Chapter 115: Chapter 115

[ALPHA DOMINIC’s Point of View]

As much as I tried to conserve my strength, the poison in my wound depleted my power after a nonstop fight I was having with this giant, scar-faced werewolf in front of me.

[You are not going anywhere. You will die here, Alpha of the Silver Crescent!] He snarled at me.

Despite my fatal injuries from his minions, the bear-like beasts, and the silver bear trap, I still managed to stand and fight the bastard.

He dealt a deep gash on his back, a new, ugly wound across his face that I made sure would scar him for life. He was limping after I broke his left rib and his right hind leg. But this one was tougher than I had imagined. If he were an ordinary Gamma, he would have already died from the wound on his back. But I could tell he wasn’t just an ordinary wolf. Something was wrong with him—enhanced or drugged? I wasn’t sure, but he was definitely not a normal wolf.

[Can’t able to move now, Alpha?] he laughed in his raspy voice as he encircled me, even when he was already limping. [Don’t tell me you are dying on me now. I am not satisfied yet! I need to see you begging for your life!]

The herb. I need to take it back to my wife.

I grunted in pain as I attempted to stand up and still fight. I had to finish this fight and go home to my family. Samantha was waiting for me. Devona and Diana—I couldn’t make my twins worry. The case where the herb was was still in my stomach and I was starting to feel uncomfortable with it as I glared at the scarred-face guy. I couldn’t waste any more time. I had to finish him. Now.

The problem was, I couldn’t move. I was almost at my limit. And the only thing on my mind right now was to run and secure the herb. Make sure I could make it at least inside the gates. But seeing my enemy, I knew he would do everything in his power to keep me from leaving this place alive. I had to think. I had to know how I could escape this.

It was very unfortunate that my body couldn’t heal itself because of the poison. It was as if these bastards had sent me those beasts and the trap before deciding to face me themselves. They had thought this. They knew I would come.

They didn’t take the herb because they expected I would come for this. They used it as bait to corner me. To make sure I would never come back again to Silver Crescent!

[What are you waiting for?] I snarled at him as I winced from the pain. I managed to get up but my body was trembling with exhaustion as the poison slowly depleted the remaining strength in me. [Why don’t you come here and let’s f*cking see who would get out of this g*dd*mned forest first?!]

He grinned mockingly as he stopped from walking around me like a f*cking hyena. [I like that look on your face, Alpha of the Silver Crescent. I like seeing that desperation and fear as you beg for your life.]

[No one is begging here, f*ck face.] I spat at him as I steadied my knees and ignored the excruciating pain of the poisoned wound on my leg. [If there is someone who is going to beg here, I will make sure it’s you.]

He attacked me at full speed. My whole body tensed as I avoided his fangs and claws, trying to surpass his speed despite all of my injuries. I felt oxygen slowly burn my lungs as I breathed fast and deep. My shoulders and thighs sent shooting pain that almost made me want to scream in agony. I was one of the strongest Alphas on this continent.

I won many fights for decades as the leader of my pack. But this person, this dickhead—he’s something that makes me worried the most. If he was some product of an experiment just like what Samantha had told me before, the super soldiers that her mother used to study—then this continent and the royal family would be in danger.

All I could do was evade his razor-sharp claws and look for any chance for me to get away as he burned all his strength with his speed. To my dismay, it was as if he was never drained of energy, and my eyes were slowly blurring until one wrong step and I stumbled on top of a boulder, losing my balance.

With one quick slash of his claws, he had reached and lacerated my chest before I stumbled down the boulder and fell flat on the rocky ground. My ears rang; my head was spinning, and the adrenaline in me made my heart beat so fast that I wanted to puke.

[You think you can outsmart me by thinking you can exhaust me with your little trick?] he snickered as he stood in front of me; his eyes were dark with a dead look in them as he glared at me through his nose [Like I told you, you will never get away from this place alive. So prepare yourself and say your prayers, Alpha Dominic. I will make sure your cold, lifeless body will come back to your pack and your family to mourn.]

He was right. I had nothing left.

But as despair started to gnaw inside me, I felt a strange warmth in my chest that brought light into my eyes as they widened with surprise. It was coming straight in my direction, swift and terrifying. And I knew, from this feeling through the bond, it was my mate who was coming. She was approaching swiftly and powerfully like a storm preparing to unleash her fury upon this forest.

It was my turn to snicker despite the pain. [Prepare yourself because you will die here.]

[Don’t make me laugh—]

Before he could finish his sentence, something like a ball of thunder came and slashed the side of his face, making the scar-faced werewolf scream in both shock and agony. My vision was blurred, but I stood up and collected every ounce of strength left in me as I crouched and roared. There, on top of the boulder on the other side of the river, stood my wife—her red-goldish fur was glowing like celestial fire as she stared at me with her eyes that were now liquid gold.

She was beautiful and terrifying at the same time...

[What the—] The enemy growled as he gazed at my wife, his eyes widening with the same terror I felt. He was so dreaded that he didn’t notice I was behind him.

And it was all I needed to give him to sentence him to his end.

As swiftly as I could, I grabbed the back of his neck with my long, razor-sharp teeth. I didn’t give him the chance to struggle or break free and snapped his neck. I was so consumed with wrath that I didn’t let it finish like that. I tore his head from his shoulder, spitting his head toward the river, and let the waters drift his head away, never to be seen again.

[Dominic!]

I dropped to the ground, gasping for breath as I weakly lifted my head to look at my wife’s beautiful face. If I didn’t feel her nuzzle me gently, I would think it was the poison that was making me see things. But she was real. Samantha came here for me—to save me. She knew I was in danger and came here despite the threats of the forest.

[You shouldn’t have come here.] I murmured to her, smiling deliriously.

[If I didn’t come, you are surely dead by now.] She said with teary eyes as she licked the side of my face.

The feeling of her body against me gave me a sense of relief, knowing that my wife was here and I was alive. I could go back to pack and see my twins. [What happened? You look—you have your wolf!]

[Yes, I do, my love.] She smiled as she sat beside me with love in her eyes. [Devon and Diana helped me. They knew and felt you were in grave danger, just like I did, so they volunteered bravely. Liam and Madison were there to help us and to take care of them after I left. We did the ritual, Dominic. That’s why I was able to come here as fast as I could. Devon and Diana are so brave. We are raising brave and powerful leaders for Silver Crescent.]

[Yes, they are. You are their mom.] I murmured to her and then remembered something. [I have the herb with me. But I had to swallow the capsule so those bastards can’t get it. I just have to vomit it out.]

She was surprised and laughed at the idea and I couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed about it. [Don’t be so cruel to me now. I almost died.] I chuckled.

[Let’s go home.] She whispered and then chuckled once more teasingly.
