Filed to story: Oh For Mates Sake Free Online

The pressure built up inside of me as my desperation grew. The bubble in my mind reached another level, a place where I hadn’t reached before. Panic bubbled up from the depths of my soul, a desperation seeking release, as my mind raced to a place of unknown danger. My body felt drained as the green lights all collected together. They whirled around me like a raging tornado, blinding me to anything else as I took them away, freeing the wolves from control. Faster. Faster. Faster. The swirls reached a crescendo as the colors swirled in dizzying circles as I embraced them within me.

I felt my legs tremble as they gave out. I wanted to brace for impact, but my mind seemed to close as its receptors shut down.

I have the awareness that I am falling. I heard muffled sounds of desperation as I collided with the ground. I’m in darkness but I can’t stay here.

As I struggle to fight against the darkness and open my eyes, the sound of Demetri’s clashing swords and roars of fury fill the air. With a sudden burst of strength, I forced my eyelids open, revealing a horrific scene. A towering demon battled against Demetri, but my attention was stolen away by a hulking wolf stalking towards me, his fangs bared and eyes blazing with hunger. Its sharp fangs glistened in the light as its menacing gaze locked upon me.

Alpha Scott.

Stilts moved in front of me and held out his cane protectively. A light flickered from his cane and then another light attacked his. My arms felt frail, but I managed to push myself into a sitting position. Sheena was frantically trying to heal my exhausted body. I couldn’t shift, not like this. We were both tired. I couldn’t feel any of my sheya magic… I think it was depleted as well. I sat here on my own as Stilts struggled against an unknown force.

Scott’s wolf paused for a moment. This was when a small red-skinned creature with horns and tusks came into view. A glow emitted from his fingertips as he stayed locked on Stilts.

“Damn it all… an Imp.” Stilts growled through his teeth, glancing back at me nervously. He was in no position to protect me. I struggled to my feet and tried to back away. Alpha Scott moved around the imp and Stilts, proceeding towards me. I heard the feral growl from Sion rip into the air. I glanced towards the sound of my mate. Briefly, our eyes met. I could see he wanted to get to me but couldn’t. In front of him was a monstrous fiery hound, the likes I had never seen before. Was that a hell hound?! I have heard rumors how even guardians have struggled against those creatures. What the hell was all of this? It was as if the gates of hell opened up right here.

Clover! Sion’s frantic voice entered my mind as the hell hound blocked his every move.

I’m okay… concentrate on your own fight. Sion didn’t know how I was feeling right now. He didn’t know I couldn’t shift. I didn’t need him worrying about me. Especially if that was a hell hound he was fighting against. I’d figure this out. I just needed to stall and buy myself some time.

I couldn’t connect to anything. I couldn’t shift to Sheena and I couldn’t use my powers. Everyone was busy with fights of their own. I watched as Alpha Scott bared his teeth at me as a low growl escaped his throat.

We only need you alive… we don’t need you unharmed. His unwanted voice crashed into my mind as his feet shifted. He was now in an attacking stance. I would have to try to dodge his attack if I could. My limbs felt unresponsive, and I knew I was in no shape to even evade him. This was going to hurt…

The massive wolf lunged at me and then a streak of gray clashed into him. My mouth parted as the gray wolf came to stand in front of me protectively. Denny…

He turned his head slightly and our eyes met.

Are you okay? His eyes searched mine as I nodded my head.

I’m okay. I just exhausted myself, but I’ll be ready to fight soon.

Clover… I‘m sorry. This man… isn’t the father I know. Maybe I never knew him…

Alpha Scott growled angrily and started pacing to the side. More wolves made their way up to us, emitting the strange glow. I didn’t know what this color meant, but Scott had it too.

Denny curled around me protectively as the wolves’ eyes fixated on me. I knew a conversation was going on between Denny and Scott. I hate that I didn’t know what was being said. I could tell by Denny’s growl that he wasn’t happy. Then more wolves arrived, only they came next to my side.

Joey, Jude, Andrea… and the other wolf must be Stacey. I wanted to know what happened. I wanted to ask them how they were here now, but suddenly ferocious growls ripped into the air.

Denny charged forward and the other wolves collided with a brutal force. My muscles quivered with rage, aching to join the melee. Yet, I remained still, a powerless witness to this raging inferno as Denny and Scott’s wolves toppled down the hill in a wild heap of fur and fury.

