I ran to Diana's side holding her head up, as Cilia applied pressure on the wound to reduce the bleeding.
She was coughing and already bleeding through her mouth, as her bloody fingers reached out to touch my cheek, but before she could contact me, her arm fell limp.
No.
"Adelina." came Selene's voice from my side, "Adelina, you have to go. You have to fight alongside your mate in this one." Explained Selene, but I didn't move.
I didn't want to move.
"Adelina. You have to go." Explained Selene firmly, "I'll take care of her. Go." And that's all I needed to hear, I grabbed Cilia’s arm, and ushered both her and Anila out of the office.
"Adelina wha-"
"Diana will be fine. But if we don't leave, we won't. You and Anila round up the elderly and children, bring them to the castle." I explained, cutting off a worried Cilia.
"What about you?" She asked.
"Oh I have a wolf to murder." I replied, no remorse in my voice.
"I want to fight. I can fight." Spoke up Anila.
"You're still new to the pack, and until you and James mate, and we've introduced you as a member of this pack, you might be mistaken as the enemy, so I suggest you stay with Cilia. Is that understood?" I spoke firmly.
"Yes Luna." She ceded, her head bowed in respect.
"Good." I nodded, then turned and headed down the stairs and out of the castle.
Darrell's pack stood facing Demitrey's pack, and I made my way and stood shoulder to shoulder with my alpha.
He wasn't going to battle this demon without me.
Chapter 31- “Raging Battle”
*Third Person's pnt. Of view*
The packs stared on to each other, eyes blazing, hearts pumping with excitement, while adrenaline ran through their veins.
Demitrey's eyes were on Darrell's, and Adelina seem to have caught Aimee's eyes because their eyes didn't blink from each other.
While the warriors prepped themselves, Cilia and Anila rounded up the elderly and children, sheltering them up in the castle.
"Give it up Darrell, you've already lost. The second you attacked a member of my pack, you already knew you weren't going to make it out alive, and I told you, you're not going to live this down. Unlike my father I'm not giving you the chance to walk away, but I'm giving you the chance to surrender now, and you won't suffer when you die. Refuse my offer, and well, die an untimely death." Warned Demitrey, his every spoken word coated in venom, his eyes ablaze with an angry fire.
Darrell sucked his teeth then said, "bring it on."
"Let's do it!" Announced Demitrey.
At the alphas' words everyone made eye contact with an opponent.
Demitrey threw the first punch, and all hell broke loose.
*Adelina's pnt. Of view*
Aimee sent her fist flying towards my head, and I blocked it, quickly knocking my elbow into her stomach, she doubled back, and let out a sharp breath, but before I knew it, her leg came flying, causing her toes to come into sharp contact with my jaw.
I felt my neck crack, as my head flew back, and stars began to dance in my vision.
Dang that girl could kick.
I quickly recovered as she came at me, she ran onto me, but I blocked her swing, placing my hands on her shoulder, and knocking my knee into her stomach repeatedly.
She managed to slip from my hold, but I didn't let her get far.
She made a run for me, and I did a quick turn, causing my heel to knock into her cheek.
Blood spurred from her cut skin, as she spit out blood, and possibly some teeth.
She used her super speed, and body slammed me to the ground, the air leaving my lungs at and unnatural speed.
I felt the sharp pain of my ribs breaking, as Aimee grabbed onto my shoulders, and slammed me back on the harsh ground repeatedly, while my hands desperately grasped for a weapon.
She continued her onslaught and missed my sand-filled fist that erupted into her vision.
She lost her balance, and I quickly gained control.
I straddled her, gripped her shirt with my left hand, and let my right fist do the talking, as I beat it repeatedly into her face.
Not caring that I hardly felt remorse for my actions.
She tried to pull the same trick on me, as she attempted to blind me with the sand, but my right hand held her jaw, as my left wrapped around her neck as I twisted them simultaneously, and in a split second, Aimee was numb.
I didn't even have time to catch a breath, for yet another female tackled me.
We rolled around, until I shoved her off me.
We both quickly got to our feet, and of course, her leg went flying, but it met halfway with mine.
The second our limbs encountered each other, another sharp pain ran from my leg, causing me to stagger back in surprise, but since the enemy was vulnerable, I couldn't let my pain slow me down.
The chick also seemed affected by our kick meet, and she also staggered back, struggling to regain her balance.
Evil to say, but I took advantage of her vulnerability.
I sent my other leg around, and it knocked into her right temple causing her to stumble to her knee, and with one flying punch, she twisted around, and fell cold to the harsh ground.
I looked around me, and I began seeing the bodies of the opposing pack littering the floor.
Demitrey and Darrell were in deep combat, each taking measured swings at their opponents. They moved so gracefully, yet their motives were deadly.
I was so caught up in a trance from watching the alphas battle it out, that had Aden not warn me, I would've had a knife plunged into my back.
The attacker came from behind, but I turned a second early, grabbed onto his armed hand, twisted him around, while guiding his hand to run across his neck.
The knife ate away at his skin, and he also fell cold to the ground.
Another female warrior made a run for me, but it was like a trance, I plunged my claws into her chest and ripped out her heart, with only a gasp she dropped to the floor, bathing the dry sand with her blood.
