Page 304 of His Sunshine Baby

“I’m okay, I’m okay. I’m just… not in the best shape today.”

No shit, she just gave birth minutes ago! I think she got scratched a bit, but she seems fine, and Damian is watching her like a hawk too. His own mate appearing on the battlefield gave him even more reason to fight harder. I try to sense my own, and Nate is near, almost here actually.

I roll back to avoid another vampire and bite him savagely. My aura, my aura. I try to take my friends out of my mind for a moment to focus on that strange bond with the humans. What can I do? I can’t send them my thoughts or inner wolf’s talk like I would for a wolf. They are humans!

“Elena!”

“Nate!”

My mate jumps next to me, but he immediately becomes one more target. Not my man, you damn blood-suckers! I growl and ferociously attack the enemy that was about to get him, taking them down in a fury.

Suddenly, I feel it. Like a spark. I growl louder, letting my anger grow.

“Uh… Elena…?”

My friends feel my furor, growing like a fire, a raging fire. My aura is burning up, ardent, and this time, it ignites. The vampires nearby suddenly screech, retreating, as if I was burning them. I let my anger guide me, and growl, attack, bite like a machine. I can even feel Nate and Liam backing away, unsure about my sudden state.

I’m just a big cloud of raging emotions right now. A raging sun, showing the way and burning high. The wolves can’t feel it, they are stealing glances at me, confused by my sudden fit of rage and my aura going wild. But I feel it burst all the way to the humans I’m connected with. That’s right. Silver City isn’t just full of werewolves. Half of it is human. Half of my blood is human. Come and fight. Get angry at these vampires, get mad. I growl again, showing my fangs to those creatures who dare attack my territory.This is my city, you damn creatures.Our city.

Chapter 38

It’s like something crawling under my skin, a spark, running through my veins and guiding my anger. I feel stronger, faster, fiercer. More dangerous, and my enemies know it too. I show my fangs and growl aggressively. The vampires around us are retreating, unsure, looking at me with fear in their eyes.

“I don’t know what you’re doing, Selena, but please continue!”

“It seems to scare them. They won’t approach you, Sunshine.”

“The humans are coming, too,” I say.

“What? The humans?”

I’m sure of it. I can feel hundreds of them, moving to the northern border where we are. I hope somehow, it helps us get out of this mess and shift the balance in our favor. I never thought this would really turn into an all-out war, but after all, this is their city too. If we add the humans to our numbers, we might finally have an advantage.

“I think you’re doing it to our wolves too, everyone is… glowing.”

I can tell. I’m communicating my aura all around me, spreading this fire to the other warriors. My rage is contagious. Is that the warrior side of my blood? Sharing my rage with them,making them eager to fight more. The fights are harsher and more violent than ever, like the werewolves have turned into complete animals, wild beasts.

We keep fighting, but another thing worries me. Sylviana is getting whiter, and the burn marks are extending on her body. This is not good news. Liam keeps glancing at her too.

“She gonna be okay?”

“I don’t know, she’s been using a lot of her magic since earlier. I’ve never seen her use so much.”

The witch is not sparing her efforts. We are surrounded by so much vegetation now, it’s closer to a jungle than the muddy meadow it was a while ago. The water is raging too, flying all around and trying to get to us. Nephera keeps smiling evilly, like she’s possessed.

“How long can you keep that up, little sister? You’re burning so much magic for those pathetic dogs. But you’re too young to use your powers fully, aren’t you? You’ll be exhausted before I’m done!”

With that, she sends another wave towards Liam. She seems to have understood their bond at some point, because she targets the youngest Black brother more than Nate or Damian. Liam is exceptionally agile and has been dodging her attacks for now, but the next mistake might get him killed. The vampires don’t let him rest either. We need to find a way to stop her.

Suddenly, a gunshot resonates in the air, shocking everyone. The whole battlefield freezes. Everyone heard that. We are all waiting, our hearts beating like crazy, but I know. I smile internally, feeling a wave of adrenaline flowing through my veins. Another gunshot, and several others follow. Yes, that’s it. We listen, and it goes on. Bang! Bang! Bang! The vampires start to screech and panic. All the wolves react to it, curious, anxious, trying to see what is going on.

“Tell me that’s good news?”

“What’s going on at the back!”

“The humans! The humans have just come to help us! They have weapons, but they are only shooting at the blood-suckers!”

“Don’t growl at them, you idiot! They’re on our side!”
