Within minutes, we were out and on our way towards the waterfall. We tracked Damien’s scent in that direction as well and I knew for a fact that he probably overheard Ryker and I talking and decided to take it upon himself to play the hero. It was incredibly stupid as well as brave and for a brief moment, I understood how Ryker felt whenever he had to deal with me. It was dark but we kept moving using only the moon as light.
Once we could hear the waterfall, we stopped. I turned to address the guards. “We have to go on foot from here. Vampires have better hearing than us and right now, they might not be able to hear the horses over the waterfall but if we get closer, they might be able to.” Everyone understood and instantly dismounted. Ryker split everyone up into three groups and spread them out to attack from different parts. We went with the first group and went straight ahead. As we got a little closer, I saw Damien’s horse tied to a tree. At least he was in the right place. We stayed close to the trees and the mud to hide our scent and I prayed to the goddess that Damien hadn’t been hurt.
“Stop,” Ryker whispered harshly all of a sudden and everyone froze. “I think I can hear something.” Everyone went quiet and I took out the berries in my pocket and popped them in my mouth just in case it was a vampire. I heard shuffling from the right and I thought it was a vampire too, at least until Damien came rushing out of the woods with his weapon raised. Ryker was quick to intercept it and had his friend pinned against the tree.
“Are you fucking crazy?” he yelled in his face. “What were you thinking when you came out here on your own?” “I was helping,” Damien spat and I could tell that Ryker wanted nothing more than to bash his face in. “I already know where he is keeping them. I was on my way in when I heard the noise.” “We had a plan and you just ran out and ruined it,” Ryker pushed him back. “Well then, since you wanted to be so brave, tell us what the hell you found out.” ‘He has a few vampires guarding the waterfall. I think he has them inside of it, there is a cave. I can’t see in so I don’t know if he has more men inside.” “How were you planning to get through them?” Ryker asked but he stayed silent. “You’re an Alpha now, act like it, and when this is over, there is a lot that we have to talk about.” “As long as we save them, I’ll answer whatever question you have.” That seemed to be enough for Ryker because he turned his back on him and faced the guards. One thing I loved about Ryker was how easy it was for him to think on his feet. In less than a minute after hearing that from Damien, he had come up with a plan and he shared it with all the guards. Once everyone was briefed, Ryker and I stepped out into the clearing.
Just like Damien had said, here were a few guards there, 1 could count about four of them. As soon as they saw us, their lips curled up in sneers.
“It took you long enough,” one of them drawled as he came closer to us. “Put your weapons down and we will take you to our king.” “Why don’t you bring me my cousin and daughters and we can leave and pretend like this never happened,” I offered up with a small smile and he frowned deeply. “You took what was mine and I only want it back.”
“You have no negotiating rights here. You came to us and in case you have forgotten, we have the upper hand here. You and your mate cannot take all of us so I don’t think that is going to happen.” “I’m not going with you.” “We can just take you anyway.” “We both know that’s not going to be possible.” “And why is that?” “Because you’re on my turf now.” He rushed towards me but I already had my plan in motion. As soon as he was close enough, I pulled a tugged the water from the river beneath the waterfall, and knocked him off his balance. In a second, Ryker had cut his head off with his sword.
“Your king probably forgot that I excel in this terrain.” I turned to the other vampires with a smile. “Who wa
Damien’s POV
The spell Stephanie showed Alora to protect our child had given me a lot of relief. While she was training our child would be safe, and should she encounter Sarah while pregnant, our child would be safe from her as well. As long as Alora lived through the encounter.
With as strong and fierce as Alora was now, I doubted there would be much Alora wouldn’t be able to make it out alive from. It would take a lot to take her down. The protection spell also soothed Zane, and knowing it was our blood that helped provide that protection gave us both a sense of pride.
The time for Alora to battle Bulma was now here. “What form are you going to train in today with Bulma?” I asked her.
Her brow furrows and her mouth bends down in a frown as she thinks for a moment, then she says. “I really, really, really want to battle her in my Kitsune form.”
“Well then, Kitsune form it is, mine is called Moyra, what is yours called?” Bulma asked her, she was standing to our side, her mates standing behind her.
My mate looks at her, delighted Bulma had agreed to the form she had wanted to train in the most. “Mine is called Starlight,
Damien named it.” she says in a bright and happy tone. If she had her tail right now, it would we wagging in her excitement.
“How did you come up with that name?” Bulma asked me.
“It’s been my nickname for Alora since I first met her when she was a pup.” I said. was
“Dang Alpha, you are really showing off now. Who knew you were this big a romantic.” Alex said in an impressed tone.
“We’re going to have to step up our game if he’s the example of romantic male.” said Tobias, Alex nodded.
“What’s your secret?” asked Alex.
By this point Alora’s hidden her face in my chest and her shoulders are shaking, and every now and then one of the giggles she’s trying to suppress escapes her. I look down at my mate and allow the love I feel for her flow from me into her. “Love, that’s all it
is, just love her with everything you are, and strive to make her happy every moment you can.”
Alora stops giggling and looks up at me with overwhelming emotions, I couldn’t resist capturing her lips in a long lingering kiss.
“That, that right there, is what Alex and I want with you.” Tobias said to Bulma in a husky voice.
“I wouldn’t mind having that at all.” Bulma replies in a soft voice.
I lift up from Alora’s lips and gazed into her eyes. “Have fun my Starlight.” I tell her, my voice husky and growly with emotion.
She smiles at me and nods, then I have to let her leave my side as she goes down to the arena floor with Bulma. My two new
Enforcers sit behind me, one on each side, Alora’s, with Kass and Bella at their sides, came and sat in front of me, one on each side. Xander and Beatrice were to my left, Jaxon and Victor to my right, when Alora got back, she would be surrounded with protection.
I look over to where my mother, father, Stephanie, Sabastian, Master Brock, Master Sam and all of Alora’s brothers sat. They were all watching and talking excitedly among themselves, I could hear several praises for Alora. Hearing all this made me happy, they truly loved Alora, this was our family, our pup would grow up loved and cherished by this family.
All we could do right now, is be vigilant when we were out and about with Alora, now that she was pregnant, I would insist on her taking her enforcers or Beta and Gamma with her everywhere she goes when she’s not by my side from now on. Darien,
Serenity, Matt and Lauren come over to sit with us, so Kass, Bella, Kian and Galen move over to one side so they could sit next to them.
I look at Matt and Lauren, and I see a change in Matt’s red string of fate, the arrival of his mate is now in flux, seems there has been a change on her end. This was an interesting power of mine, and the Goddess gave it to me for a reason. I looked at
Bulma’s two mates, and already, I could see that their red strings to Bulma and each other have become stronger, they were more rope like now.