The two massive beasts rose like towers of fur and muscle, claws outstretched as they clashed. They bellowed a throaty roar, their duel shaking the ground as they pounded each other with relentless strikes from their deadly talons. Sparks flew in the night air as the two Alphas collided, neither willing to relent until one was defeated.

Scott’s wolf had the advantage of size, but Denny’s wolf was quicker. Denny’s wolf was in his prime and the stronger wolf. As they exchanged blows, at first it was clear Denny would win. However, Scott’s aura began to glow.

“What is that…” I murmured in horror, watching Scott’s wolf begin to dominate over Denny.

“Demons, Clover!” I turned my head to see Stilts fighting with several imp-like creatures. “That pup doesn’t stand a chance. That is demon power.” He grunted as he pushed his cane forward, sending the demon creatures flying back. He panted and glanced back at me. “Some of those wolves have been given demon power. He needs help—” Stilts spun around as a wave of red lightning attacked him. His cane trembled in his hands as he tried to hold off the incoming attack.

I knew I was overexerting myself when I was freeing the Chance pack members. I was so focused on freeing them that I didn’t think about after. Right now, Denny needed my help, and I couldn’t do anything. I watched powerlessly as Scott’s wolf lunged at Denny, knocking him to the ground.

Out of nowhere, Jude’s brown wolf slammed into Scott. Scott’s wolf wasn’t even dazed as he turned his frenzied assault on Jude. Scott’s wolf charged forward, his teeth bared and eyes burning with fury. In an explosive collision, Jude was thrown to the ground and pinned beneath Scott’s powerful wolf. Jude fought for his life, but his effort was in vain. With a savage growl, Scott’s wolf clamped down on Jude’s neck and shook him violently. He then flung his limp body into the side of a tree. The sickening c***k of bone echoed in the air as Jude’s lifeless body slunk to the ground.

My eyes watered up as a silent cry reached my throat. My hands trembled as I stared at my dead friend. Denny dove back into his father with maniacal savagery. I can’t sit here and wait any longer. I have to fight.

Sheena! I called out to my wolf.

We are good enough to shift, but…

That’s all I need. I answered as my fist balled together. I needed my feral form and the rest I would figure out. I could feel my powers starting to stir as they reacted from Jude’s death. I clenched my eyes together and tried not to think about it. I didn’t want to think about Jude being dead and that Kai was on the verge of death.

Oh gods… my friends… my family. I was losing them. I wanted to crumble to my knees and scream out in agony. I felt like I was being strangled as I tried to bury the pain. I promised them both my chocolate chip pancakes. I could see their smiling faces and I wished this was all a bad dream. I wished this was a nightmare and it would all end. But with the metallic scent of blood in the air; and the loud sounds of fighting, I knew it was real. And this was because of someone I trusted… someone who had betrayed us.

My eyes snapped open, burn ing with blinding fury as I looked down the hill. There wasn’t time to grieve now, but I could take this burning anger out on the one who caused this. This poisonous rage bubbling inside of me demanded to be released. Like molten lava coursing through my veins, this dangerous anger demanded to be unleashed. My fists clenched as I hoped I had enough strength to defeat Scott. Once my alpha… no… he was never my alpha. He was always a demon in disguise. Even now, he attacks his own son.

I couldn’t save Jude… I couldn’t save Kai. Pain ripped through my heart like an electric current. I failed them. Now I watched as Denny fought for his life. He was fighting in this battle because of me. He defied his father and took up arms against him for my sake. I couldn’t lose him too. Please… I can’t lose more of my family.

In a flash, silver fur wrapped over me. Finally, I was able to connect with my wolf. My feet shifted on the ground as I tested my strength. Vengeance was coursing through my veins as I fixated my gaze on Scott. It was time to end him.

As fast as I could, I moved through the chaotic fray of wolves as I made my way towards the one responsible for this pain.

Careful, Clover, we are still tired.

But we have our life, and we are not hurt. We can’t sit by and wait any longer.

Clover… this isn’t your fault. This is because of evil, so don’t put that burden on your shoulders. I understand what Sheena is saying, but this raging storm was brewing out of control inside of me.

I glanced around, looking for the others. Claws, teeth, fur, blood, and bodies were all a blur as demons continued to pool in. There was no sight of anyone familiar besides Scott and Denny. Everyone else was busy fighting their own battles. I knew Sion was capable, but a hell hound was a terrifying monster. They were the gate keepers of hell for a reason. If that was what he was fighting against… was he strong enough?
