witch whispered, before her body crumbled forward.

I squeezed her heart in my grasp, destroying it completely as I rushed to Dad.

"Dad!" I shouted as I heard his heartbeat vanish completely. Hell no, please no…

‘Damon! Your father!’ Mom’s voice screamed in my head.

Fuck please no…

"Dad! Come on, man!" I shouted.

How had he… I looked down, noticing the blood that was pouring out of his body. My eyes flashed as I looked at the Wendigo who was staring at me intensely.

"Bastard…" I lunged at it, slamming it to the ground as I ripped its head clean off of its body. My heart was thudding as I looked at the scattered bodies of my pack mates.

‘Damon… who have we lost?’ Uncle El’s voice came in my head.

He sounded exhausted. My heart clenched as I wondered if he knew about Indigo. I looked at the moon, wishing the Goddess would help us.

‘Dad… Alpha Jackson… and Indigo.’ I replied quietly.

Silence.

He had lost his best friend, father and sister all in one night. I looked down. I don’t think Selene really cares… I felt dead as I turned to the Wendigos before me. My hatred only grew as I leapt towards the closest one…

ELIJAH

She was stronger than I could have ever anticipated. Rafael, Liam, Alejandro and Kiara. Combined, we were still losing. She was channelling the power within the earth, magic that had lain dormant for years.
