I don’t have time to complain, though, as the vampires keep trying to get past us. Where the hell do they want to go? Are they aiming for the city, to the humans? Why the east? The Sea Moonwolves are gathered with us at their border, but we are now pushed a couple steps into their territory.

Suddenly, several vampires manage to kill one of them, and run past us. Fuck!

“Nora! Some passed through our defense! They are running through the city!”

“What? Where are they headed to? They’re targeting the humans?”

“I don’t know, but it doesn’t look like it. They are staying west on the Sea Wolves’ turf! Following them now!”

I completely forget about Boyan and Daniel and start running after those vampires. Where the hell are they going?

It was obviously a planned attack. There are too many of them, and they are too well equipped. Something’s wrong, even for a vampire attack. I meet up with a group of Sea Moon wolves, but they are too busy to complain about me intruding on their turf. I feel Nora coming closer too, did she shape-shift? Her Alpha Aura is completely different from her mate’s. While the King’s aura is like a dark hurricane, Nora’s is more like a white, silent shadow spreading around. I can’t tell which one is scarier.

I feel her approaching, and stop running to focus on my surroundings. I’m worried because I can’t reach my pack anymore. Moon Goddess, I hope they are fine!

“Chris! Update!”

“Update, my ass, where the fuck are you? It’s a war zone here!”

“Chris!”

“I can’t even tell you, Elena, there are so many people here! All the packs, almost! But the vamps- Shit!”

I panic for a second as I suddenly lose our mind-link, like he was pushed away or something. I try to mind-link someone else to check on my cousin, but he is back before that.

“I have no idea what’s going on, Elena, the water is attacking us!”

The water? What the hell? I probably misheard.

“Chris, what? The water what?”

“It’s attacking us! For real! Ouch! Anyway, get over here!”

I feel like the battle is taking a turn for the worse in the north, and I’m dying to go there, but… I try to focus on our position first. We got some rest after the King’s arrival, but now that he’s gone further north, those damn vampires are just going at it again. It’s a never-ending battle! I keep fighting back and trying to get closer to Nora, resisting the urge to shape-shift. So much for no stress!

Suddenly, I feel something like a tingling at the back of my head, a ghost sensation.

“Elena?”

“It’s Nora. I think she’s hurt!”

“How would you know, she’s…”

But I ignore Daniel, turning to Boyan.

“Boyan, get your damn ass to Nora! Now! Leave me alone!”

I try to focus on her, and it’s surprisingly easy for me to locate her aura, even in the middle of that frenzy. Seems like she’s fine, and she’s got back-up too. Did Tonia join her? Or people from the Blood Moon? She’s on the Sea Moon clan’s turf, quite close.

“Elena! Are you okay?”

“Yeah, doing my best. I’m just a few blocks ahead of your position, but the situation’s worse here.”

I want to keep running in her direction, but Boyan suddenly gets in my way.

“Damn it! What is he still doing here? Stubborn wolf!”

“Elena?”
