Page 143 of His Sunshine Baby

“Blondie?”

This time, it’s Tonia, his sister, looking at me in surprise. She doesn’t stop, though, and keeps running towards the harbor, probably headed to Nora’s location. But to my surprise, when her younger brother is about to follow, Daniel suddenly grabs his fur and holds him back, whispering something in his ear.

What the…?

I want to ask why the hell he’s exchanging secrets with him in the middle of the fight, when a new bunch of wolves suddenly appear in the distance. Opposite to the harbor we have been pushed to, they are running in the streets, among the buildings, heading south.

“Was that the Rising Moon pack?” asks Danny

“Yeah, and the Gold Moon too!”

If they are headed south, it means the attack is even bigger than we thought! I hear some distressed wolf yelps around us. The Sea Moon wolves are losing ground with us. I try to reach out to my peers from the White Moon and Opal Moon to check the situation in the north, but before I can decide on someone, Nora’s voice resonates clearly in my head again.

“Elena, are you there yet?”

“On my way. But my friends told me there’s a lot of them. Really, a lot.”

“Is your pack okay?”

Moon Goddess, if only. I wish I could be with them! Right when I’m about to answer, five or six new wolves join us. This time, I recognize them. They were at the Jade Moon territory the first time I met Nora.

“For now. The White Moon is there too and some of the Sea Moon pack warriors joined, as well. But those damn vampires just keep coming.”

“The Blood Moon is on their way.”

“I figured so. Nate’s guys just arrived too.”

“What about the other clans?”

“They have to watch out for the other sides of the city. This might be a massive attack. I just saw some guys from the Gold Moon and Rising Moon packs heading south.”

I’m starting to think Nora might get seriously good at this mind-linking thing, I feel like she’s right next to me, talking to me! I have to focus though, the battle is raging around me. Boyan and Daniel are both staying close to me, our trio fending off the vampires the best we can, trying to keep our position.

Damn, they just keep coming. I don’t even understand why they keep trying to go east, as if they were aiming somewhere specific. We are just at the edge of the harbor, but more and more keep coming, in a rhythm.

Suddenly, I hear screams from the vampires. Many wolves turn their heads the same way too. I can feel it even before we see him.

“Holy fuck, is that…”

“Yeah. The King.”

The huge, ferocious black wolf appears suddenly, his Alpha Aura oppressing everyone like a dark hurricane. Many wolves completely forget about fighting for a second just to get out of hisway. He storms through the battle, killing the vampires within his reach one after another in front of our eyes. He tears them apart like freaking puppets, their limbs flying in every direction. It’s a horror scene. Thank Moon Goddess that monster is on our side.

The King goes past us without giving us a single look. Damn, he is even scarier when he’s fighting, that killing machine.

Next to me, Daniel even shape-shifted out of fear. His wolf took over because he sensed a stronger alpha, I can’t blame him. I really can’t believe the King’s hellish aura.

“You okay, Danny?”

“Yeah, well, much better now that he is going away. Moon Goddess, I swear I was that close to wetting my fur.”

“I know.”

Despite how scary he is, the King cleared a lot of the vampires for us. Even the Sea Moon wolves look like they’re in better shape now that there’s a lot less blood-suckers to deal with, and I can take a few steps back to catch my breath.

I pray silently that my baby can hold on. I’ve been moving around so much. But she was fine so far despite my training, right? I spot more vampires coming, and growl automatically, fucking annoyed and exhausted. Hold on, baby, Mom’s got a few more vampires to fend off.

We keep fighting, and I start to understand why Boyan is still here instead of following his sister to Nora’s location. That idiot is protecting me, just like Danny! Did he tell him? I can barely get my hands on any vampires now, Boyan is like a wall of fur in front of me, while I just have to wave my iron bar around to keep my surroundings clear.