Wolves were growling, humans were grunting, and people were dying.
I felt a sharp pain to my side, but I wasn't the one attacked, it was Demitrey.
He was getting ambushed by Darrell's men, and both Kade and James were currently fighting their own demons.
Demitrey quickly transformed into Trey, throwing the feebly humans off his massive form.
Darrell snarled, as he also transformed into his wolf.
Now the two humongous creatures began to circle each other.
Darrell made a run for Demitrey, and Demitrey met him halfway.
The two alphas balanced themselves on their hind legs, while the front ones scratched away at their opponent.
*Third Person's pnt. Of view*
Both Demitrey and Darrell were powerful in wolf form. Both a spitting image of the other.
Darrell seemed to be fighting with anger, and Adelina couldn't help but feel the urge to help her mate.
"Aden, do you remember that movie, where the guy transformed into his wolf mid-air?" Asked Adelina, her eyes attentively watching the two main wolves.
"Yeah... You want to try it don't you?" Replied Aden with a knowing tone.
"We have to help him somehow!" Urged Adelina.
"Okay, but how do you know which one to Take down?" Asked Aden.
Their wolves were practically identical to each other.
"Demitrey has a scar on his side. Darrell doesn't. The scar in wolf form is a patch of missing fur, in the shape of the jagged scar" Answered Adelina after making a quick observation.
"Okay, let’s do it." Agreed Aden.
Adelina took in a deep breath as she turned and looked around her.
Her eyes widened in horror, as realization hit her hard.
People shouldn't have died this way.
Families shouldn't have been separated in such a painful manner. Mates shouldn't have been taken away from their significant othe
rs in a war.
For the rest that remained, she had to give them a chance to live again, to go home, and see their families.
All it would take is one more death.
Darrell's death.
As Adelina came to that resolution, a man came running towards her, and her earlier thoughts were forgotten, as she felt herself get caught in a trance.
She set her feet, extended her claws, and just as the man was at arm’s length, Adelina plunged her fingers into his neck, and swung him around, slamming him to the ground, then she looked into the man's eyes and pressed her fingers into his neck, suffocating him, and causing him to choke on his own blood.
Adelina didn't have time to contemplate what she had become.
She'd cry for those who died by her hand, and by the hands of her pack later, but for now, she had to be the Luna she was destined to be.
One more death.
That's what she promised herself.
Adelina backed up and placed some distance between her and the alphas who had yet to relent on their attack. She got a running head start, jumped into the air, and felt her body morph into Aden.
As she transformed, Adelina made sure to keep her eyes on Darrell, and when she landed, she made sure her teeth enclosed around Darrell’s neck.
*Adelina's pnt. Of view*
He yelped and rolled over, and I lost my grip on him, he rose on his hind legs, and I mirrored his actions, our paws scratching at each other, and as we began to lose our balance, I tucked my teeth into his throat.
Darrell tried to fight off, but I kept my grip on him. The more he moved, the more my teeth sunk into him. He tried to pry me off, but his efforts became weak, until he had no living strength left.
Darrell stopped moving, and everything stopped.
All around me, wolves along with humans, they all froze.
No one moved, nor did anyone make a sound. It was as though time itself stopped moving.
Chapter 32- “Rise of a Luna”
*Adelina's pnt. Of view*
Darrell laid dead and still, the second his last breath exit his body, a whoosh broke out as a warm wind blew out in every direction, letting everyone know that an Alpha had died.
His corpse transformed back into his human form, as well did I.
Cilia ran to me with a blanket, covering up my body, but besides that nobody moved.
The elderly and the children headed out the castle and formed a circle around us. The last black wolf transformed into his human form, and Demitrey, not even caring that he was as bare as a newborn baby stood to me, his black eyes staring dead at me.
No birds chirped in the forest, no wind blew by, no one moved a muscle and it was s as quiet as the valley of the dead.
Then, Demitrey's eyes cleared up, and he did the unexpected.
He lowered himself on his right knee and lowered his head as he acknowledged me "Luna."
My eyes widened at his humble gesture, and I opened my mouth to say something, but a movement from Kade stopped me in my tracks.
Kade, along with James both lowered themselves on their right knee, and bowed their heads repeated after their alpha "Luna."
Then, one by one, the warriors took their right knee, women followed their lead, children of all ages kneeled, and the elderly who couldn't perform the same act, bowed their heads in respect, and all in unison, in beautiful harmony, their voices rose "LUNA."
And at that moment, a warm wind blew by, and it was as though Selene herself declared "Witness The Rise Of A Luna!" And just like that, people broke into cheers.
They jumped to their feet, jumping, cheering, and clapping, while Demitrey stood, and made his way towards me.
His eyes were blazing with unspoken passion, he caught me by surprise by wrapping his arms around my waist, and pulled me to his chest, and at that moment, his eyes connected to mine, it felt as though everything faded.
It was only him and I.
His hand came up to my cheek, and softly grazed my skin, causing me to draw in a deep breath.
Then, he didn't even waste a second, he connected his lips with mine, and the crowd broke into an even louder cheer.
