“Yeah, the Sea Moon too!”
“Elena! Come here, you traitor!”
My uncle’s voice is like a knife piercing my head. I try to shut it off as he keeps calling me, yelling my name. My eyes tear up. It’s so frustrating! I can’t reply, I can’t do anything but follow Daniel through the chaos.
But the fight is catching up to us. I can feel my pack’s voices getting closer, people yelling to watch the east.
“The Sea Moon wolves are here!”
I see them, running from the waterfront towards us, ready to attack. Not only because of those wolves, but I realize we are going to get caught in the battle whether we want to or not. Daniel’s probably realized this too as he keeps looking in all directions with panicked eyes.
“Babe, we really gotta go.”
“Nora’s at the waterfront too.”
“Nora? Okay, better go this way then,” he says, pulling me to the east.
We try to head in that direction, where I can hear Nora’s wolf, but as we feared, it only takes a couple of minutes until a vampire suddenly runs our way. I jump in front of Danny and send that damn blood-sucker away with a high kick to its face.
“Elena!” screeches Daniel.
I know, I know. But I can’t just do nothing! What’s the point of not fighting if I get killed so stupidly anyway?
Danny stops protesting soon enough, because there is no other choice. Right after the first one, more vampires rush our way, obviously ready to attack. My wolf is ready to fight, but she also knows our baby comes first. I grab an iron pole to defendmyself, but even in my human form, I’m a good enough fighter to keep them at bay. Vampires are fast, but werewolves are vampire killers to begin with. And I’m a damn good warrior, too. Using my fists, feet, and pole, I send them to the ground or flying one after the other.
“Elena!”
This time, it’s my cousin Chris. I feel relieved to hear his voice among the others.
“You okay?”
“They just keep coming! Hundreds of them!”
“I know, they are already at the harbor! I’m in the middle of the Sea Moon pack, I think.”
I can’t even recognize anyone but Danny. I was so focused on defending myself, I didn’t realize so many wolves and vampires had gathered around us in a raging battle. I keep fighting and mind-linking my cousin, worried for everyone.
“Okay! We got two… no, three other packs helping us here, I think. But seriously, Elena, their numbers…”
“I know.”
It’s the biggest vampire attack I’ve ever seen. No matter how many I fight, it just doesn’t stop, they keep coming at us in hordes. Where the hell did they come from? Vampire clans are never this big in the first place!
Next to me, Daniel is at his wit’s end too. My best friend tried not to shape-shift for the longest time, but Danny is not a fighter like me, or an alpha. He’s getting tired and can barely keep up with his enemies.
“Danny, shape-shift before you get killed!” I insist.
“I’m not leaving you alone!” he yells, out of breath.
That idiot! I’m about to yell at him again, but a sudden new attack keeps the words stuck in my mouth. I don’t know if they understood that I’m the strongest in that area, but severalvampires suddenly aim at me, fangs ready to bite and daggers in the air.
“ELENA!”
But before I can get in position, a gigantic wolf suddenly flies over me, and takes out two of them in a flash.
“Boyan!”
The huge brown wolf keeps fighting close to Daniel, and I suddenly realize what a death machine his size is capable of. It’s like sending a tiger into a battle. Boyan’s may be the size of a bear, but he’s much more agile and faster than he looks. I’m starting to get why he’s Nora’s bodyguard.
