Page 153 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"Good boy…" Amelia whispered, before she slumped backwards. Marcel caught her and I sat up as he lay her down.

"What’s happened?" I asked, hurrying over to her.

My stomach twisted when I realised there was now one less heartbeat in this room…

"She’s gone, a life for a life… The pup was meant to die, but she sacrificed herself for it to live… to even the balance." His deep voice resonated in my head as I realised I had just lost one more person on this night. I closed my eyes, placing a hand on my stomach.

For Indy and Grandma Amy… I would always protect this child.

Marcel left me alone, giving me a moment to grieve the loss of my loved ones. But I was an Alpha and I needed to return to the battlefield. I stood up, fixing the shirt that Aaron had given me earlier. It was time for these witches to go to hell, exactly where they belonged.

120. United

KIARA

She was strong, but I was not going to back down. Getting close to her had never been harder. She chuckled sardonically as Alejandro failed once again. Even though he was now using two foot-long daggers to help him, there was nothing that worked against her barriers.

‘Alpha! Luna! Darien called!’ Someone shouted through the link.

‘What is it?!" Alejandro growled as I blasted another of her attacks away from us.

‘Jasmin’s started to act weird in the cells. She seemed to have a seizure or something. What do we do? Leave her or go to her?’

‘Don’t go anywhere near her, there must be some reason behind it. We’re approaching the given time! Tell Darien that if she begins to go fucking psycho, kill her instantly. Keep me updated.’ Alejandro grunted as he shoved through the wall. This time he seemed a little more successful, but it was futile. Before his blades even got close to her, he was blasted back.

He was in his Lycan form, and despite his immense power, his mother was holding her own against us all perfectly. Liam backed up, calculatingly looking around. I knew he had been observing Endora looking for any blind spot, but it was clear he hadn’t found anything.

A strong blast of black shards rushed towards us and I just about managed to raise a barrier, despite the fact that Alejandro had jumped to shield me.

‘I’m fine.’ I said softly.

‘I’m not taking any risks.’ His reply came.

He kissed my forehead, and for a split second, I melted into his touch. But we didn’t have time to linger, re-joining the battle once again.

I had just sliced a Wendigo's head off when the same wolf's voice came into my head.

‘Alpha, Darien’s killed her.’

‘Is it just coincidental that she started acting strangely near the given time?’ I asked.

‘Yeah, probably, but we can’t take any fucking risks.’ Alejandro replied.

I didn’t reply. Something just felt off about it. Jasmin had done nothing apart from pleading. She had no idea why she was sent there, but for her to simply begin to act weirdly now felt off. Was there more behind it?

‘Ask Darien how she was acting strange. All the details!’ I called, just as I blasted Endora away.

‘Ok, Luna!’

"I have no time to dally…" Endora hissed as she began chanting louder. A huge hurricane began whipping around her as she began to move forward.

"Stop her!" Someone shouted, but I didn’t pay attention to who it was.

I ran towards her, but the sheer force of the cyclone that created a barrier around her was too much. She was heading towards the spot we had pinpointed, and it was clear she was paying attention to the time. Seems Delsanra had told nothing but the truth.

I nodded at Liam, who made quick work of sending a signal. The next thing we saw was the burst of flames as the entire area was lit ablaze. Endora stopped.

"What is this?!" She spat; but even through her anger, I could sense her panic.