He held me close and kissed me as though he had truly missed me.
He kissed me as though I was the one for him.
His queen.
His Luna.
When he finally pulled away, he grabbed my hand, intertwined our fingers, and raised them high above our heads, and once again, one by one, everyone, our pack, and those who were once part of Darrell's pack took a knee and bowed their heads in respect.
Demitrey opened his mouth and spoke with the authority of a king "today we fought a battle, and for once we weren't alone. Our Luna fought side by side with us, and she defeated the enemy. Before this, we fought ruthlessly, and mercilessly, those of the opposing pack, by now I would've ordered my warriors to kill you, but because of this woman, I am now a changed man. So as of today I am giving you a choice, to those who once took part of my brother's pack, you have a choice, leave our grounds and never return, or make amends, and join us, we will welcome you with open arms, let you live among us, and become part of our family.
You have 24 hours to choose. Is that understood?" He finished with a question, and with a "Yes alpha." He dismissed them.
He grabbed my hand and led us to the castle.
He carried me bridal style up the stairs, and straight into our bedrooms.
He didn't even wait for me to close the door, he turned me around, and started kissing me. The way his tongue danced in my mouth and challenged me to kiss him back was just indescribable.
I could feel the heat radiating off his naked skin, that only made me drop the blanket quicker.
I wrapped my arms around his neck as he continued to kiss me.
He left my lips and started leaving pecks here and there as he said "You, are the sexiest woman I have ever seen." Then he nipped my skin causing me to moan out as he added in a gruff tone "I want you."
The second he said that, his member landed firmly against me, and I had to use all the willpower in me to say "we're dirty. Covered with dirt and blood, can we take a shower first?"
Now mind you, this was supposed to be a way to clean up after our battle, except that wasn't what Demitrey had in mind, his eyes went dark as he picked me up bridal style, and once again carried me away to the bathroom.
He placed me in the shower tub, then followed me in.
Well this just became so much more intimate.
He turned on the water as his eyes cleared up, and I knew that it was just Demitrey there.
The shower burst with tiny drops of water, as the water began to run over our skin.
I felt my face heat up from the way Demitrey was staring at me, and I found myself averting my eyes, but he quickly placed his finger under my chin, and tilted my head to look at him.
The connection that traveled through our staring contest was overwhelming, so full of passion, love, and unspoken words.
He caressed his thumb on my bottom lip and I found myself separating them as a means of invitation, then I took it a step further.
I grabbed into his hand, and wrapped my lips around his thumb, softly sucking on the pad is his finger.
He moaned softly, and closed his eyes, as I softly nipped it with my teeth.
He pulled his hand away and kissed me, then kissed my neck, followed down the valley of my breasts, then he kissed my stomach, until he was down on his knees.
He lifted my right leg, and placed it on his shoulder, as I leaned back against the colt tile wall.
He used his fingers to open my folds, then his tongue started it's work.
His warm tongue tasted me from the bottom up, he kissed me, and nipped my inner thigh.
At some point, I found myself digging my hand into his hair, as he used the tip of his tongue to roll my bundle of nerves.
I grunted, as he bit it softly, sending jolts of pleasure to travel from across my entire body to my uterus, causing
me to gasp and moan all at the same time.
Before I could comprehend, he was pumping two of his fingers in and out of me.
I was so overwhelmed by the pleasure, that when he picked me up and impaled me onto his shaft, I was gone.
I held onto his shoulders, as he thrust his hips into me, while my back slid up and down on the wall.
He grunted a gruff "Look at me." And I locked my eyes with his dark ones.
He bit my bottom lip and tugged at it, his hips picking up the pace, as one of his index fingers found my clit, and began to play with it.
"Ah! Demitrey!" I yelled out, as he groaned and said "say my name again! Say it!"
"Demitrey! Oh! Baby!" I yelled out, gasping, my walls tightening around his thick length.
"That's right babe! Say my name!"
"Oh Demitrey!" I yelled out, sensational waves running under my skin, causing me to curl my toes, while goosebumps of sensual pleasure rose above my skin.
"You are my Luna." He declared, his eyes boring into mine, the water falling onto his head not keeping him from staring straight into my eyes!
"Whose alpha?" He grunted, as I felt him enlarge inside my wet walls that constantly constricted around him, causing my body to be overflowed with pleasure.
"Whose alpha?" He asked again, and I declared "My Alpha!" As I became undone.
I was on cloud nine, as I release everything that held back, and I felt it, as he came inside of me. His warm seeds filling me up.
I bit his shoulder, as he sunk his canine teeth into my mark, and another orgasm followed right through me, as the mate bond intensified the feelings that were currently releasing from our bodies.
After a few seconds of calming ourselves, he was still inside me as he pulled me up from his shoulder and kissed me as he declared softly "I love you."
Chapter 33- “Trey and Aden”
*Third Person's pnt. Of view*
All of Darrell's people joined the pack, no questions asked. No one went rogue, and everyone one of them agreed to accept Demitrey and Adelina as their leaders.
Demitrey welcomed everyone into the pack and connected them into the pack link.
He gave families homes and made sure everyone had somewhere to stay.
