Chapter 549
All hell broke loose. Garith whirled away from my knife as I sliced towards him after the guard dropped to the ground. I swung on the next male holding Rowan as the female slipped a knife into Rowan’s hand. She twirled away, ducking under arms reaching for her. One snagged the string to the mask as she slid towards Lynn. Her mask slipped from her face , revealing dark eyes I recognized. Brandon dove for Lynn, but the female, dark and ready, was already there slicing for his face as Lynn cackled . Toya’s grin matched Lynn’s as she sliced for Brandon again. The two twirled around each other, Toya with her knives and Lynn with her claws, slashing at any man that got too close.
Brandon tried again but earned himself a nice slice up his arm as Toya danc blood dripped from his fingers.
away. “You stupid bitch.” He screamed as the
Toya grabbed Lynn’s hand, and out of the corner of my eye, I watched as Lynn twirled Toya in the air, kicking the five men trying to attack them at once. “I may be a bitch.” She grinned as she landed back on her feet. “But I’m the bitch that is going to make sure that in this lifetime. You fucking die, Alpha.” Her mocking tone had Brandon gritting his teeth. More men pushed forward, and I lost sight of my friends.
I spun from a blade, my attention back on my battle to my mate. Somehow in the fray, Rowan had been pulled farther away from me, and I called after him. “Rowan!” I took a step but then whirled away from the attack. I heard another voice from the crowd in the opposite direction, and I spun to find who screamed.
The knot in my chest loosened when I heard Micca’s voice call from the middle of the pack of me. “Get off of me. ” Hex scream was one of anger, not fear, and a smile worked its way onto my lips
I started towards the voice only to see Hanna bellow as she dove for our friend. “She said get off.” Hanna kicked out and the male that had Micca went flying. They grinned at each other as Micca got up off the ground and dusted her pants.
“Stupid fucking males.” She slipped a sword from her,back and screamed. “Let’s fucking go.” She looked like she was going to take off again , so I called out to everyone.
“Stay together and fight as pairs. ” I called out. Toya and Lynn put their backs together as Hanna and Micca did the same. I fought my way to Rowan. “Where is Garith?” I called out, searching for the man of the hour.
Rowan spun in a quick circle. “He must have slunk away when you attacked. He must be running away or waiting for this to end.”
I scoffed as I cut down another man. “Pathetic.” A man tried to tackle me as I jumped over him, but the blood on my hands made the blade I had slip from my grip. I spun, looking for it, but it was lost in rose petals, and grass.
Hanna tackled someone against the makeshift walls that Shannon had the pack erect on in the field, and the pair went through it, making the entire room shake. Micca followed quickly through the same hole. I felt panic wanting to bubble until I saw the pair jump back into the room, and attack a new group o
Someone sliced claws down my arm, and I screamed as I twisted away from the attack. Rowan bellowed my name, but I shifted my claws and attacked. The male was going for blood, his fangs bared as he swung at me. “You stupid, traitorous bitch. You should follow your grandfather’s plans. The brotherhood knows what is best for our kind.”
I shook my head as I snapped my hand out, my claws catching his flesh, earning a moan of pain. “If you believe his lies, you are stupider than you let on. He doesn’t want our kind to flourish. He wants power. He wants to be king, but he is too weak to mile, so he is setting up the perfect puppet so he can pull the strings.”
“Shut up, you whore. You don’t know what you are talking about.” The man shuddered as the shift took over him. I shook my head as my hand shot out.
“You think I’m stupid, but you are the one who shifted mid–fight without enough room.” I ripped his spinal cord out, and his shift stopped. I dropped his body to the ground, spinning to the next attack.
There was a shriek, and everyone seemed to pause for a second, unsure of what to do. “You ruined everything.” Shannon materialized behind me with a knife. She slid the silver blade into my back as I let out a howl.
