I was already out of hearing range but… they clearly didn’t know who I was. That was fair. It was a myth... a legend pups tell around campfires. Gosh… I needed a refresher... what could the white wolf do? Dylan Frost had a lot of research on it because his parents did. I could ask him.
I crossed the border at a lightning fast pace. No one could’ve stopped me even if they had been there. I saw several wolves come up short when I passed them. Another one fell over. Someone yelled, “We have to get to the fight! Get up, man!” The guy shouted, “Did you see what just flashed by us?”
I came over a hill and my eyes widened. My dream was really happening. My mom was bleeding and on the ground. Fury filled me and I heard Xander shout in anger. The guy fighting Sugar shifted back and smiled sinisterly at my mom.
My plan formed quickly. I was covered by the tree line so I could jump out at him and take him by surprise instead of letting him see my attack coming. I changed course and went towards them with this plan in mind.
The guy turned back towards the crowd, “Ohhh Drake McAlister, you’re going to want to see this. Watch me kill your mate before your eyes, just like you killed my dad.” What? His dad? Who the hell was this guy? The Alpha the of Ducant had pups?
HOLY CRAP?! WAS THAT HOW EZRA AND BOOKER WERE RELATED?! Booker was the Alpha of the Ducants' son?! I shook my head chiding myself, “FOCUS, Melanie!” I certainly had many thoughts to track down.
My mom threw a punch, but the guy dug his hands into a wound on her leg. She screamed and went down. Mom yelled, “DON’T WATCH, DRAKE! I LOVE YOU!” Dad screamed, “NO, SAM!” My brothers screamed, “MOM!”
Fury liked I’d never known filled me as the guy arched his arm back. He was going to rip my mom’s heart out. I dropped the duffle bag and snarled in anger. Everything stopped, including everyone fighting. Which was a serious mistake, but it worked for me since I was going to kill this guy.
Holy mother of PEARL! The snarl... in my vision... was me? Or Freya…whatever…same thing. I shook that thought then charged out of the tree line. I heard several gasps as I ripped the guy's outstretched arm off. I hit him in the face with it. He fell to the ground, and I pounced on him and dug his heart out of his chest.
I looked around while Freya roared in anger. I took a defensive position standing over my mom. People were staring at me in shock. I felt Xander’s shooting through my body. My mom whispered, “The white wolf?” I used their surprise and killed two more bad wolves. Freya said, “I’m suppressing ourscent, or every ally would know it was us.” That’s how she did it with Oden too during Jason and Addison Mating Ceremony. Which meant Oden knew what color we were. Jeez. This was all so complicated
I heard a voice I knew well, “CAPTURE THAT WOLF! DO NOT HURT THE WHITE WOLF! WE WILL BE SO POWERFUL WITH IT BY OUR SIDES!” I looked over in his direction and Freya snapped her jaws in anger at him.
If only Trevor knew... that the white wolf was me. They’d had me this whole dang time and used me as a punching bag. The irony… was just so high. I glared at Trevor McCann with all my hatred. Oh… he was so dead.
Freya agreed, “We will take that pup down. He will SUFFER for what he put you through.” Not just me…her too. Coming here was a serious error in judgement.
I ran over to the tree line and grabbed the duffle bag with my teeth. I needed to get my mom to someone who could heal her. I looked around easily seeing Haley was the closest to me. I sent Xander a longing look because I wanted to run to him, but it wasn’t the logical route.
My mate was frozen in shock, I think he somehow knew even though I didn’t sense Oden’s presence in this battle. Freya purred, “Mate knows and Oden is there but he’s silenced. All will pay for that.” Ok I was also angry for Oden…but it was good… Xander figured it out since… he would have to know eventually so… that was fine.
Freya told me, “We can electrify ourselves and put mom on our back. Anyone we want to hurt will get fried if they touch us.” Handy. Freya added, “Once we train more, we can heal everyone’s wolf here, but right now we can heal mate and one more.” I answered, “Heal Xander and his dad.”
Freya asked, “Are you sure?” I confirmed, “Yes, Eric and Thor are legendary fighters. They are the best one to heal besidesXander… who I would’ve picked anyway.” I laughed adding, “Get it... I’m a legend and he’s a legendary fighter.” Freya snorted, “Yes, I do. You’re in a bit of shock.”
We were being surrounded. My dad screamed, “SAM, LOOK OUT!” I ripped the throat out of a wolf who was coming for my mom then maneuvered her onto my back. She instinctually wrapped her arms around my neck.
I looked down at my paws that were now glowing yellow. Freya chuckled, “And the fun begins. We are going to run now.” We took off. People were talking all around me…. well…. they probably had been the whole time.
Bad people jumped at us, but they went down when bolts of electricity hit them. They shifted back screaming in pain. Huh... I really could electrocute people. How strange… that would’ve been handy… more than once…. like all the time actually.
I ran to Haley who was fighting with her Hackura brothers. I put the duffle bag down. Prince Marcus grabbed my mom off my back and started assessing her. Haley opened the duffle bag then glanced sharply at me. Yeah, my future mother in law totally knew who I was too.
Haley quickly administered the drug to herself. Julian ran over, grabbed some, injected himself, and popped away with the rest. Valentina wasn’t here, but I knew she wouldn’t be. My friend had a standing brother date with Virgil the same day every month… which happened to be today.
Freya told me, “I’m almost done healing our mate’s wolf and his dad’s. I get to run with Oden.” Haley snorted and said, “Damn, that stuff has a fucking kick.” She started to heal my mom. I took off running toward my literal arch nemesis.
I was gunning for Trevor to take him down. I asked Freya, “Can you electrocute the guys fighting Dalton and Tristan?” Freya snickered, “We can since they are not in a crowd. Crowds,I’d be worried about our accuracy. Simply think about sending a bolt at them.” I did and they went down howling.
Freya purred, “I get to see Oden in wolf form as a wolf myself.” I heard clothes tearing and knew who it was. Dylan yelled, “OH FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN THIS WORLD! WHY GOD? WHY ME? NO, NO! WHY HIM?! MANNNNNN WHY?!” Everyone else was confused.
Tristan said, “I still can’t shift. Should we all take doses of that Laxenread stuff?” No, but I needed to get them the MDTJ doses so they could help. My friends were obviously not wearing their watches or ILYX would’ve dosed them with their serums. UGH!
Someone replied, “Alpha Eric didn’t take any.” I ignored them and doubled my efforts, because Trevor was running for a holoport. I jumped on a wolf fighting Avery, killed him, and kept going. Xander linked me, “Mel, I know you’re the white wolf. Wait for me.” I replied, “He’s not getting away!” Freya agreed, “He’s not.” Xander questioned, “Who?”
I snarled, “That’s Trevor.” Xander growled, “That’s why he had a Fairy charm.” Well, it wasn’t a good one… because he looked like himself. Or I was seeing through it because I was the white wolf. Freya offered, “Yes, that’s why you can see through Fairy charms.” Well, yay me.
I tackled Trevor from the side before he could get through the holoport that a few others had run through. Freya happily informed me, “We can make him shift back.” I let her drive… wait how was I in charge in wolf form?
Freya explained, “We are a team.” Ok…. Freya came to the front of my mind and clearly demanded his wolf shift back because he did. I saw the necklace around his neck and used her paw to rip it off. Freya said, “We could kill him, but I want him to suffer.” So did I.
