Then she was telling the truth.
Looks like finding James and Eden would be less of a challenge that I originally thought.
……..
***JAMES***
“EDEn!” I shouted, running back into the house. “They’ve found us! You must go. YOU MUST GO nOW!”
I’d went out for some pieces of wood and it was then that my wolf picked up on hundreds of people closing in on us.
It was only a matter of time before they reached us.
Her eyes widened in horror. “I can’t just leave you and run!” She cried.
“You must… Please.” I begged her. “You are my everything Eden. You know how deep my love runs for you. Go and get help. I will be safe until you get back, I promise you.”
She looked terrified and her entire body was shaking.
“n-no!” She stuttered.
“GO!” I shouted.
Tears were flowing down her cheeks as I forced her out the secret exit.
I couldn’t let her stay here.
Once she was away and safe I could focus on what to do next and how to save myself.
***JAMES***
There was an army outside. The entire council along with Hunter and his men stood right outside the doorway. There wasn’t anywhere to run, not that I wanted to. now that Eden was safe, I could relax despite the enemies in front of me. She was all that I was concerned about. now that we were joined, my feelings for her were even more intense than before. So intense that I would kill for her without a second thought. So intense that I would go insane if anything ever happened to her while I was alive. I felt a calmness like no other at knowing that we loved each other and that she was safe from harm’s way.
“Where is Eden?” The prosecutor demanded. for once he didn’t look as though he was on top of everything, his entire composure was tensed and he looked like someone who hadn’t slept for days. Just the thought of that made me happy. He deserved every bit of it and so much more that I was more than willing to give to him.
I chuckled. “You’re f*****g delusional if you think I’m going to tell you that.”
His eyes darkened a shade and he was definitely not pleased with my tone. Just like before, that only added to my joy. My eyes travelled to Hunter who was studying me closely, surprisingly he didn’t seem as worked up as the prosecutor, but then again he barely ever showed any emotion. I was sure that they all could see that Eden and I were already bonded. A bonded male was easy to spot. That would only fuel their anger towards us.
“Listen to me alpha James,” the prosecutor said as he took a step closer. “It’s either you tell me or you die, right here. There’s no one to help you today. You are completely alone and surrounded by all of us who want you dead.”
He was right. There was no one here to help me. I was surrounded by dangerous shifters and vampires, as well as witches. My pack as well as everyone that was supposed to help me were all scattered, I had no idea how long it would take for all of them to gather and reach here in time. Even if they came, how long would it take for the other packs as well as the Blackners to arrive as well? The odds weren’t in my favor, not even a little bit.
This could be my last few minutes alive. If that was the case, I didn’t want to waste it. If I was going down, I was taking a good bit of the council down with me.
The less of them present, the better off the entire world would be.
I despised the prosecutor with everything in me. He was the reason for many of the sufferings happening around us. He was one of the main reasons why my mate had such a painful childhood and was still being given a hard time.
I narrowed my eyes, my wolf ready to rip his throat apart. He was my main target.
“I’ll like to see you try.” I roared before throwing a hard punch to his face. I was satisfied as I saw him bounce back and hit the ground with a loud bang. It was probably the first time he’d taken such a direct hit in many years. I was happy to know that I was the one to give it to him.
With another roar I shifted into my wolf and let out a mighty howl, letting my pack know that I was in trouble. Even if Eden didn’t get to them in time, they would know that I needed their help. I just had to hope that they got her before I breathed my last breath.
Without a second thought I lunged forward, ready to rip out his neck. However, I stopped midair as my wolf crashed into a hard invisible barrier around him.
I growled.
The witch Cassandra was using her spell to protect the fool! She wasn’t just any witch, the woman was powerful, so powerful that she was one of the main members of the council.
Before I could focus my anger on her, multiple wolves jumped onto my back trying to reach for my neck. I jumped for a tree and slammed the wolves on my back against it. I was satisfied with their yelps of pain.
I was about to make a grab for them again when I felt an excruciating pain in my head. I stopped and howled in agony.
The damn witch was playing with my mind again! I’d felt this before, in the fight against alpha Eric. They’d used this same tactic on us.
Damn it!
It was hard to focus on anything or anyone with the pain I was feeling. I tried to suck it up at the same exact time someone barreled into me.
All I could feel was pain in all directions. This meant multiple wolves were on me at the same time. I felt something wet touch my body and it was only then did I realize that it was my own b***d. The ground was red and the smell of my own b***d touched my nose.
I tried to fight back but with so many on me while also experiencing the pain in my head brought upon me by the witch, it was just too hard to.
I felt my wolf grow weaker; in fact this was the most pain it had ever been under. I couldn’t keep this up for long. I was losing the battle just like I was losing b***d.
